Why E|E Uses YouTube

Fatimah, a High School for Recording Arts sophomore, explains what she's learned while working on her ongoing project documenting her family's struggle with homelessness as well as why she thinks her project has the potential to help others and influence policy. HSRA has played a lead role in helping Fatimah achieve at higher levels than she ever thought possible and thus has kept her motivated to work hard. Keith's comments reflect his understanding of the state standards that Fatimah must meet while using his position as her advisor to expose her to "the various types of legwork [she] has to do to get the project done and...various resources that are available to get things done."

Why E|E Uses YouTube

Lee presents his project documenting and reflecting on his involvement in a play. He describes how the extensive and in-depth dialogue with Kevin, his advisor, led him to a clearer understanding of his true dramatic interests—the production process rather than the acting. Kevin then comments on how the project pushed Lee to levels of higher order thinking he had previously only observed in 12th grade AP classes.
