Independent Study 2

 Literal: I, Jacqueline Salas, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. I created a media kit that can be introduced to other schools. In my media kit I am trying to persuade schools to implement a peer mediation program. I am trying to get schools interested by explaining what peer mediation is and its benefits. My media kit includes a cover sheet, pitch letter, peer mediation explanation sheet, fact sheet, benefit sheet, about the program, bibliography and pamphlet.  

Interpretive: My media kit demonstrates 30 hours of work because I spent an hour each day revising every sheet to create an effective media kit. My media kit is significant to my project because it is possible that my media kit will persuade schools to implement a program at their school. I would be pleased if this happened because that would mean that information I presented was worth y enough to be taken into consideration. All the research I have done helped me put together this media kit because without the knowledge I wouldn’t have been able to produce the media kit.

Applied: This media kit helped me answer my essential question because when creating the media kit I had to keep in mind that all the information that I was writing had be based off of  factors that make a peer mediation program successful. For example when I was talking about how a program can be successful, I wrote about how it is important to have diversity in the program and why. I had to provide evidence for everything that I stated which overall helped me answer my essential question.
