1) I plan on either making different stations in the room for each of my answers. Or creating the room as a play room, for play therapy, since I think that might be my best answer. Another way that I can decorate the room is dark and gloomy representing the grief that an abused child feels.
2) For my first answer, I plan on having the other students play out different scenarios for their feelings at the moment. For my second answer, I plan on grouping the other students into little groups and having them talk about something that they all have in common. Basically, give them an example of what the type of treatment feels like or is.

Answer 2
EQ: What is the best way to psychologically treat an abused child?
In order to treat an abused child in the best way possible, you must use Group Therapy.
Evidence:
Sources 25 and 29 both talk about how effective group therapy is with children. Sources 31 and 34 talk about what makes Group Therapy different than anything else.

The Product
So far, I feel as though my senior project has given me insight of other people's lives. It has opened up my eyes to the fact that life isn't all good things, but bad things as well. I am now more sympathetic to other people, especially towards children because in my research I have learned one of the symptoms that are seen in abused children is that they tend to have trouble creating relationships with other people. In my service learning and in different volunteering that I have done, I have interacted with many kids. These kids are all different, some were sweet, others were smart, some were funny, and others were just too quiet to know anything about them. When it came down to those kids I felt the need to give a little more attention to them because I felt as though they needed it. People never know what is going on in another person's life, they usually judge or do things to make their life impossible. I have learned to not be so much like this and be more understanding of other people's lives and experiences.

Independent Component 2 Approval
1. This independent component I plan on doing something that helps me work hands on with the types of therapy. I am still not sure exactly what to do, but I would like to work with some kids, or have therapy myself and go to my own therapy sessions and have the therapist use the different types of treatments on me.
2. I would go several times to treatments and count the time that I was in a therapy session. I would make sure that they add up to 30 hours.
3. In my EQ, I have to answer with different types of treatment. "What is the best way to treat an abused child?" Even though I haven't been abused, I think that I have been through other things and going to therapy and experiencing treatments first hand would give me a better understanding of the different types of treatment.

Independent Component 1
Literal:
a) I, Anahi Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) I worked in the same place that I am doing my service learning, doing the same things that I do for service learning.
Interpretive:
I would do paperwork, filing client paperwork, inputing things on the computer, fixing the Play Therapy room (everything has a specific place), and once in a while i would help them clean the office.
Applied:
I worked at a counseling center, there they have different types of therapies that they do and, some of the counselors would talk to me about the types of therapy that they use and the ones that they think are best for them.
