Please join us in serving as a content advisor and/or on a review panel. Our students really benefit by hearing advice and critical feedback from adults and you too can benefit by learning more about NLCP and the issues that matter to our students.
The Senior Project process begins with seniors creating their own driving questions with the only criteria that the question be a matter of importance to each senior. This question will be the central area of inquiry for which the rest of their months long Senior Project process is designed to answer. We hope you find a sampling of this year's range of driving questions compelling:
- How do advertisements shape consumer behavior?
- How has human interaction changed due to social networking?
- How can the incidence of breast cancer in African American women be reduced to that of whites?
- How does the oil extraction process affect the environment and the people in it?
- How will nanoparticles be useful to the synthesis of hydrocarbons?
- How can converting to alternative energy sources create jobs and ease the pain of the recession?
- Can we effectively stop the spread of infectious diseases in America through education?
- Should college students choose a career that is recession proof?
- Have advances in forensic science made our criminal justice system more just?
- How has blues music made an impact on Rap and R & B?
- How does the quality of education differ between HBCU and Ivy League schools?
- In terms of being a superpower, where is the U.S. as a country?
- What impact does the recession have on the fashion industry?
- How does poverty divide our society?
These are not just interesting questions; the answers to these questions can have profound societal implications.
