  1. It looks like you have a great framework to gather the information you need to complete your action research project. In your plan, you are using a pool of 100 eighth grade students. Approximately how many students make up this class? I am just trying to get a feel for the size of your school. Will you choose the students randomly, or will they be students that are in classes that you teach? I am anxious to see the results your study generates. I think you have a great plan and course of action set out. Good luck!
