1. In my presentation I was most proud of the props I brought to the lesson, and how much I knew about them. It felt good to be knowledgeable about my mentorship.
2. I would give myself an AP, because while I wasn't organized very well, I did know what I was talking about. I understood my EQ and answer. and I felt the class was engaged in my lesson. And I did have my EQ shown, and explained my answer to it using evidence from my mentorship to do so.
3. I felt that my equipment really worked for my lesson 2. I think that's what got the class engaged into my lesson. To be able to interact with the techonlogy used today and long ago.
4. If I had to be able to go back and redo the lesson, I would add more slides to the presentation. And I would also give the class more technology to interact with during the activity.
5. For my answer #2, I would say it would have to be to allow for the LASD to expand their reach beyond and allow them to act throughout Southern California.

Blog 10: EQ
I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ. In it, a working EQ must meet the following requirements, it should be broad enough to allow for multiple answers and the ability for those answers to be backed up with reasonable evidence. The EQ must however must not be some vague that any answer would work for it. An EQ must make sense in that it's worded so that anyone can take a stance on it.
2.
2a. 2a does make sense as an essential question as it allows for multiple answers but each answer does focus on the same topic. It keeps itself specific enough to focus on one point, but allows for multiple answers.
2b. 2b I feel does meet some of the requirements for being a EQ but I feel it's to specific. it feels like the answer could just be said very close-ended.
2c. 2c doesn't look like it meets the requirements for being an EQ, it doesn't really allow for a strong research point. the EQ could be answered by asking customers.
2d. 2d seems a bit short at first, but it does allow for a strong research base, as multiple documents do exist on the topic and the research could lead to multiple answers. the EQ is worded correctly and makes sense.
3. "How could an investigator best plant recording devices discreetly, while still following the laws they are bound by?"

December Post
For my extra post I want to talk about the NATIA conventions my mentor goes to every now and again. these conventions are hosted across the United States and last about 1 week. last year NATIA hosted at San Diego, so, after talking with my mentor, I took a train to San Diego during the last few days of the convention. While there my mentor introduced me to some presenters of the convention, and gave a lesson on camera lenses and care.
Blog 11: Holiday Project Update
1. Over break, My mentor spent time talking to me about the laws that they are bound by and the consequences in breaking these laws, as earlier that month a worker was put under investigation for possibly breaking the law. It was discovered that he was illegally planting audio recorders, and abusing overtime.
2. I learned that the job is a minefield where you need to be sure of every step you take, and be sure it follows the law, or else you can be terminated from the workplace. I also learned some of the rules shouldn't be there and serve only to hinder the investigations that take place.
3. I would rather talk to the creators of the laws that my mentor has to follow, I want to understand their reasoning for why they created these laws and who exactly do they protect. Because I feel that some of their laws don't help the public, or the officers and only act as an obstacle.

Blog 12: 10 Mentorship hours
For my mentorship I am working under Detective Adam Cordova at his place of employment for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. My contact (what i would assume to be Mentor) is Detective Adam Cordova. During most of my mentorship, I am close by with my mentor as I assist him in recordings, electronic building, and small lessons that go deeper into the current topic.
