Documentation Plan:

I plan to document my work and reflection through accumulative weekly posts/paragraphs/weekly journal, talking about the observations I have made throughout the week with the classroom that I’m working with. I feel like this is the best course of action due to the fact that the majority of my project is based on interactions and observations, and I won’t be able to analyze or write a process piece about this type of work.
