Welcome to the Senior Exhibition Project!  You are about to embark upon a year-long 

academic journey, during which you will be given the opportunity (your last before 

college and the “real” world) to develop essential academic skills.  By the end of this 

journey you will have exhibited these skills: organizing a great deal of information, 

working with teachers as well as adult mentors and peers, conducting research and an 

interview, and writing a paper of 8-10 pages in length.  In the course of this project

you will be developing and honing such skills and habits as the following: 

♦ Asking meaningful questions and knowing where to find the answers 

♦ Analyzing the content and quality of information you find 

♦ Approaching an expert with confidence and maturity 

♦ Seeking advice and help when necessary 

♦ Pursuing a project in depth and maintaining focus over time 

♦ Developing and managing independence by organizing your time 

♦ Writing clearly and logically in support of your point of view 

♦ Seeking out an idea of interest to you and pursuing that interest actively and 

passionately
