I felt overwhelmed again, as far as my paper. I thought I had some idea of what to do. I still have thoughts in my mind of what I want to discuss, but now I find out that I need to use an MLA format. Of course, I haven't used or heard of it before. Why are the formats always changing? Why am I so obsessed about wanting to write my paper instead of gaining interesting, useful knowledge from this class that is being presented to me? I need to settle down and focus on learning.
I learned of how to find research material through my computer. I still am not comfortable with finding the research I want and/or need to read. I need to practice using the right tools, key words, etc. I will!
I also, learned what it means to be a self-regulated learner. I think it has to do somewhat with a self-motivated learner but not entirely.
I am so thankful I am not the only teacher who questions within the classroom and about the classrooms that we read about. Sometimes I feel as if I am the only one with questions, even after all these years.

No,you are not the only one with questions. You are just one of the brave ones who will actually ask.
As far as the MLA format goes, I'm in the same boat with you. I guess I'll ask Mindy when I see her. Hang in there! YOu can do it!
julie, I completely understand how you feel about the paper. I don't know if I will ever get it together or not.. I'm going to try and I hope what I write will make sense.
