Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals
1. Pediatric Oncology
2. An Effective Learner seeks knowledge to better themselves in academics and to put that knowledge to use in real life. To portray my improvement in becoming and Effective Learner I will put my full effort into making my senior project and model assembly a success. To make both a success I will use my creativity to better my project. For example last year on our last trades how I brought in red and orange jello in a cup with crushed Oreos, green whipped cream, and a gummy worm to represent our energy source which came from the earth; our group passed these out to all who listened to our presentation.
An Effective Communicator is comprehensive, listens and adds to a group the ought conversation. To better improve and become an Effective Communicator I will be more involved in the committees available. By being a part of a committee I will better my communication skills and collaborate with others to achieve the overall goal of the committee.
An Effective User of Technology tries to improve their knowledge of the technology in our society today. To improve my skills with technology I will work on improving my typing skills and hopefully achieve the ability to type without looking at the keyboard. I will be able to type more words in a minute, this will help me do my projects and homework faster.
An Effective I-Poly Citizen is responsible in being a part of the I-Poly community meaning participating in events and giving back. To become and Effective I-Poly Citizen I will do my best to get to school on time and work closer to completing my community service hours. By doing these two things I will get closer to becoming an Effective I-Poly Citizen.

2013 2-Hour Presentation Reflections
1. The presentaions I viewed were:
Domestic Violence- Taryn C.
Diesease Prevention- Jazmin M.
Singing Professionally- Jamilex R.
Producing Talk Radio- Alfonse C.
Animation Voiceovers- Deanna P.
Recreation Centers- Isaiah C.
Alternative Vehicle Competition- Jesse M.

2. I don't have many questions about the Senior Project but I was wondering by what time we must choose our topic?
3. The Essential Question and the three answers are the most important part to me because the presentation revolves around answering the EQ and the three answers that make up the final answer help give people more perspective then just giving one answer from the start.
4. I am not really sure on what I want to do yet, but I am thinking of going into the medical field maybe cancer. I also was considering doing pastry or gourmet cooking or homicide, there are so many options! I haven't decided.

Summer Mentorship Component
1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Anh5c7kRP5cpdHRDNnFsNzh5eW4zQXV5YXRWVGR0VXc&usp=drive_web
2. Fullerton College/CDES Department Lab School (714) 992-7070
3. What training do you have to go through to be a preschool teacher? Is there a certain degree that has to be obtained? By observing, I noticed that teachers must learn to talk to students in a certain positive way, is this true? What skills best suit someone looking to work with kids other than to be patient?
4. Wanting to work with kids, young kids, I learned that you must be patient, sensitive and kind with kids. Many times I say teachers explain to the students why they shouldn't fight or do other things that weren't right; giving them full explanations. I remember I had to explain to a student, Giovanni, why the word 'gay' was bad to say. I thought being a part of a day care would be different I didn't expect there to be a certain guide to being a teacher. Not once did I hear any of the teachers scream or about to the students, because you can't. Kids at a young age are not meant to be punished for their actions or scolded they are supposed to be explained why what they did was wrong. Many times they will not get it right away but after explaining to them consistently they begin to understand and learn. Enrique, a student that has autism, would be physical with students and his helper would tell him, "Enrique we do not push our friends." Or in other cases we have to be supportive and kind, Enrique's helper would tell him, "Enrique thank you for using your helping hands" or "Enrique good job using your fork." Those kinda of supportive kind words help students remember what they are doing is right. Doing this summer mentorship has helped me alot in learning about working with kids and the certain needs they must be provided with.
5. Learning all the things from my summer mentorship helped me come across a topic by widening my range of seeking one. I don't have to restrict myself to things that have to do with careers but also other things such as the right way to teach a preschool student the fundamentals and morals of life.
