Blog 16: Independent Component 2 Approval

Content:

Please review the component contract in 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 22, 2014, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:

• Blog post answering specific questions posted by senior team
• Log of hours clearly delineated as Independent Component 2 on the senior project hours 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   

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 this second independent component, I plan to spend half of the 30 hours creating a food blog based off the recipes my family cooks. This blog will contain recipes, how-to's and basic cooking tips. The second half will be a mini pamphlet which will be inspired by the "For Dummies" books to illustrate culinary skills and tricks.

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

-For this idea, the project itself shall be the evidence. A link to this blog/waiver as well as progress updates for this should be evidence enough

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

-One of the biggest sources of culinary knowledge other than schools and restaurants are Food Blogs. This blog should help me funnel my knowledge and expertise into a location where anyone would be able to learn about my subject and how to succeed in it.

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

Component 2" log.
