Riverdale High School Senior Exhibitions

The Exhibition - An inquiry process centered around essential questions

The essential questions a student generates should be interesting, relevant, thorough, thoughtful and ambiguous - in that they should not have one clear answer. Student exhibitions should create something new and authentic, go beyond previous work, be as original as possible, demonstrate inquiry and synthesis, and integrate as many core subject areas as are reasonable.

The Exhibition contains three elements:

An oral presentation to a panel consisting of:
- two certified staff members
- a member of the junior class
- two outside experts from fields related to the topic

A portfolio of materials related to their exhibition, including:
- a written response to the student’s essential questions
- documentation of the resources used in the development of their exhibition
- a reflection on the exhibition process

A technological component that demonstrates technical literacy and supports the exhibition.
This could be a web site, database, spreadsheet or computer program.
