Project Description
For my project I wanted to focus on a topic I am extremely passionate about. The sport of gymnastics that I have been pursuing for about 6 years of my life. I am a few months from being in college and the search for colleges has been hard work. For my project I was given the idea to use this college search and convert it into a project. For english I will be taking the three colleges I applied to and compare/synthesize the three colleges I applied to using different sources in order to create an unbiased overview of each collage without relying on just one source, For Art I will be synthesizing my own self made routine and pulling into a video all the different elements that are incorporated into the routine. For instance my routine was made from a snippet of several others routines that were incorporated into one. Overall the thinking skill of synthesis is being incorporated into each product.
English
For english I will being taking the colleges I applied for that include gymnastics. Similar to the college research essay I did last year , I will be synthesizing each college. I will be including information from Pittsburgh ,Duquesne and Ursinus colleges. I will be evaluating each to decide how each meets my standard and also including information from other sources, It is important to create an overview idea of each college not just based on it’s on information but also information provided by other sources. Taking information from different sources is where the synthesis factor of this project will be applied.
Art
For art I am going to synthesize a floor routine that was created by me containing various skills incorporated from other routines.I am going to break down the routine and visually show what was incorporated and where it came from. The short clips included in this short video came from successful gymnast and their very own gymnastics routines. I was able to create my own and incorporate a bit of each. Taking snippets of each routine and combining it into one is where synthesis was applied in my project.
