Independent Component 2: What am I doing?

1) What are you doing?

For Independent Component 2, my independent component will focus more on independent research and writing for hardtoast as opposed to watching X-Play most of the time. Also, since 16.5 hours are carrying over from the first independent task, it will give me more of a chance to write more articles and do more research rather than watching TV. However, I will still be watching X-Play as it gives me some tips and tricks on what to focus on when I write.

2) How will I verify?

For the writing I do on hardtoast, I will print out the articles that I write to show as evidence. For the independent research, I will do a summary on what I read and what I would include from that reading if I was to write about it. And for X-Play, I will do another log that will have to be signed by my parent(s).

3) How does it relate to answering my EQ?

Watching X-Play relates to answering my EQ by giving me an insight on how to critique games, as in what to focus on and what the general public is interested in wanting to learn about. In doing independent research, it will help me get a better understanding of what real game journalists have to do, which is follow the game industry and all that stuff to get content to write on. Lastly, writing for hardtoast will help develop my writing techniques as well as give me some critique as to what I should and shouldn't change about my writing style.
