Revision and needs assessment

So, this week was about revision of my topic paper.  I had to do a lot of reading to find articles that will be useful to substantiate my research on pronunciation enhancement in my Spanish 7 cycle classes.  I found some that will be useful but must have spent about 8 hours just looking through a lot of articles! I am glad that we did that assignment in class to learn about article evaluation, that was really helpful as I was going through all of my readings this week.

So I have submitted a revision, and also a needs assessment (twice) since my first one didn't work out right, I hope the second one is better but, I'm not sure yet.  I am greatly helped by Amy's comments in the topic paper....They were quite helpful in creating my revision. I hope that it is better now!!!!

I am happy that I knew what topic I wanted to pursue since last year, that was really helpful in knowing some background information and already having some data collection from previous classes and online survey data from my edmodo Spanish teacher share learning network.  Now to keep moving forward. 

I hope I am in the right direction!!! I am a little nervous!

So I have finished the rough or first draft of my opening proposal.  I think I have a good grasp of the topic that I am choosing but I am sure that Amy will guide me if I am too big or off track! I think I spent about 2 hours writing the two pages, luckily I did this topic for IDD and had already had some information for my Spanish pronunciation topic.  I am not altogether sure that I did the right thing with my definitions section but, luckily it is a rough draft and I will have the opportunity to make it solid!

Hold on to your hats folks.....It's research time!
