Progress

So, I admit that unfortunately I've neglected my graduation project some. It's not that I haven't been working on it, but the fact that I haven't been working on it as much as I could have. This December break I've spend time to use TIME Magazines (print source) to do even more research since they are talking about the economy recovering and the issues that come with it. They have actually given me a lot of new and helpful information in order to help me complete my notes.

Also, as I've been doing my notes, I've noticed that some of my questions weren't the best, but that there are better ones to ask and use. I've changed and added some with my research.

I should have them done. soon if not today once I put in all my notes into the document and cite everything.

My action plan has been done and I have the pre and post surveys from my action plan with testimony of what students learned and what I provided to them.
