I've reached the point in my independent study when I need to formulate THE question. This is the basis for my fall research and THE answer will be my thesis. Honestly, I'm scared. There are about nine million directions I could happily take this project. But it's time to make a commitment.
Here are my drafts:
1. Does the use of picture books in high school English and social
studies classrooms affect students’ engagement with the lesson and
mastery of its objectives?
2. Does the use of picture books in high school English and social
studies classrooms affect students’ engagement with the lesson and
mastery of the teacher's instructional objectives?
3. Does the use of picture books in high school English and social
studies classrooms affect students’ qualitative and quantitative
response to the teacher's instructional objectives?
I drafted these yesterday morning and sent them to my advisor for her review and input. Yesterday, I liked number two the best. I think I still do.
Thoughts?
At first glance I would choose number 1, however I'm not a teacher and I personally know how much you love to teach and help others improve, so I believe that number 2 fist you best.
