After our last class, I gained the clarity I needed on the literature review, specifically on how many peer-reviewed articles to include in part III and whether all of them were necessary. That understanding really helped relieve some of the pressure I had been feeling.

With that in mind, I made some meaningful progress on Part III. Although it’s still a work in progress, I have a strong sense of direction and can see how everything is beginning to come together. It’s reassuring to feel aligned and on track with my outline and confident in the direction I’m heading.

Over the next few weeks, my focus will be on continuing to build and refine Part III while being more intentional about how I integrate the literature. I want the sources/quotes to flow naturally within my writing and enhance my ideas, rather than disrupt my voice. Overall, I’m feeling motivated and excited to keep developing this section.

My outline for the upcoming weeks remain the same:

• 3/31–4/6: Continue developing Part III and prepare for presentation series
• 4/7–4/13: Finalize Part III 
• 4/14–4/20: Revise Parts I, II, & III as needed 
• 4/21–4/27: Design and format the book using Pressbook, Flipbook, Canva, WordPress
• 4/28–5/4: Finalize all revisions and edits; submit all work
