Blog #7 : Independent Component

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
  • For my independent component I will be going to a research class that my mother teaches twice a week for three hours but I will also be writing a book on the life of Ipoly and self-publishing it at the end of senior project. The class includes different way to look up articles and book needed for a good research paper and also how to make an annotated bibliography. This class will tie into what we are doing for senior project as well because of the research we are doing to find more information on our topic. The book I will be writing will be all about the Ipoly life and will have interviews from many students and teachers about the school. I will try to get at least 20 different point of views from kids at I-poly and try to interview all the teachers that haven't left I-poly to get a better and broader area to work with.
2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
  • I will be showing 30 hours worth of evidence by interviewing people at school but also have my mom sign a paper saying when I was in class and for how long. I will also update the hours log as I go along.
3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
  • What I'm doing will help me explore my topic in depth by giving me a look onto how it feels to have to do so much research and also gives me a feel for being an self-publishing author. It gives me a chance to explore and divulge in everything having to do with self- publishing including editing and writing and rewriting the work. I believe this will be a great experience for me.
4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.
  • Senior Project Hours are updated.

  1. These sound like two great ideas! Will you have time for both? I just want to make sure that you are not overwhelmed. A lot happens senior year, and I want you to feel good about what you are doing. I also need to see that you've updated your senior hours ASAP.
