We've finished with the Underground Man. We worked through the conversations between Liza and the Underground Man in order to understand the effect that he had on her and then the effect that she had on him. Understanding the changes between Parts 6 and 7 and then 9 and 10 is key to really understanding the novel.
Tonight you should prepare for your timed writing on Notes from Underground. Wednesday is a PLC day, so it gives us a good opportunity to complete a timed writing. Remember that the essay will be another Q3, so review your feedback on your first attempt and the feedback to the class before we begin.
Complete a plot card for Notes and the other major works you've read this year. It helps!
AP Research
I'm such a proud papa bear today! The major goal for the week is to apply your revisions and then keep moving forward. Some of you are ready to start collecting your participants. Some of you are really ready to get started. Some just need to do some more tweaking to move fully forward. If you were given revisions today, you can clear them with me - you do not have to resubmit to the full IRB.
Don't forget that we also have a new reflection question posted in our log. I'll be checking PREP folders over Winter Break - Do make sure that they are complete.
Lastly - here are the IRB review notes for the whole group:
1. Change definite number for surveys, etc. to “a convenient sample”
2. All parental consent forms should list the teacher (Daniel Miller) as the primary contact.
3. Student emails and contact information should not be shared. “AP Research Student”
4. How will you get your sample of students to test? How will you standardize the interview, etc. when there are multiple times?
5. Use clear operational definitions related to the study – operational words “Phone use”, “Christianity”,
6. Standardization of any study – can’t go off script when doing an interview
7. Someone should be able to come behind you and replicate your study; everything should be documented
8. Limitations – Consider these along the way to articulate at the end
9. Gender question: Male/Female/Nonbinary / Prefer not to respond
10. How are students coding research responses?
11. What is unique to your study? What data will you find that is not already published? How does your work contribute to the body of knowledge?
12. Incentives for the survey, focus groups, etc… - just to consider
Please reach out as you complete your revisions and move forward to beginning your research!
