Senior Capstone Practicum Proposal Form 2018-19

Student Name: Noah Griffiths & Ulysses Aburto Period: 1

Topic (a few words): getting teenagers off phone and getting active

Topic in full sentence (identifies the problem): Kids today spend large amounts of time on their phones, and
not outside being active, so we will go with kids to the park and we will all get off our phones and play
basketball.

Description of practicum (What do you see this journey bring for you?)

This journey for us will be a fun experience. We will get our peers off their phones and get them outside. We
want to have fun without our phones and playing basketball will solve this.

**Questions used for Research (Annotated Bibliography):

1. How many hours do teens go outside and do physical activity

2. Why are teens so lazy?

3. What benefits do people get by being off their phones?

4. How long do teens spend on their phones?

5. Why are teens on their phones and how can their peers do about getting them off.

6.Why aren't teens being active outside, and can getting off phones help counter that problem?

7.How many hours do teens spend on their phones?

8.How many hours do teens spend outside?

9.What benefits do teens get from being active outside?

10.Who can benefit from interacting with peers, rather than being isolated?

What information did you learn through your research that you will apply to the practicum? Provide specific
details. TO BE COMPLETED AFTER RESEARCH!

We learned that teens have active minds and we need to keep them active.

Learning Goals/Outcomes: What will you understand and/or be able to do as a result of your practicum?
We will be able to understand that being on your phone and getting physical activity is better than staying at
home and doing nothing.

How will you make a difference in other people’s lives from your journey. What impact do you hope to have?

We will make our peers get off their phones. I hope the impact that we have will influence our peers to get off
their phones and then they will spread the word around.

List the steps you will take to complete the practicum and how will you document each and every step for
completing your product (emails, photos, videos, interviews- recorded or transcribed, surveys, phone call logs,
etc...). You may add steps/spaces as needed. A few steps will not do. Think of every possible step.

What organization (if any) will you work with and for what purpose?

N/A

Learning Stretch: How will this project be a new and meaningful challenge for you?

This project is meaningful because not only will it help boost our physical health, but also help increase our
self confidence as well as the people we play with and benefit the community over all.

How will you display your final practicum in your digital portfolio? (Pictures, videos, screencasts, etc…)
Remember that ALL of your evidence must be on your portfolio. An interview must be filmed or have a
transcript. Every picture must have a verbal explanation (screencastify?) Anyone should be able to access
your website and be able to understand every step you took. You saying you did something is not enough.
You must have evidence of every step. Be thorough here!
We will make a documentary type video of us playing basketball and not going on our phones. We will have
interviews and video recordings of our peers not going on their phones and having fun.
