We report the analysis of exclusive single $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ electroproduction in the resonance region at Jefferson Lab in the $Q^2$ range 2 to 6 $GeV^2/c^2$. A longitudinally polarized $5.75$ $GeV$ electron beam was incident on a 5 cm long liquid Hydrogen target. The CLAS spectrometer at Jefferson Lab was used to detect the final state particles. The goal of this analysis is to extract $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ c.m. differential cross sections over the entire $4\pi$ $c.m.$ solid angle, up to $W=2$ GeV, and their beam spin asymmetries.
