    Hi Robin. I'm very interested in learning what you find out in your research. I believe that it can be very useful to others. I am worried that your project may not be long enough though. You might consider extending your timeline dates. Everything else seems great. Good luck.

      Thanks, I will extend my timelines and I will be talking with my site supervisor because I thought the same thing, it wasn't long enough. Thanks for the advice.

    Hey Robin. I like your action plan. Very informative and easy to manage. I think your data you will receive will be very beneficial. With this plan I see that you are going to have to get very creative with your results you receive. I'd be really interested in seeing what comes about with your plan. Good Luck. I would also agree with William about being a little more flexible with your dates. I would also include maybe using a survey of some sorts to see what data you could get. Just a thought. :)

      Hey James,
      I will be more flexible in my dates and use some type of survey with my teachers and TIS. Thanks

    Robin, I think this is a good topic that many of us will benefit from. My only advice would be to extend your project or list more activities. Most action research plans that are being posted have followed the 8 steps from the Harris text.

    **Just trying to give you something to write about for the week 4 assignment. : )
