My work day

For my independent component I am doing extra mentorship and here is what I did today. I usually clean all the rabbits cages. I change the dirty water to fresh water. I put extra hay on their litter box so they can munch on that.

Also in the picture above  you can see the burrow when the bunnies usually spend their day. From what I have observed is that they jump, they usually sleep or try to have fun while playing with they roommate, what they need is a home and a bigger cage to feel free and loved, to played. 

 

 

This picture  was me trying to clean the bunny cage but he this bunny thought I was playing with him. When I clean other rabbits cage, some will let me clean but some don't like it, so I sometimes see how they behave and how they changed there reaction. Some bunnies would attack the broom or some would play or some would try to eat the broom.

 



Merry X-mas

December what a great month it was. As usually I helped out, in Bunny Bunch not much as, I wanted to because since there are holidays, the days I wanted to help out were closed. I have really looking forward to help during my winter break but the bunny bunch were out for holidays. I will start helping out till next year he he.

Not only are bunnies waiting to find a home but also the guinea pigs and chinchillas at the Bunny Bunch. Also think of other animals that want to be loved just like the doggies, cats, birds etc.

 

 About five to ten bunnies were adopted in this month. Hurray to them. But there are others also waiting, just keep that in mind.

 The Bunny Bunch needs donation from us. To give a little for these adorable animals.

 

December is the month of joy, cheers, happiness, love and many more things. Many bunnies, guinea pigs and chinchillas are waiting to find a wonderful home.

Look at the cute bunnies ready to celebrate Christmas with a good family to love them and care for them. There Christmas wish is to be adopted, well have a family XD.

 

EQ

 Content

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

Essential Question
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question.  The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic.  An essential question must:

• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
•  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)

2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria.
• Tell why it does or why it doesn't

 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
This EQ does meet the rule of three because it isn't a yes and no questions, I believe that it will have enough and more research on weight loss.
  b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
It sounds good but it does not meet rule of three criteria because I believe the question needs to be specific even more.
  c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
This does not meet the criteria  because it is mostly an opinion, and also this essential question wont have many research.
  d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
This EQ does meet the rule of three because there can be many information on this topic.
 3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.

• What is the most important reason to get people to switch to a No Kill Rescue shelter and to be well informed of a Traditional Animal shelter?

Meet the baby Guinea Pigs

Baby Piggy's

 

 

This white and gray guinea pig was born today. The mommy gave birth to two guinea pigs.

I also found out that another guinea pig had two piggy's and they are about two weeks old.

 

This one of the baby guinea pig.( Two weeks old)

Today was a good day to do mentorship because I was their when the babies where born. And also I learned that when they are born they tend to be active like they have there eyes wide open and start to run  really fast because they hide from predators.

Bunny Bunch Expo!

The Bunny Bunch Expo is  fundraising for the bunnies. Also has different kinds of booths to help out these lovable animals.

 

This is a flyer of the Bunny Expo has different kinds of information on what booths there were.

This was the entrance of the booths or the expo. 

These are guinea pigs also part of the Bunny Expo and like the piggy's and the bunnies they had a little note saying feed me. And by donating money the people would feed them veggies. 

 This was the grooming spa. I was in charge of this booth and the photo contest. I groom about 30 loveable bunnies.

 This a picture the lady is a vet, she was talking to the people how its important to care for their animals. An interested thing is that bunnies vet is called an exotic vet.

It was a wonderful day to help out in this event. :)

Research and Working EQ

Content:

1.  What is your working EQ?

What is the most important reason to switch to a NO Kill Rescue than a traditional shelter?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.  Examples:

 

EQ: What is the most important reason to switch to a NO Kill Rescue than a traditional shelter?

• take abandoned animals
• its a better environment
• have care for any type of animals
• adoption there very carefully if the animal has a good home
• rescues animals from High Kill / Kill shelters

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

 

Maddie's  Fund is an important source that helped understand my senior topic but also gave me an idea on what my answers should be. Also another source that helped even more was my second interview which was Joanne, she helped me understand about the animals that we can't save all animals.
 
4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
 
My mentor is Joanne, I volunteer at Bunny Bunch. What I do at Bunny Bunch is clean the cages, change the water, give veggies but I also observed animal behavior, I believe what I am doing relates to my EQ because everything that a animal does, matters and also how different animal act.

 

Independent Component 1 Approval

Content:

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

 

For my 30 hours, I plan to keep doing hours at Bunny Bunch. For the 30 hours I thinking to work close with my mentor on how she runs Bunny Bunch  but  I am not entirely sure about this, I still need to talk to my mentor Joanne, to see if there is something meaningful that can do for Bunny Bunch that will take 30 hours of work.

 

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

 

I love taking pictures of anything that is interesting, cute and this is how I plan to show evidence of my 30 hours, but also take short videos, and  I was thinking to do a voice recording of any important questions that I come up with.

 

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

 

Since I plan on doing an extra 30 hours at Bunny Bunch, this will help me explore more my topic which is " No Kill Rescue Shelter". I will be learning new things like care for the small mammals, where or how do animals get to Bunny Bunch, or see how my mentor runs Bunny Bunch. Also see animal behavior and how they improve and when they are ready to be adopted.
