Blog 8: Independent Component 1 Proposal

Title: Blog 8: Independent Component 1 Proposal

Label: Independent Component

Due Date:  Thursday, 10/8 by 8AM

As usual, include a visual, and copy #1-4 with your answers in your own blog entry.

 What is it?  Independent Component 1 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 topic in more depth with this component.  On February 6, 2015, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:

• Section documenting hours for Independent Component 1 in Senior Project Hours link (this should be documented regularly and can be spot checked throughout the year).
• Evidence of the 30 hours of work (e.g. transcript, essays, tests, art work, photographs) as digital artifacts.
• Blog reflecting on the work completed

To get your idea approved now, please answer the following questions:

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

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

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.

To be approved, your proposal should be supported with details and examples for the senior team to understand what you plan to do.   

Next steps: Once we review your blog post, your house teacher will discuss with you the approval of your plan either face-to-face or as a comment on this post. If your idea is approved, please start working on it.  If it is not approved, your house teacher will explain why.  It is your job to follow up with your teacher.
