Action Research Project - Week 3
I can see, in the time it has taken to write this plan, just how much it will change over its time as a research project. I am also sure there  are thinks left out of this plan, which makes it great that it is "allowed" to change.  I do feel much better about the entire plan after "putting it on paper" so to speak.  I like that there is actual direction to follow instead of just 100 ideas floating around in my head.

OK, let me know what you think....
