Advisory Meeting #2

Content:

Just like you did for answer 1 and the objectives for Purther's textbook work for answer 2 post:

EQ

Another way or a Domestic violence can best help a victim escape an abusive relationship is to make the community be more aware therefore teaching a curriculum for students in middle and high school, designed to teach them how to escape an abusive relationship.  

1. Roughly 1.5 million high school boys and girls in the U.S. admit to being intentionally hit or physically harmed in the last year by someone they are romantically involved with. 
2. One in three adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner, a figure that far exceeds rates of other types of youth violence.  
3. Only 33% of teens who were in a violent relationship ever told anyone about the abuse.

Teens are the most vulnerable to domestic violence, in their case dating violence. Teaching a curriculum for teens in middle and high school is the best why for them to be more aware and how to  respond if they are in a situation where they are trying to break free/escape.

*Write your answer like you would write a thesis statement.  Please don't give us one or two words or start your sentence with by.    Thanks!

On Friday 2/28 for Advisory #2, you will be presenting what you have from this blog.  The presentation is more like a share-out and should not last longer than 2 minutes. You don't need a visual.   

Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours. 
     -I am planning to do more mentor ship work with Marina Wood because it really helped me understand           my EQ way better and also I love what I am doing now. Maybe to take to the next level, I could go          
help my mentor at her actual events instead of helping her prepare for it.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence. 
      - I will continue to log in my Hours in my spreadsheet i provided on the right hand side and                              take pictures for evidence. I will be at House of Ruth every Thursdays or whatever days I am free.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth. 
      - I will be at House of Ruth more often and not just that I will be trying my best to attend                                  events and ask my mentor Marina Wood to give me any books or classes I could attend. My Mentor          
is already a awesome teacher and I am sure if I have question/ concerns she will do her best to answer        
them.
4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your other logs and call it the independent component 2 log.

Independent Component 1

 

( Just some of the work I did for my 30 hours work which included, sorting beanie babies which were donated to house of Ruth, and these past couple of months my mentor was busy therefore she usually leaves work for me to do.). The work she leaves me to do is usually makes a lot of copies and manuals for new volunteers. It helps me understand my topic even more because a lot of the things she makes me do is about DV and I would always read new things that i didn't know before or I could have more ideas of what i could do for my future presentations. I would also talk to Marina about my ideas so I would know if i am in the right direction so i don't have any inaccurate data/info.

• LITERAL
  (a) Statement saying: “I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”   
• I , Marilyn Sambo, afirm that i completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work .
• (b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component   
• Domestic violence opposing viewpoints by David M. Haugens 
• (c) Provide a digital spreadsheet (aka log of the 30 hours).   Post it next to your mentorship log.
• (d) Explanation of what you completed.     
• INTERPRETIVE 
  Defend your work and explain how the significant parts of your component and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.    
• Mostly for my mentor ship for my 30 hours of work I did basic office work such as copy alot of packets, stick paper to candy, help her with manuals, and etc. Also Other than that I help her get prepared for her events such as helping her fill her bags with things she needs in order to go to the events  
• 
  
• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.  
• Without component 1, I would not have a deeper understanding of my topic and my foundation. I went into my topic with knowing only the bare basic of domestic violence. When starting off with independent component 1 my mentor started to give me books and videos to watch then after i was done she would make my write a report or we will talk about what happened and how it all ties into domestic violence. this helped me understand ,my topic better because not only did i want to learn more but it taught me a lot of data and statistics that i haven't known before. Also Marina was very helpful because she answered any questions I had and helped me with any concern or questions i had to the best of her abilities. The events that i attended also helped ,me understand my foundation even better all of the events had information and victims stories was inspirational and informative. Lastly all the office work and little things that I did at house of Ruth was very informative and in the end helped me understand my foundation. For example, Marina is always telling me to print out packets for her, and i would sit in the copy room and take read the packets some of the packets were about teen dating violence, domestic violence 101 and etc.... In the end i would tell Marina if i could keep them to help me with my foundation.
