Reflection of 3rd Lecture

Generally, I've captured some idea on what am I going to do with my topic "Using Collaborative Writing in Improving Year 5 Students' Narrative Writing". Its a qualitative experimental research I suppose. I'm going to do Pretest-Posttest on them. The collaborative writing will focus on group work.
I hope I'm on the right track. But I have to add 1 more research question.

Reflection of 2nd Lecture

This reflection is done a bit late than it should be I guess.. I have to do some revisions first and relate what I've learned with what I'm going to do.
After I've done some sort of revisions on the research proposal, literature review and especially on research questions since we have to submit our topic starting yesterday, for me the research questions part is the gist or in other words, the subject matter on the topic that we are going to do research.
Besides, I need as much as I could for the literature review to support my topic. Though I was planning on something to attract the rural pupils' interest to learn English, it could be quite vague. How am i going to measure interest?? Observation?? Experiment??
So, I've decided to do something on improving their writing because it's more focusing on the language skills.
