Project One: Contextualization
In this project I used my research on school funding to bring context to the plans that Doug Mastriano and Josh Shapiro have for if they are elected governor. I did this so readers could have a deeper understanding of the topic and the effects of their plans.
English and Art
For english and art I completed a college research essay. I did my research based on costs, available programs, location and diversity. I mainly researched schools that offered trades because in the future I would like to attend a trade school over a four year college or university.
Social Studies
For social studies I researched the in's and outs of public school funding in Pennsylvania including how funding works, where it comes from, how much funding students receive each year and how funding impacts schools. I used this information to build context for the research I completed on Shapiro and Mastriano, the two main candidates for governor from the democratic and republican party. I researched Shapiro and Mastriano's plans if they win the election and how it would impact schools. To present my information I created a website breaking down school funding, the candidates plans and their possible effects.
