This week, I kept to my schedule and completed all the tasks I set out to finish. I gathered all the information I needed for Entries Two, Three, and Four. I went to the special education file cabinet at our school and looked up the information I needed on the three students I will be using for my case studies. I spoke with the special education teacher who is working with those students now, and she filled in the gaps not covered in the records. My next step will be to decide which student fits the criteria for each entry. Once that decision is made I will begin writing entry number two.

I also arranged with our school librarian, who will be videotaping for me, for a time to set up the tripod so the children will be accustomed to the camera by the time I am ready to begin taping for real. Toward the end of the week, I'll create a list of the tasks I need to complete next week.
