LET THE RESEARCH BEGIN
I have found my diamonds in a ruff. I have obtained 5 willing Pre-AP students to help me with my action research. Surprisingly, these individuals are labeled as Gifted and Talented (GT Students). Their parents are on board as well, by allowing their child to participate. I went through a two week interview process and I had approximately 13 students that wanted to be apart of this research.
I have also come across 5 struggling students that have trouble with writing and expressing themselves in a classroom environment. These are not troubled kids they all actually have accommodations and or modifications. All but one parent is extremely hard to work with, but I have suggested to the parent that this research is only going to benefit their child.
We will have a mixer coming soon, either in my classroom or in the school theater. Since their is 32 days left of school, 7 weeks going on 6 and 5 Mondays left, I want the peer tutor to focus on helping them with analyzing a literary piece, expository piece and a poem. I will provide the assignments for them. In class we are going to begin Othello. Both the peer tutor and struggling student will get notes on William Shakespeare and Othello.
