Culminating Exhibition Examples

~Poster Boards~ This has a lot

of information

but is really

hard to read

and pretty

boring!

More specific information and

visuals, not a lot of text, letter

is an acceptance letter into the

Army~

BORING!!

Better, but

still too much

text!!

Your Name

here

This was used in conjunction

with a PowerPoint presentation.

Problem is that the audience

can’t really get a good look at

your reflection sheets.

Good use of pictures, but don’t use

paragraphs of text!

Pictures were used only as an aid only,

along with her verbal presentation~

This is an example from last year,

the student used a folder with

archive pieces picked out to

illustrate:

Who am I?

Where am I going?

How will I get there?

Student had a notebook with

all of her archive pieces and

My Family List of family members

How does my family influence me?

I think my family has mostly taught me how to be a leader.

They have always taught me how to have fun.

They have also taught me the importance of love and respect.

I am a daughter, sister, aunt, and

sister-in-law

My Boyfriend

He is my best

friend in the

world.

Boyfriend

A lot of my friends come from

being so involved in Jazz Choir.

I really have tons of friends I couldn’t even list them all on this page if I tried. But each of

them influence me in a way to be who I am.

Friends

name

Good friends Choir friends

Extracurricular Activities I love Church! I go to church every Sunday and every decision in

my life is influenced by what I have learned in church. Going to church has made me a better person, friend, leader, and has really just plain made me a smarter kid. Because of church I am very ambitious and have a lot of goals for myself. I want to do what is right because I know it is right.

I have played many sports throughout my life.

The two sports that I love the most are gymnastics and

volleyball. I have played both for about 7 years. Each

sport has taught me determination and how to

challenge myself.

I’m actively involved in choir. I am the

vice president of Jazz Choir and I love to sing Jazz

and listen to it. I have gained friends and

knowledge from choir. Some of my best memories

from high school are from being in choir.

I plan to be going places in my education, my career, and by obtaining my very

own family.

College My Ambitions for college were big. I really wanted to follow the footsteps of my brother and sister by going to 4-year college. So I applied, and in months I got a letter back. This is what happened.

I wasn’t accepted. This was a huge shock for me because I have good grades and didn’t do bad on my ACT and SAT.

I thought some more about what I wanted to do and decided I really was interested in medical assisting. After deciding this I found a small technical college in Oregon close to family.

After reading information about this college I decided that I really liked the college and the programs it had to offer. I can still move to the area I wanted to and get an education that will be perfect for me.

Sorry!

Not

accepted!

Again~ TOO much

Information

Career Right now I work at Quiznos

When I move to Oregon I already have a job

teaching toddler gymnastics with my sister.

Even though I will be going to school for

medical assisting I also love teaching and if I

find I like teaching more then I might go back

to school to become an educational assistant or

even a teacher.

• After I graduate from the Medical Assisting program then

I plan on getting some sort of internship for a clinic so I

can practice my freshly learned skills and progress into a

better assistant and work full time.

Family Eventually I would

really love to get married in my church and have a family of my own.

service I have done then it will really help me in getting to the point I want to.

Try, Try, and Try Again

Baby Steps By taking small steps I will be able to

build a strong foundation for the life I

want. I know that I will be able to get

where I want to be by starting with

small jobs and a little education.

Eventually all the small steps I take will

add up and it will all be worth it.

I will get “there” by continuing to try my hardest. I know that

sometimes my best won’t be enough but I have faith that If I keep

trying my best then I will get to where I want to be.

Use as cues, not so much text~

I hope that my plans will

work out the way I plan

them to. Thanks to my

classes and assignments in

school I have been able to

find out who I am, where I

want to go, and how I need

to perform to get there.

This is something you could use as a cue with

“Thank you” and expand on verbally…..

Movie • This is an example

from a movie someone

made ~ it began with

introduction of the

family, then video of

them playing ultimate

Frisbee, which is

something the family

does together at least

once a month.

• Next pictures of his

friends from school.

• Where am I going

comes next~ what door

will he choose?

• Pictures of teachers

were used to state

that he needed their

help to figure out

where he was going.

• Also, student noted

that he is working at a

fast-food restaurant

right now to save up

money for college.

Scrapbook

Other formats One student played a song on their guitar

as their attention grabber, another had a dress they made while at Sno-Isle

Visual aid was the main focus, such as something made at Sno - Isle or pictures of items made in other classes: art, culinary basics, science experiments, etc.

Especially if your future career “where you are going” is related to that class or project.

Helpful hints? Quotes from a student survey

for those who participated on a Culminating Project.

Look at the examples, use and expand on those.

Check the rubric for requirements.

Don’t wait for the night before to complete.

I would do a little more research by myself on what I want to do with my life.

Practice what you are going to talk about and time yourself.

Be sure to add archive pieces and community service experiences.

Don’t procrastinate!!
