Research Template

All I can say is WOW, what a week.  My wife walks in while I am thinking of all the things that are due and how overwhelmed I feel and she says WTF? (Why the face?) (modern family season 1 episode 1) hope I cited that correctly.  Anyway it has been a long week but it is winding down. Here is my research template that I  think I did right.  It is a blue print or a guide so to say, so is there really a wrong way to do it? Much like my weekly lesson plans, the template is there as a guide for me or anyone who wants to know what I am doing and what materials are needed to carry out that lesson. for those that are interested I will be blogging (ha ha I like that word) some of the actual activities that I will doing with my classes to carry out my research.
