  Case: Volunteer Capstone Project
Our school is looking to start a capstone project where students are required to complete volunteer hours each year that they are in school. Then their senior year they will complete some sort of paper about their experiences. These hours from each year and paper will be tied into their senior English/language arts class. I have so many reservations about this capstone project. The biggest one is how is a volunteer capstone project if we require them to do it? And how do we keep students from "cheating" their way through the hour requirements?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The capstone project is a good idea because it allows them to give to the community. You can keep them accountable by having the person in charge of the student at the volunteer place to fill out a progress report
