today while i was looking at my data with a classmate i came across a major theme i would like to focus on for my case study. there was a lot of data i collected that dealt with how adults simply do not understand student's lives and what they are going through at this point in thier lives. these adults include parents, counselors, and teachers. i think that these adults will be the focus of my case study and i think i will explore how these adults with the stress and other things they put on students affects them and makes them turn to school violence.

for my inquiry qeustion i will be doing alot of research, and i have decided just what that research will be. i have decided that for my question i will interview a focus group and a teacher of an ESL classroom. on top of this i would like to take some fiels notes as well as look at some studnent grades and work. this should prove to be very helpful, but i am also going to look at the poudre school district web site and i will take those facts into considersation when adressing my question. i will record all of this data from my ed350 classroom practicum ecperience, i will also use the world wide web and the csu library to help my research. i think that the collection will be fairly easy and i think i wshould have no real problem finding information.

Through doing my annotated bibiography for my CO301d class i found that my inquiry question is a good one. it confirmed that i can find sources for this topic and they are good ones at that. through the bibliography i found that everyone who is writing about this topic seems to be leaving out how we can incorporate this black english. they all seem to define black english and talk about the pros and cons of it, but they never show me how they use it in the classroom or whether it is effective or not? these are topics which i tend to address in my own inquiry and i hope i can find a way to incorporate black englsih into the classroom without it hurting the idea of code switching and the content of the course. i think that my inquiry will fill this gap and i believe that through my exploration both with research and in the classroom i will figure out a way to incorporate this black english in a code switching way. i think that it may be hard however to explore black english in my classroom though, so i might narrow my question so i will be looking at Latino english rather than black english, i have not yet decided.
