Where I'm at Right Now with My Paper

Currently I have about 8 pages.  It's all a big mess right now.  I need to figure out exactly how to do intext cites.  Right now it's a lot of what the researchers have said regarding my topic; not so much, of how I interpret what they say, yet. It's not in any kind of organization that makes much sense right now.  So once I keep reading through it and intrepreting what the resarchers are saying, I will try to organize it in a way that makes sense.  I feel like I have a lot of different researchers that are arguing the same point.  Is it bad to have too many researchers talking about my topic?  Once I make the time to sit down and work on the paper, I get into a groove and continue for longer than I had planned, it's just finding that time and motivation to do it. 

My Research

Preparing the 10 pages that is due tomorrow was pretty difficult for me.  I hate to see how I'm going to feel in a month when the complete 20 pages are due.  The research process for me is very overwhelming.  I find a lot of pages from books on google books or journals that I have simply googled and I read one exciting article after another, adding what I have read to my document and before I know it, I'm off track of my original topic.  While I was researching, I found myself tweaking my topic to fit the things I found interesting in my readings. 

Simply putting together the research paper itself I found overwhelming too.  It's been years since I had any class where I had to do such thing.  So I find myself trying to teach myself the basics.  If anyone knows of a place/person on campus I can meet with in regards to putting the research paper together and make it look presentable and who has a lot of time to help me with this, please let me know!

Center for Mental Health in Schools

Below is a web address for journal articles regarding the researcher I am reading about.  There are a ton of articles that would be useful for any topic regarding students emotions, creating safe schools, mental health and social services among schools.

No quick fix : rethinking literacy programs in America's elementary schools

This is a book I found on the CECH website. 

"No Quick Fix is of critical importance to today's teachers, principals, administrators, policymakers, and everyone interested in creating schools where all students learn to read. This groundbreaking resource presents: Proven national models of early intervention, including Reading Recovery, along with their impacts on reducing referrals for special education services. A unified intervention delivery model that calls for an end to fragmented special services. A more cost-effective means of intervention that meets the needs of instructionally needy children." - Google Books
