Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1.) I am going to plan the senior class prom. I plan to start this week with committee meetings and work my way up to completing the event and making it as memorable as possible.
2.) I think planning prom will actually exceed the 30 hours required since their will be many meetings, phone calls, shopping, making decorations, selling tickets, etc.
3.) Well my EQ is "what makes a prom successful?" and I'm planning my class' prom so I'm basically trying to answer my own EQ through my independent component.

Literal:

a.) "I, Ana, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work"

b.) Purther

c.) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApwXYtW5K75ZdFZrOWozdTJzbjNSVWFyZWw2U0Z5a0E

d.) I basically created a senior activity in which we all gathered together, ate, watched movies, and played games.

Interpretive:

• Due to the fact that my senior topic is event planning, I decided to plan an event for my class which was the Sunset BBQ. I was in charge of a committee, held meetings, checked prices for everything, organized games, looked for a location, etc. It took me a month to be able to plan the whole event which helped me complete my 30 hours.

Applied:

• It helped me understand from first-hand experience how much work actually has to go into planning an event.
• Having to hold constant meetings
• Shopping for everything you need
• Fundraising money for the food

Blog 10: Senior Project Update

1.) I am currently not doing anything for my independent component but I will get on it soon. I know what I'm going to do which is plan a Senior BBQ/Sunset for the class of 2013 and I have four helpers but I have not started the actual planning of it. 

2.) I recent piece of research is an actual Quinceanera I got the chance to attend. There I was able to learn what an event planner does when something goes wrong in the quinceanera and how to run the entire event itself. 

3.) Evidence.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1.) For my independent component, I would like to plan a senior picnic as a "bonding activity". I imagine there being a variety of simply foods and drinks, along with games in which the majority of the class can participate in.
2.) I believe this plan will complete my 30 hours of work with all the things I have to do in order to accomplish the event. Which invloves, getting the class to pitch in for the event, buying all the supplies, looking for a place, date, and time, etc.
3.) My working EQ is "What makes an event successful?" So I think that depending on the way the senior picninc turns out, I'll be able to have a answer of my own to that question.
