Week 4

This week I was able to touch base with my site supervisor to have a short discussion regarding my action research plan. It was tough finding time to meet with my site supervisor, who is heavily involved in all of the testing we have going on this spring. We discussed my inquiry: How does participation in extra-curricular activities affect grades/scores of African American males? My site supervisor wants to make sure that I carefully select my sample groups and make sure that contrasting groups match up well. I will pull my extra-curricular participators from our 5^th period football athletics class and will pull my non-participators from 6^th period P.E. As I pull the data for these students, I must take into account varying factors to make sure that the groups provide accurate data for the study.
