Revised Action Research Plan- Week 4

I want to thank the people that comment on my blog this week.  The comments were very helpful, I was able to make some changes on my action research plan. I appreciate all your comments! I wish I was able to comment on other people's blog but for some reason it does not let me. I type the comment and then I hit publish and it disappears. If anyone knows what I can do to fix that problem, please let me know. Here is my revised action research plan. Please feel free to comment on it and offer any suggestions. Thank you!
