I'M DONNNNNEE

I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Portfolio put together, edited, reflective essay done, contents done, ect.

DONE DONE DONE!

Last blog ever...woooooooooooooooo

more progress stuff

I worked on the final paper some more - mostly put in the sources (after friday's discussion over how to do that), did some grammar and structure stuff, reworded some sentances. It's better, but it's still not there.

Hopefully peer editing on Monday will work - I have a few questions on paragraph tenses, and whether or not its okay to switch in the particular area...i have one in past and i just can't figure out how to put it into present....

progress 2

Last night, I did some extensive editing of the final paper. I changed the order of things, added some information, took away quite a bit more. I'm excited to bring it to peer editing on Friday; in particular I'd like to work on the introduction....that's the newest, and most difficult, section i've written.

I also edited my reflective essay - I changed it to comment more on the writing process. I felt as though it was easier to present evidence of my growth of that. I'm still discussing my growth as a person, but I've added something less abstract to supplement it. I think I present a pretty strong argument.

I also went through and pulled the blogs I'd need, pulled out the sections of drafts I need, gathered the proposal, presentation review, progress report, and made a table of contents for the final portfolio.

I also actually bought the folder today....so productive!

progress

I'm worried about my final paper - I've written the methods, data, discussion, and "looking forward" sections...this totals like 12 pages right now - eek.

I'm thinking of moving things around. Right now, I've included my observation of inclusive education in my data, but i dont really discuss inclusive education until looking forward, as a possible way to bring therapuetic riding into the classroom. I'm thinking of eliminating that data section, in order to simplify things and trim this down a bit. This way, I'll anaylze both environments, and then bring in inclusive education (both pros and cons) at the end as a possibility.

I have a confrence with Dvd today to discuss my paper, I think I'll ask him then.

research

I'm in the process now of reading through my scientific journal research - i've found some really good articles. I'm organizing all of my research into a typed outline, so that hopefully when I write the paper, it will flow easily and nicely.

That being said, since I'm taking so long to get the research really put together, I'll probably bring that in tomorrow, as well as my reflective essay. I won't have the final project written yet though.

confrence reflections

I just had my confrence....just a few thoughts:

My reflective essay seems to be right on track, so I'll probably put that aside for now and begin to work on my report.

I have a pretty clear idea of what the report is now, which is nice. It's basically a regular scientific journal style research paper - introduction, methods, data, conclusions. It doesn't sound too bad.

I think I'll go through the observations and pick just a few selected moments to include in my data (probably 3, so that I can describe, and later analyze them) in detail. The moment working with the boy in the classroom on the computer may be included, or maybe his spelling exercise. Or, I'll include the work with the kindergardeners, so i can easily discuss inclusive education. As far as Avalon, those observations run together in my head a bit more, so I'll have to review them before I reach any conclusions.

We'll see.

scary chem test

I have a scary scary scary chem test Wednesday that I'm frantically studying for, so this blog will pretty much be craptastic....

Wrote a rough rough copy of my rough draft, I dont know if I'm on the right track, but we'll see.

Planning to actually fight my way through the mountain of research that I have starting Wednesday afternoon (or Thursday).

Time to go back to studying - eek i'm so screwed!
