Project 4 was a little different for my partner and I. This year would make it my 3rd year taking the Apollo program and would make it 2 years for my partner, Haley Adams. Haley and I are both seniors this year which is why we decided to make our project based around our, as well as others, high school memories by making an video and creating an graduation speech.
English
Haley and I wrote the graduation speech by incorporating multiple examples of others graduation speeches from various websites. After reading each one, we had a better understanding on what to write for our own graduation speech. We incorporated the emotions and personal experiences of ourselves and other seniors to make a graduation speech that can connect to seniors now and upcoming.

Art
To make a video incorporating other seniors' own memories in their 4 years of high school, the first step was to ask people we know and didn't know. This step took the longest because we had to rely on others to create our art and make it fit into the thinking skill, synthesis. Once we collected enough memories from ourselves and others, it was time to put all the memories into one. Haley and I put the memories together based on Friday Night lights, Sports, and Having fun with Friends without labeling. The last step to having a finished project was to get audio in the background. Initially, Haley and I chose to use songs from the past 4 years of high school but we ended up using graduation speeches from more known people and the tv show, Suite Life on Deck.
Synthesis
The thinking skill we had to focus on for this project was synthesis. Synthesis is combining multiple ideas to create a new idea. Synthesis was included in the video portion of our project. The combination of memories and graduation speeches came together to create a video that makes you laugh and to some, teary-eyed from it being their last year of high school.
