Title: The research conducted on twins and genes shows that drug addiction is mostly contributed to by genetics. Name: Mercy Eustace ** Background ** - I wanted to work on this project because it interests me. Drug addiction is a serious issue that I think a lot of people could stand to learn more about. I want to inform people about the risks of addiction when it runs in your genetics. The question I am seeking to answer is “ ** How do genetic factors contribute to drug and alcohol addiction? ”**  ** Vision ** - When this project is completed it will make a difference to others. It may help people to realize that drug and alcohol addiction is not a joke. Also I want people to know that addiction can be genetic and that if it runs in your family, that you should be very cautious. The project will address the driving question by showing that genetics do play a big role in addiction. The final product will show people the effects and risks that come along with addiction. ** Goals ** - ** Products ** - What will you do to show that you have met your goals. The presentation will be one of the products. You must prove you have met your goals by providing at least two products. Past products include performances, finished works of art, portfolio of work, etc. ** Task Analysis ** - What materials, resources and additional information will you need to complete your project successfully? Think through the specifics of Who, What, Where, When & How. You should have already addressed the "Why" in the background and Vision sections. You need to include a timeline of what needs to be accomplished by when. You must also address any additional research or information that will be necessary to complete the project. The task analysis should be as   detailed as possible. ** Mentor **** and Topic Expert Analysis ** - Provide your mentor’s and topic expert's name, position or title and a rationale for why you selected each as your mentor or topic expert. What have you learned from both people and how have they helped you? Provide another paragraph for each person detailing how you will build a strong personal and working relationship with them. How often do you plan on talking with them, how will you communicate and how will you keep them involved and excited about your work? ** Conclusion ** - Reflect on the personal importance of this project and the skills necessary to complete it. What strengths are you building on and what weaknesses will need to be addressed to be successful? Time management is a worthy skill to work on, but this skill is not the only aspect needed to complete this project. Your ability to analyze your own motivations, strengths and weaknesses is crucial as you move beyond high school. ** Signatures ** - You must sign your formal proposal along with your mentor, topic expert and your Senior Seminar teacher.
