1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For my 30 hours, I plan on serving more volunteer hours. This includes, but is not limited to, reading to the children, helping them with activities, gathering and cleaning up materials, interacting with the children during playtime, and generally being involved and having a presence in the classroom.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
To show that I have done my 30 hours of work, I plan to keep a log of my hours. This log will be similar to my senior project hours log. It will show what day I volunteered, how many hours I volunteered, and what made up my experience that day. I would have liked to show pictures of myself helping out in the classroom, but for confidentiality and liability reasons, I am not allowed to do so. So I will just be documenting about what I did throughout the day.
3. Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
More mentorship hours will help me explore my topic more in depth because I'll be completing some of the teacher's duties, therefore getting a feel for what it's like to teach preschool. Having such a constant presence will hopefully help me think of more possible research to look for and help me finally decide on an essential question.
4. Update your Senior Project Hours log.
Done! There's basically nothing there though because I am still trying to find a new mentor that is closer to where I live :( I'm hoping to volunteer at the children's center at CalPoly but the only problem is that I have to be 18. I plan on speaking to someone there this week about working a way around that rule. There is also another center a few blocks away from my home and I plan on visiting tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well and I can soon add more hours to my log!
ok, but make sure you keep good records to keep these hours seperate of your mentor hours.
