This week I posted what I am noticing about the data in my mentoring project. It was helpful to me to have a week where that is my focus. We've been so busy with the project, that having some time to analyze it and reflect on it has been worthwhile. Also, reading about others' projects and how they went has been helpful in reflecting on mine. When you are working so closely with something it is important to step back and look at it with "new eyes". I do that often with my art students and with my own artwork, so it makes sense to do that with projects as well.
I noticed that when I made comments on other blogs from our group, it seemed that more people were commenting on others' posts than in previous weeks. This is a positive thing, for there is more feedback for everyone. Hallie and Barbara responded to my post for this week and were helpful in helping me process the purposes of the sections of the mentoring paper. I had a plan, but then I began questioning my ideas about the sections of the paper. (So like me!) Margo also commented on my post and her response was encouraging. I think I can begin putting together my paper now that I have a clearer idea of how to organize it.
