Introduction	Hello my name is Cat Clauss and I am doing my Senior project on using art as a tool to teach in schools to middle schoolers. So I will be talking about one of the base components of my project Middle Schooler's mostly 6th graders, how they learn and does does it need to be improved.	1min	1: Susan Hodapp (a teacher at Los Palmas Middle school, and the person from my first interview) -and my own personal experience Visuals Middle school Pic
Verification	-What was your favorite and least favorite memory about middle school?why? -What were some things that made learning hard for you? (example, drama, or certain teaching techniques.) Middle school can be stressful because during that time students are transitioning from the elementary school way of learning to the high school.	2min(s)

Body

L- Less time to learn, More drama (because of puberty) to distract a student from the lesson I- The most important source for this was from my first interview with miss Susan Hodapp, She helped explain the difficulties a middle school experiences A- Because Middle school students have so much going on around them and changing I makes it harder for them to understand what they need to learn.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

CONTENT:

1. Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
   For my Independent Study Component I will be putting together a web site, or blog for teachers to look at that has Ideas on how to use Art Integration (or Art in Education) in their classrooms.

2. Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.
   I think that creating this web site, or blog will meet the 30 hours work requirement because it would be something that I must maintain in order to help other teachers. It also gives me a chance to review what my mentor has taught me and share it with others. I might also be able to get comments and advise from other teachers in different areas.

3. How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?
   My working EQ at the moment is “What is the best way to use art as a teaching tool in middle schools?” So my Independent Study component relates to my working EQ because the web site or blog will be taking what I learn about using art as a teaching tool and sharing it with others.
