LATE: Show Don't Tell

The most up to date version of my essential question is:

How can one plan a conference with a focus on leadership?

The foundation questions that I have developed so far are:

1. Who is the conference going to be targeted at?
2. Where will funds come from?
3. When will the conference be held?
4. How will I attract people?
5. Why is attending important?
6. How will this conference benefit people?
7. Who can speak at this conference?
8. How will I get media attention?
9. How will donations be solicited
10. Who will be involved?

Today will be the day that I set up my Easy Bib and then provide quotations and so on.

So all I really did last week was read through all of my sources and kind of ask some questions in my head work on foundation questions:

1. Who is the conference going to be targeted at?
2. Where will funds come from?
3. When will the conference be held?
4. How will I attract people?
5. Why is attending important?
6. How will this conference benefit people?
7. Who can speak at this conference?
8. How will I get media attention?
9. How will donations be solicited
10. Who will be involved?


and my essential question that's about it.

Conference Day

Today I talked with Hamilton about the graduation project of course.
Very productive chat.

We set goals for next week and starting today I'll be doing some research on my topic.

September 15th 2009

Today I'll still be googling things as well as narrowing down the topics that we have today.

Some things that I have been researching:

Costs
How to get sponsors
Venues
Leadership
How to run a leadership conference.

And more..................

as well as my topic itself and the steps.

September 14th 2009

Today I will be narrowing down all of the research that I've been doing to just kind of teen leadership so I'll be doing some research on teen involvement in a lot of things such as politics and community service and what not.

Todays Task

So today is still research day.
As I stated before the project was hard to think about.
But now that I have an idea of my project I can do some more research
So that's what today's project will be doing some more research

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Whoooooooooooooo.

REALIZATION!!!

So after my breakdown I figured out what my graduation project will be it is what it was before. I plan on developing a student leadership conference. There will be a lot of work that will be involved in creating this conference like:

Costs
Attendees
Speakers

Plus many many more things, but I believe that I have a good grasp on the topic so I can finish this easily.

Totally happy that I understand it now!!!!

September 09, 2009

Today is going to I guess the hardest day ever.
I don't really have a clue as to what I want my graduation project to be.
I had this topic the other day that sounded great and now it's kind of a so so idea. I don't know what the point of it would be now, I don't understand the whole concept of a graduation project still.
So I suppose today will be the day that I kind of sit down and think about what I want my topic to be and what the purpose of it will be and how feasible it is.

September 08 2009

So I guess today is the day to do some serious research on my project. I've already had a topic since Friday and today is the day to take those ideas and research them.
