Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?

My working essential question is "What is the most effective way to promote education to socioeconomically disadvantaged teenagers in Los Angeles?" What a mouthful!

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

EQ: What is the most effective way to promote education to socioeconomically disadvantaged teenagers in Los Angeles?

• To provide educational assistance in the form of entertaining, satirical, and thoughtful graphic media.

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

The most important source I have used so far is an article by Belinda Zimmerman, entitled "The Fluency Development Lesson Gets Graphic." It addresses the importance of another medium within schools - One which acts as an intermediary between societal and educational values.

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 Mr. David Bower, a local stock broker. He has had several years of training outside of his current position, in business organization and administration. This is relevant because I plan to compose a form of graphic media, and the first topic I am going to tackle is Personal Finance, which he happens to be an expert in.
