Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

Content:

Please review the component contract on page 12 of 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 24, 2014, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:

·       Log of hours on an digital 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
·       LIA

The senior team expects that your log will be on the right hand side of your blog in the Senior Project Hours link.   In addition to this,  we expect that you will be able to prove the total 30 hours of work by submitting evidence to the blog by the due date.  For this blog post and approval, please answer the following questions.

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

For my 30 hours I will be creating and organizing an event that will be helping finding homes for our rescued bunnies. At my organization we have rescued many of our bunnies we have today, but theres a problem many of the bunnies that we have rescued had of course been reproducing. For months we've been trying to separate the females from the males but the still managed to either sneak in to where the males or the females are or we have accidentally mixed one male with female bunnies. So due to all that we have had an extreme growth in our bunny population and not able to really keep all of them since we are running out of room. And it's really unfair to just have the bunnies being overcrowded. So my plan is to help create an event where we can welcome anyone who is interested on adopting a cute furry friend to take home. Basically trying to promote it and have people come and get to interact with the the animals we do have. While organizing this event I will not just be promoting the bunnies by also informing others about what good animal rehabilitation is to our community. Also there will be a adopting fee for each bunny and the money will go towards the funding for our animals. 

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

When showing 30 hours of evidence I will be providing a flyer which I will create my self promoting the event. Also take lots of picture of the event and make sure a few of them have me in it with the bunnies. I will keep all recites of any payment of any supplies that I will need for the event. And last of all I will give my mentors contact information so you can contact him to verify my 30 hours of work.

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 by understanding what animals rehabilitation does. They take care and nurture the animals and when they are done and healed they bring them back to there habitat but see if your working with domestic animals after the animals have been healed or rescued they need a place to go. So rehabilitators help find good homes for their animals and make sure there in good care. 


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 15, 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.
