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.
To get your idea approved now, please answer the following questions:
1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For my thirty hours I plan to just spend more time with my mentor, in her classroom. I chose to do this because I feel like in order to really learn how early childhood education affects a child is by actually observing them in the classroom.
So, I plan on going on Wednesdays, in addition to already going on Mondays, and really interacting with the children by helping them with their work.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
To show evidence of the work I will be doing with the kids I will post pictures on my blog of work they do, which includes; crafts, worksheets, drawings, etc. However, I'm not sure if I am allowed to take pictures of myself with the children, but I'll be sure to ask the Director and my mentor for permission.
3. Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
As I mentioned before, my topic is Early Childhood Education, and I think to know how my topic really affects the kids I have to actually see it taking place. So by adding more hours with my mentor, I feel like that's the best way to gain knowledge and experience it first hand. By spending more time interacting with the kids I'll really learn how having an education early on helps them personally.
4. Update your Senior Project Hours log.
