Putting it all together ....

By now you all have had at least three 1:1 conferences with me regarding your ASPIRE....I hope you have all completed your interview and are in the stage of summarizing your information....

For example, imagine I interviewed my Grandma about "What changes did you see in toys over time ", from the interview answers and research I completed I will write a summary about what I found out and it would look something like this....

My Grandma remembers her first toy was made of wood and string, she received it in her Christmas stocking from Santa who she now realizes was of course her Mother and Father. She told me she cherished it for many many years until her brother Cedric smashed it in anger when he was 7. She apparently cried for days.
Grandma recalls buying a wooden spinning top for my Mother for her 6th birthday and she noticed that comparing the two toys, Mothers had a nib of plastic on it. Grandma thought back to her toys of her childhood and plastic was rarely on toys. I found out that plastic toys were not common until the late 1940s and since Grandma was a child in the 1930s, this will explain why.

And so on....

Remember.......you must ask if you are not sure!!!
