What would you like to do/create for your independent component?
For my independent task, I want to be able to teach astronomy to teens and kids. I've been talking to Ms. Melagno and she actually offered me this opportunity to teach the class in the beginning (for ten minutes) every day I have class with her. I do not know if it would count because it's in iPoly, but I have a second plan. I am doing community service with Mendoza Elementary School and I would probably teach kids astronomy. I talked to the principal and she said that she would allow me this opportunity.So this two independents tasks are what I have in mind so far.
Explain how you think this will be a worthwhile use of 30 hours?
This independent task is a great opportunity because not only would I learn how to teach to students, but I will be able to teach teens and kids about astronomy. They will have a better view of the subject and I know I can learned a lot before my big presentation. This is why I am doing my service learning with an astronomy professor so I can be able to put in action what I learned in a similar way. By the end of my independent task, I will figure out what should I focus on for my final presentation and how will I present it.
How will this help you to answer your EQ?
My EQ is -What is the most important quality of a successful astronomy class? My independent study will help me answer my question because I will be teaching so much in different areas, that it will help me narrow down the what materials and methods are most valuable in astronomy. Throughout my studies, I will find my aswer to this questions.
