STARTER
Inspiration! Action Project Inspiration from class of 2018
Pick 2-3 of the following model projects listed below then answer the questions further down. Ideally the projects you choose should be most related to the type of action project you’re considering or at least just sounds interesting. On the linked website above, find the student’s name, read about the student’s project description and the title of their thesis paper (read the abstract if you want/have time). Watch any videos that may be there.  

  1. Economics: Ben Malone
  2. Community Event/Experience: Lily Bisantz-Grace-Maya B.
  3. Writing: Kaitlin Dunn
  4. Buildy (Skate ramp) Lilah Gutt
  5. Film: Will Klumpenhower
  6. Art: Claire Leffler
  7. Poetry: Quinn Luthy
  8. Fashion Design and Branding: E. Rivera
  9. Economic Internship: Izzy Simpson

STARTER: Answer these questions:
  1. How closely linked is the thesis paper to the action project?
  2. What stands out about this project that makes it a model project?
