(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component?
For my independent component I actually already completed my 30 hours of work. My mentorship took place at Ontario High School during the play they were doing for "Back To the 80s" with Mr. Hansen. During my time while mentoring, I was able to complete a total of 174 hours and 30 minutes of mentorship while helping out with their tech crew during the play. I got to participate in the whole process of putting on a play and what Theatre Technicians do before and during a play's production.
(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

A recent piece of research that I have reviewed were actually a few blurbs done by some people who are involved in Theatre. These research pieces actually helped me come up with a better science fair project. The first blurb that started me to help me find my possible science fair project for my senior project was this one: http://www.mookychick.co.uk/how-to/alternative-student-jobs/theatre-technician-jobs.php and then I ran into another one (http://tomvanderwell.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/10-ways-being-a-theatre-major-prepared-me-for-success/) which eventually led me to a theatre tech forum called controlbooth.com where someone asked a question about whether or not it was worth getting a major in Theatre Technology in college if you want to go into this career in the future. This actually helped me come up with my possible hypothesis and experiment of finding out whether having a major in Theatre Technology will help you find a job in this industry in the future.
(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.

Below are pictures of all the days I went to my mentorship at Ontario High School and got to help out. The highlighted parts are the days that I went and the crossed out ones are the day I was unable to help. The bottom is a picture of the pamplet that included all of the credit to people who helped out during the play, and at the very bottom there are also pictures of some snapshots I was able to take real quick during rehearsals while we were waiting for our queue to switch scenes.
