• INTERPRETIVE

 In my creation and completion of this independent component, I got a taste of what the profession I want to pursue is really like. In addition to this, It also gave me more of an insight as how the first answer to my essential question is applied in real life situations and it also gave me a second answer. The whole process of drafting a contract from start to finish can take up to a week. In this modified version, I went through the motions it would usually take to write a deal such as this one. I conferred with my client, drafted and my initial offer. I made the corrections upon receiving a feedback from my mentor. The evidence this independent component was completed with the required 30 hours will be turned in with the final product, it is essentially different versions of the document  that show it under construction and the many revisions  that needed to be made. 

Here is some photo graphic evidence that I continuously worked on my component and completed it 
 



 

• APPLIED 

 The component helped me understand the foundation of my topic better by allowing me to see how some of my research and my first answer are used everyday in this field. While creating this document, my mentor was constantly reminding me of my first answer, which is to know a clients interests, and take the necessary steps as if this were for an actual client and work that into the document. In addition, the component helped me understand that there are certain building blocks one  must have in order to be able to draft a well written document. These building blocks as outlined in my research and by my mentor as well include: avoiding being repetitive and verbose, keep the point clear and concise , and the structure of the document as it pertains to the type of deal. These building blocks have even lead me to and idea of what my next answer to my essential question will be.
