Component 4:
Product/End Result
Your
project should result in something that you create, produce, or
organize. Your research should lead you to your product. You are
encouraged, within district risk management limits, to be as creative
as you can and to make this product something that will be personally
meaningful to you rather than just another task.
Format:
Your product can be in virtually any format. It can be a paper, something you build, an event that you organize, a class that you teach, a film that you make, a concert that you perform, a website that you begin, a scientific experiment, etc. Use your imagination.
Note:
Students already involved in groups (Eagle Scouts, etc.) requiring a major project may be able to adapt their project to meet the CP requirements as well. Students should discuss this possibility with their faculty advisor during the proposal stage to make certain all OHS requirements would also be met.
Requirements:
- Your product must be related to your research.
- Your research alone, however, cannot serve as your product.
- You must follow the guidelines of the Olympia School District Risk Management Office. Certain projects and products are prohibited for safety or other legal reasons.
- Your product must be completed by the end of the semester.
PRODUCT/END RESULT -- SCORING RUBRICS
Students should choose the one rubric which best matches the type of project they are completing. This decision should be checked with the faculty advisor to make sure it is appropriate for the project. Students should use the rubric as a guide during project planning to ensure that all required traits will be covered during project completion.
The Product/End Result Rubrics are as follows:
- Career Exploration (pdf)
- Design a product, service, or system (pdf)
- Event or Activity Planning (pdf)
- Investigation (pdf)
- Learning a New Skill/Improving an Existing Skill (pdf)
- Research (pdf)
Nearly all activities will fall into one of the 6 types of projects listed, each of which has its own grading rubric and specific requirements.
For this component, you will choose the one rubric that best matches the type of project you wish to complete. Study the trait requirements in your chosen rubric during the planning process to be sure that you will cover all of them in the completion of your project. Ask your supervising teacher for guidance early if you are not sure which rubric to choose.
