Describing+the+Project

__Mentors for the **Senior Research Paper** which is a component of the Senior Project__: Mentoring will be a 3 or 4 step process that basically involves supervising completion of the **Senior Research Paper**. Students will receive a checklist for the **Senior Research Paper** from Ms. Liberi with a slot to write in the name of the mentor teacher. Each mentor will receive the checklists for each of their 3 students in their mailboxes. Mentors should meet briefly with their students each week and expect to review the checklist and assignments due each week for the research paper. When and where is negotiate by each student and teacher. Total points earned per week are assigned by Ms. Liberi. Step 1: Mentor teachers will be notified by Christmas break regarding who is assigned to them. Step 2: 1st draft will be due the week before spring break. Mentors will read over spring break and provide feedback. (Following a staff meeting sometime this fall, we will explain the parameters of the paper.) Step 3: If the mentor teacher can manage it through the schedule, he/she will attend that senior’s presentation. Step 4: The responsibility of the mentor is to check the progress weekly according the Research Paper Checklist.
