This week, I accomplished the following:

• ·         Read over Chris’ website suggestions.
• ·         Create annotated bibliography in MLA format.
• ·         Set up interviews with Aileen, Pam, and Juli for this Friday.

The sources I consulted this week are:

By next week, I want to have accomplished:

• ·         Transcribing pertinent information from interviews with:

o   Kris Brust, Lisa Love, Aileen Sink, Pam Sink, and Julianna Plemitscher.

• ·         Note pertinent information from Chris’ website list.

What obstacles stand in the way of progress?

• ·         Dealing with personal issues creating lack of motivation.
• ·         Reading material attentively.

What steps can I take to move forward?

• ·         Pick one website a day to research fully.
• ·         Take breaks while transcribing interviews.
• ·         Set small goals and reward myself for meeting them to increase motivation.
• ·         Constantly refer back to questions to ensure the gathering of pertinent information.

In this week’s seminar, I want to discuss:

• ·         What about the information I have gathered would be useful to parents?
• ·         What other research strategies can I use to gather information on specific communication techniques based on this topic, rather than just issues in sexual activity among youth?
