Being able to see what they do more helped me better understand things like for my last answer about emergency responses and being able to understand the changes that these officers have seen since so many large events/emergencies have happened since they started working there.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
I at the current moment have no idea what I going to plan to do with my second Independent Component and would like to discuss it would my house and advisory house teacher before deciding what I will do.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will probably do something similar to what I did for my first Independent Component where I made a powerpoint and put pictures and links to papers I wrote for the component.


3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.
At the current moment I have no idea.



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

  (d) Explain what you completed.   
  I recreated the investigation that was described in the information for the Mock Trial we did for Rivas's class.
  
• 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. 
  I recreated on of the scenes described in the information given to me in the packet for the investigation. I took pictures then chose three that would show what was described. I found a document that had a search warrant that you fill out and made it a PDF to fill out on the computer and filled it out on the computer. Then I rewrote 3 reports that were described in the information and did a debrief on them. Here is the PowerPoint I made that shows all of this. (All of the reports and the debrief are on the PowerPoint.)
  
• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
  It made me really take a look into how the investigations and the reports that most people in law enforcement have to write and have they have to be very detailed and how much work it actually takes.

 
 

 

Blog 8: Independent Component 1 Proposal

 

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

I plan to work on constructing an investigation from the mock trial from the information given to me. I planned on writing reports on the crimes the mock trial was based on (The trial of the Big Bad Wolf). I planned on staging a crime scene from the information in the packet we received. I also planned on going over the report from the mock trail and the one that I will write. I plan on making the evidence rather than buying it as well.

 

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

I plan on taking as many pictures as possible. I will log in hours and log any research I do for the component. I plan on making the evidence and detailing how long it took me to do so in my log. I will be relying solely on pictures logs I make for the evidence I did the project.

 

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

This component will be looking into the investigative side of law enforcement. It looks at the process of the an investigation, how it must be documented and how reports must be written. It also looks at how much detail I can go into when constructing this investigation.
