1A) I, Victoria Gonzalez, affirm that I have cocompleted my Independent Component 1 which represents 10hrs.
B) one of my main sources in classroom management and how to guide a class through a community was Collegeboard's 'AP Music Theory' 2014 edition.
C) hours updated
2. Interpretive
On top of observing my mentor Dr. Janine Riveire in class, I also participated in the class. This helped answer my EQ because I got the college class experience vs a common high school experience.
3. Applied
Like I said, it shows where money in California is going. High school students are in a music class with 1,200 students per teacher, whereas in a college class its about 15 students per teacher.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I am most proud of how much the crowd reacted to my activity. I chose something I thought they could connect to and would appreciate, and in the end they were interested in anything they could not figure out on their own in the activity. This showed me I could keep the class interacted, and that's what I wanted. I think that's what anyone wants when they're presenting.
2a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
I would give myself a P+ because I did what was required but not much more. I got a lot of commendations on my content, a lot of classmates called it content-rich and easy to follow. Also, my activity really helped to answer my EQ in collaboration with my EQ answer.
2b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I had sources (MLA), an EQ and Best Answer. I applied my answer to three aspects of music education, and how my EQ answer could help improve those 3 aspects. My activity also helped support my EQ and EQ answer.
(Activity: Students in six groups were either a part of Group 1 or Group 2. Each group had to fill in the missing lyrics, guess the artist and song name, then try to remember the lyrics to either Scooby Doo or Spongebob Squarepants , depending on what group you were in (group 1 or 2). The only difference was, Group 1 was allowed to use their phones and any other materials in the class , Whereas Group 2 was limited to asking the people at their table for help.)
This helped answer my EQ with my EQ answer which was : Making the education of music easily accessible though out a community.
This helped answer my EQ because in order to be able to complete a task, you need resources, and group 2 had little to no resources but themselves.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
The layout and flow. Also my activity.
4.What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
Brought props and played soft classical music in the
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
Promoting AND Performing for the community.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update
1. What did you do over break for your senior project?
I stopped playing violin consistently for 2 years and over break, I taught myself how to play everything I forgot how to do. I remembered about 30 minute warm-ups, hour of learning and an additional 30 minutes after that to review what I learned. I also got an electric violin for Christmas which was awesome.
2. What was the most important thing you learned form what you did, and why?
The most important thing I learned was that everyone has different ways of progressing, especially when you are doing it on your own time. This really connects with my EQ directly because I want people to be able to do what they love and balance it with their work life as well, without one of them negatively impacting the other.
3. If you were to make a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would want to talk to someone with a high-up position in the education system. I'd want to know why most students don't have things like wood shop, home-ec, and drivers ed at school anymore. These are all other hobby alternatives, they have the same role as music in terms of extracurricular activities.

Blog 10: EQ
1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an E.Q.
2. a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
- This EQ does not meet the rule of three. It does not show depth about the subject especially because weight loss is a touchy subject. Does this weight loss plan apply to diabetics, senior citizens, or teens? On the other hand, the wording is easy to read and I thought the word healthy showed some understanding of their subject because unhealthy weight loss plans do exist.
b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
- The wording is strange, it does not flow correctly. But the direction of the question is good. It has specific parameters to follow that allow a solid base.
c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
- The subject is clear; A hairdresser not a small business manager. The question allows for in-depth explanation about the subject. The wording also flows very professionally.
What this needs is a point to argue, I feel that the answer to this could be a list of instructions to go through with every customer instead of treating each one differently.
3. My EQ draft:
What is the most efficient way to impact a community positively through music education?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection
1. What are you most proud of from your Lesson 1 presentation and why?
I am most proud of the engagement and reaction from the crowd. It makes me feel like my topic is relevant and interesting. It also shows that I wasn't boring. I also like that people had fun during my activity. I wanted people to interact and work together to help answer my EQ.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on the Lesson 1 component?
I would give myself a P/ AE because technology was not required and I had a presentation.
I would lean more towards the P because the powerpoint was the only way O s
went above abd beyond.
3&4 What worked? What didn't ?
Hook activity or phrase i found was really helpful. It made every one engaged and interested on the subject/presenter.
What didn't work was the questions segment; I think we should say Recommendations/ Commedations instead. We could get pointers on how to make our project a little better.
