Purpose: Begin thinking through what you will do to make a difference in the community that is affected by
your topic. Plan out your fifteen hours with the end in mind. Your goal is to positively impact someone. This
form must be completed by Feb. 17 and included in your graduation project electronic portfolio. You are to
answer the questions below in complete, well thought-out, mature sentences. Also, If you intend to have a
mentor (teacher, boss, business owner, etc.), please save all email correspondence, as this is optional but
worth two extra credit points to your Graduation Project grade.

1.Provide a brief description of your topic:

My topic is mostly about putting an end to animal testing and the cruelty that is done to the animals

2.Name the community that is affected by your topic. Explain how the community is affected. I would mostly
say that the community mostly affected is not one in particular, i want it to spread within all schools

3. What can you do to help (or further, encourage, advocate, improve, change, educate, etc.) this community
with your chosen topic? Brainstorm ways to help.
One way to help is to spread awareness and to get in contact with the schools and get close to the children,
get to them while they are young .

4. Describe in paragraph form, what type of SLE you will complete. Explain the overall goal of your efforts. For
example, if my topic was to end homelessness in Charlotte, then I may want to plan a canned food drive. So
for my SLE, my goal is to connect with three local food pantry organizations, ask what items they are in need
of, then advertise to Charlotte at multiple locations to bring awareness to the need for the shelters, I will have
stations for people to donate canned goods. I will collect as much as I can, then bring it to the homeless shelter
to help the homeless. This doesnt solve homelessness exactly, but it will help local shelters because they
wont have to spend money from their small budget on food. This means that that they could help the homeless
with job training or housing because there is more money to spend on those things.
My overall goal is to spread awareness, get to the children, gain money for animal shelters and help those
animals in need of a home.

5. An artifact is a synonym for evidence. What kind of artifacts will you specifically have so that you can prove
to the judges that you made an impact with your SLE hours? Think videos, lesson plans, email
correspondence, pictures, etc.).

Mostly brochures and pamphlets

6. Create a timeline, or a list of steps, that you will take to complete your project. Estimate how much time you
will need for each step. Your total should equal at least 15 hours.
