It's been one year since I last updated this blog, so I thought I'd, y'know, update this blog. My "Action Research" project (still hate that term, "Action Research") for my master's revolves around two ninth grade students (one stronger, one struggling) working together to adapt reading selections from the eleventh grade literature textbook. They are creating comic book adaptations of the works using Comic Life software. Above is a pic of a table I made to transcribe and code 10 minutes of discussion from one of the students' work sessions. I have three of five chapters drafted. I am currently working on the fourth chapter (hence the transcribing and coding). I need to have my advisor sign off on my chapters by July 17 so I can present on July 31. I'd like to be done by the last Friday in June, however.
