Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

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.  

Please answer the following questions for independent component 2 idea approval. 


1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

Originally, my independent component one was supposed to be an additional outlet for research, meaning 30 more hours with my mentor. BUT. I was mentor-less for quite a while and had to add a mini lesson to my IC. Although I learned important communication skills during my IC one with mentorship, I feel that there was not much creativity involved and for this reason want to collaborate with a fellow I-Poly Senior (Woo! Alexis Crisanto!) to create a blog with activities for elementary school teaching.  

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

In order to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence, I will have documentation of every task completed on my senior project hours log and also have the final IC 2 blog linked to my senior blog. The IC 2 blog will be filled with visuals and videos of crafts and activities done for elementary school teaching. It will also include descriptions the importance of each activities and easy to follow instructions (if needed). 

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.

This component will help me explore my topic in more depth because I would be incorporating what I learned from mentorship and using tech to connect with other professionals in the field. I'll also be collaborating with another student and be able to share and utilize research we both came to find. By doing this component, I'll be able to rule out any answer that doesn't satisfy my new essential question. 

4.  Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.

My Senior Project hours link has been updated with an "Independent Component 2" log and can be viewed here.
