1) For my first independent component I plan on going deaf for a week. This means that I will be wearing earplugs (most likely wax ones) so as to block out sound and I will not be talking. For this week I would not be able to hear anything that goes on in my classes, I would have to stick to reading lips and trying to understand what it going on around me.
2) How I will meet the 30 hour requirement is I will be deaf for about 4 1/2 - 6 hours a day for 5 days. This will be witnessed by my teachers, classmates, and the rest of the school. Also at the end I will make a video showing what the best ways for a teacher to teach would be, if they were to ever have a deaf student. So in this I will have the time it takes me to actually record the video, and the time it will take me to edit the video.
3) My EQ revolves around working with the Deaf and/or hearing impaired. By doing this I will be able to see exactly what it is the people I am assisting go through. I will end up with better knowledge of their day to day life which would ultimately help me when I work with them.

Defining the Essential Question
1. What is the most important part of being a successful interpreter?
2. Successful - accepted in the Deaf community, knows the language very well.
Interpreter - Sign language interpreter.
3. Some of my possible answers to my EQ are; The person is able to adapt quickly to home sign. Also the person immerses themselves in the culture.
4. My most important source so far has been my interview with Mr. Brad Munson. Him and his wife adopted a deaf daughter so he had first hand experience with having to be a part of the Deaf community. He told me how important it was that people understand how things work in the community. He also told me that the Deaf community is a very close community so you really need to know how to fit in.
