Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?
What is the best technique to implement stormwater regulations as it relates to the Clean Water Act?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
One of the best way to implement stormwater regulations is by public education.

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Another one of the best techniques to implement stormwater regulations is building the community.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
For the first answer when I go to events with my mentor and do activities with people, you can tell they are thinking and actually trying to learn. When we tell someone how to help they say they will do it and that shows that they were listening and hopefully they will do what they say. I have seen people tell their friends and family what to do and what not to do.

5.  What printed source best supports your answer?
Burton, Aaron. "Advancing Stormwater Reuse." Stormwater Management Nov. 2014: 16-19. Web. 22 Jan. 2015.

6. What other source supports your answer?
http://sbcountystormwater.org/

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.
Community is a really big part in helping prevent stormwater polliution because when everyone is helping out the problem is being solved easier and quicker.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
I will be talking to organizations that study peoples behavior, I will be conducting my own experiments to collect statistical data peoples behavior

 2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will take lots of pictures when I do experiments and I will have other classmates helping me so they can also vouch for me that I actually did what I did. 

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.
A lot of the experiments that I will be doing will be based on a highly possible second answer. So doing these experiments will help me confirm to either keep or change my possible second answer.

4.  Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.

Independent Componant 1

LITERAL
“I, Andrea Rosales, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 34 hours of work.”

 Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.
My mentor Joseph Rosales was one of my best sources because he really knows so much about my topic and can explain everything really well and helped me out a lot.

(c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.
------>

Explain what you completed.
I did a 45 min presentation to the West house sophomores and i have been going with my mentor to inspect businesses which take up most of the morning.

 INTERPRETIVE 
Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work. 
Doing the presentation really helped my understand my answer better and going to do inspections with my mentor really helped me understand my topic better because I actually got to see myself how the inspections work and how the different businesses don't follow regulations.
  -this is a picture I took when my mentor and I were out in Rialto doing inspections.

  • APPLIED
    How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this. 
This component really helped me understand my topic better because this gave me the opportunity to go out in the field and see what goes on and how stormwater regulations are implemented. it is also interesting to see the very few people who care about our planet and actually try to help out and cooperate. 

Lesson 2 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
     I am very proud of my activity because it was very engaging and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

 2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
      P

 b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
      I think I deserve at least a P because my activity was very fun and I gave good explanations on my research and answer and I made time.

 3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
      My activity was like the star of the show in my presentation. Everybody really enjoyed it and someone even told me it was cute.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
    If I would be able to go back I would change something I said. Something kind of accidentally slipped out, it wasn't that bad but still probably should have said something that means the same thing in another word. 

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
    To be honest I really have no idea. I am constantly thinking about it but can't quite get a good answer yet.
