a.) I am happy with my progress with my project because... I think that it will be really cool and interesting.

b.) As I have been progressing with the first three goals of my project I want to change my habit of procrastinating about my process in order to complete my stated project because I don't want to do it last minute.

c.) After referring to my Reflection Wikipage and rereading my paper reflection. Consider my responses. Next, I will copy and paste either of the following sentences into my Project Wikipage and type today's date on the line preceeding the pasted text. I have changed my habits of waiting until the last minute from when I worked on my paper to practicing the habits of spacing my time efficiently which have helped me progress with my project since I can demonstrate that I have increased my ability to plan and successfully complete assignments on time.

6. Copy and past the following prompts on my Presentation Wikipage then type or upload responses to the prompts: a) Identify the ideas/concepts from my research paper which will be included in my presentation by typing them in an outline format. b) Identify then explain why I will include general experiences/components of my project which will be integrated into my presentation by typing them. c) Identify, by typing, the names of the people with whom I am successfully making progress with for the completion of my project. d) Upload image(s) of the following which apply to my project type: - Internship = picture of business building and picture of the room in which the majority of time is spent. - Community Service = picture of site where service-learning is happening and picture of people with whom I am interacting or picture of the object(s) I am developing for improvement. - Social Action = picture of the site I am acting on or people whose situation I am acting to improve. - Product Development = picture of the current state of the tangible artifact I am creating or picture of me creating/developing the product.

** Project: ** Most projects revolve around one of the following questions: -How does my research intersect with an at large application or experience? The larger aspect of my project is to increase the awareness of musicality in songs that most teenagers listen to.

-What career aspirations do I have? To be a music producer

-How can I contribute to our community? By increasing awareness of music in our school.

-What are the passions, interests or hobbies for which I have an insatiable appetite? Music, art, performance

-What is a goal I have been longing to accomplish? So use auto-tune in a song

While I consider my project I have to select a format:

C) Community Service -What is it? Helping teach guitar lab. -What does it require me to do? Teach guitar lab. -Examples: cook for a shelter, visit senior citizens in a geriatric home, Habitat for Humanity, clean up the community.

D) Product Development -What is it? Can be used in the future by teachers to explain auto-tune.

-What does it require me to do? Record songs using auto-tune and creating a "how-to".

For the project, I have to address the following, among additional questions as my project is required to dovetail my research: -What is my topic? Music production.

-Why did I select this topic? How is it relevant to me? I am going to school to study the production of music.

-How is it relevant to society/community? Most of our society listens to the radio, and is thus subjected to a false representation of the talent of artists.

-Why is it of value for me to conduct this project? It will launch me in to my study of music and music production.

While devising a vision for what I want to accomplish with this project, I will have to create specific goals to achieve my vision and consequently break down the goals into manageable tasks. I can be helped along the way by a faculty/staff mentor to encourage me forward and I can select a topic expert from whom I can learn and use as a sounding board.
