HJ Bennett Memo #5

I have cause for concern as I am not one who cares for mess in my classroom, in my house and in my life.  As I struggle to put my thoughts down on paper for my research project, I realize that I need to be flexible and just let it flow.   I do expect that as I write down research ideas and questions, I remain active in the "sorting out period" where I map out strategies and clean up the gray areas in order to make the obvious appear (at least I hope so!).  Like my students, I need lots of scaffolding to help construct my research project and diminish my sense of insecurity.
