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!) It's volunteer in the sense that they will be volunteering their time in classrooms, but the project itself is mandatory I'm assuming. A lot of students cheat when they're in a time crunch. Have check in points throughout the years to assess how they're doing before senior year, and making sure everyone is on track.
