Blog 16 : Independent Component 2 Approval

1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
• What I plan on doing for my 30 hours is to teach my own lesson to the students. I had originally planned to do this for independent component one but there was a problem with me getting to my mentorship. I plan on doing a followup lesson from whatever the teacher is teaching and so I will need to get creative and come up with activities and ways to teach the students.  
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
• To meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence, I plan to take pictures of me teaching the students and the students working on the worksheets that I provide them. Also upload the worksheets that I create and perhaps upload a couple of pictures of the student's work. 
3. Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.
• This component will help with my topic because it will help me to see what technique is best way to teach and help the students. It will also help me to see how each student is learning differently and find more ways to help the students learn. It will prove to me how my answers really work and help me to find my last answers and figure out which is my best answer. 
4. Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.
• Done. 

Note to Self:
Please review the component contract in the senior project packet.   The Independent Component 2 is an opportunity for you to add a dimension of creativity and/or an additional outlet for research.  The goal of the component is for you to explore your answers in more depth.  On Friday, April 22, 2014, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:

• Blog post answering specific questions posted by senior team
• Log of hours clearly delineated as Independent Component 2 on the senior project hours spreadsheet (with total number of hours included)
• Evidence of the 30 hours of work (e.g. transcript, essays, tests, art work, photographs) as digital artifacts   

Your answers to the questions should be supported with details and examples for the senior team to understand what you plan to do. Once we review your Blog Post 16, your house teacher will discuss with you the approval of your plan.  If it is approved, please start working on it.  If it is not approved, your house teacher will explain why. It is your job to address the concerns so you can get your component approved.  Additionally, any changes requested must be addressed to your house teacher well in advance of the completion date for full credit on the assignment.
