Blog 5 Project Reflection and Working EQ

Content:  

So far, you have: completed your summer mentorship, started doing some research, maybe completed the interview and hopefully found a mentor.

Using what you have done so far, answer the following 5 questions (be specific and use examples).

The Pentagon:
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?

I have been able to play much basketball, which is something I enjoy a lot, in the time since I have started the project. I was able to find many people to interview and people who are very knowledgeable in my topic through playing basketball at Southlands.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

My first interview had helped me improve my understanding in my topic by showing more resources that I can use to help me find more research. Coach Mike, my first interviewee, told me many about many people that are also knowledgeable in the story of basketball as well add other resources such as books and videos.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

The things that have worked so are finding a mentor and doing the research checks. They have given more knowledge about my topic.

(4) What hasn't worked so far? 

The things that haven't worked so far are trying to keep everything on task and trying to do all the assignments on time.

(5) Finding Value: 
What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)
What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.

EQ: What is the best way to coach a high school basketball team?

For mentorship, I plan to play for the basketball team at Southlands and try to absorb all the things that my mentor, Coach Will, will teach me when I am on the team and see the way that he coaches the team.
