*******Assignment: Reflection #4
Option 1: Let your peers know what your initial findings are. What patterns are you seeing in your data? What do you suspect the final outcome may be? What are you learning about the project you designed because of your initial findings?
Option 2: What are your initial reactions/understandings/reflections on the action research you have read? How will it guide you in the future?
Option 3: What patterns did you see in the provided data? What additional actions could have been taken based on the provided data? What have you learned from analyzing the data?
**********Second assignment feedback from the teacher
Your intro is not super intriguing. It is very sterile and seems to use a lot of academic words. The purpose of the intro is to help your reader connect to your situation and buy into what you learned. Make sure the headings are the same as the template – they don’t need to be separated. From your purpose, I am still very concerned that this is not action research. Your lit review has accurate information about concerning situations for low-SES students; however, you don’t have anything to support whatever the action is you are putting into play with your students. Your methodology, currently, does not tell me what you are actually doing. It essentially says “We are having hamburgers because we are having hamburgers.” I have no idea what you are doing with the students you serve. You are trying to use far too many big words and have completely lost the meaning of what it is you are doing. Additionally, you have not yet finished gathering data so you can’t possibly have a conclusion for your paper. This is not a traditional research paper. You MUST be doing something with your students to address the question you decided on. You have a lot of work to do to clean this up and make it so that it means something. You also need to make serious adjustments so that it is clear what you are doing with the students you serve. Make all adjustments by the time you turn in your final paper.
