  1. Awesome research topic. Your template is also easy to follow and understand. I'm curious to learn about more about what goes on in the new ELA block course (I'm an ELA teacher) and how everyong is adjusting to it. Nice Job!

  2. I like the layout of your plan. Will you have access to data at the end of each testing period? That might be nice to make tables and charts from to able to have a visual of the testing results.
