2.(Need to know) What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said.  

• When decorating a room, can the classroom be considered "too over bearing." Or is there never too much?

• In the all-star cheerleader, I didn't quite get what the difference was between a normal and an allstar.

• When using something in a presentation must there be validity for it. Food for example? Must it be stated in the presentation?

• Does it matter if we go over the 30 minutes?

3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

The most important part of this presentation, from what i saw is the information, not shown across the room, or in the powerpoint, but what you withhold in your own knowledge. I find that when I get to that point next year, the thing I must concern myself the most is to be able to know my subject inside and out. That way answering my own essential question will be as easy as it can be.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

 I'm considering doing either art or Psoriasis. I'm keeping my options open because this summer I plan to attempt to volunteer at an art museum and a dermatologist clinic to see what will be my best choice as a senior project.
