After reading my essay and student generated research plan and requirements I feel like I am on the right track to meet my 6-7 week goal but still need to to pick up the pace when writing my body paragraphs and also have a meeting with Mr. Sulzman to make sure I'm on the right track and have a good starting point.

Today my goal is to start on my first body paragraph.

I feel like I am on track to meet my goals, when writing my research plan, i didnt consider time it might take for me to brainstorm so that ended up taking a considerable amount of time.

I dont want to modify my research plan because it keeps me on track.

Support I may need is advice on my work, I feel as though I do a lot of talking and advising when partnered up and Id love some of that in return.

Today, Im going to finalize all of what I have and get the juices flowing for my 3rd..? maybe 4th paragraph

I'm a little behind I feel like, I wanted to be done with my second body paragraph by now but I'm not. I also can't find good sources for my second body paragraph because I keep thinking about a movie that I watched about the Amazon strike, but I can't find the movie so I'm kind of stuck. Today I want to find reliable sources that relate to my topic.

I feel like im on the right track its just i still need to finish the last paragraph and go more into detail/explain more in some parts to make it a little longer and more specific. I dont think i would modify my plan because i feel like me reading over my paragraphs and adding in more detail would fall into the 'read over para' sections. I dont feel like i need any support as of right now. Today my goal is to finish my conclusion and do my best to add more detail throughout the essay.

1) How do you feel reading your Researched Argument Essay with the context of your Research Plan/Requirements? Does it feel like you're on track to meet your goals? Why/why not?

2) Does it make you want to modify your Research Plan/Requirements, and if so how?

3) What specific support would you like from me and/or your fellow students in this final stretch?

4) Seeing your Research Project from this vantage point, what goal does it make you want to set for yourself today?

I feel like I am working as expected, but I think that the schedule I am running on is inconsistent, like I am not working on it most of the week, and instead of spreading it out. Despite that, I am satisfied with what I currently have for my research plan because I am on track to those expectations. A few check-ins with Dr. Sulzman will be good enough to support me on the way. I am looking to find quotes for my third body paragraph and make progress on it.

After reading over my research argument essay and along with my research plan/requirements, i do think that i am on the right track with the page length and along with that i do need to fix some things here and there throughout my essay such as adding more quotes and i will be working on that. No it doesn't make me want to change anything on my research plan/requirements. I feel like as of right now i don't think i need any support at the moment . My main goal for today is looking over my sources and getting good quotes to add to my essay to have it more supported.

I don't feel confident when reading my essay, considering the context of the requirements I set for myself. I don't think I'm on track to meet my goals because I'm significantly behind in writing my essay. Maybe I would modify it, but I think there is still enough time for me to catch up. I don't think I need specific support, I just need time to continue writing my essay. My goal for today is to finish my incomplete paragraph and another body paragraph.

When reading my essay and putting it along side my plan, I think I am on the right track in terms of the structure of my essay. Though I think I'm a little behind on gathering my sources from present day issues but I know exactly what present day events and strikes I will use. For today i think it is a good idea to find my sources for the strike in East Hartford, Connecticut at Pratt & Whitney.

I'm definitely not on track to meet the goals I set myself. I wanted to be done with my essay draft by this week, having next week to do the final draft.

I don't really want to change in anything, I set a goal and I have many opportunities to meet that goal.

I don't really need any support. The only thing would be to have a conference if I feel like I'm stuck.

My goal today in class is to finish my 3rd paragraph for sure, but strive to also start my counterclaim paragraph.

After looking over my plans/ requirements I do feel like I'm on track to meet my goals, the only thing is that I am a little behind as I am only just finishing my second paragraph. However, I do feel pretty confident that I can catch up and fulfill my set requirements so I don't think it's necessary to change them. looking at my project today I want to start my third paragraph and look over and fix anything in my second.

After looking over my plans/requirements, I'm slightly off track. The main thing I'm having a hard time with is creating a hook. I do feel confident that after this weekend I will be able to hammer it out and be right where I need to be

After looking at both assignments, I noticed towards the beginning of the research essay I was definitely on track, but as the year is starting to close I'm also in that closing stage, so I'm starting to slack a bit but I will end up finishing on time. I think I would want to modify my plan by finishing up my essay day by day instead of week by week. By doing that, I can finish faster and more efficiently. Before I finish, I want an in-depth conference with Dr. Sulzman so I know where things stand when It comes to the requirements and if I fulfilled my claim. Today, I want to finish my second body paragraph and hopefully my third before the next week. The conclusion is something I want to conference with just so I know how to end it off. I need to find a couple more sources to finish up.

although i wasn’t in class i was able to work on my outline, i feel like i’m a little behind because i’ve been collecting evidence for my counterclaim as well. i am on track with my requirements and referring back to my planning i feel like i can update the time frame to be more fitting for the due date. As of now i don’t need much help from others just until next class to then follow up with Dr Sulzman to make sure i’m on the right track as well.
