Nineth week and I can not believe how fast time is going. I feel somewhat of a failure to my film action research class because they are seriously 500 year behind everyone else. It took three weeks to work on my action research and now they are three weeks behind. I am trying my best to get them going faster but I do not want to disrupt their learning by going toooo fast. I will just have to try my best.
I feel like with some of my students I am not looked at as a teacher. When Mr. Tate walks in the room they all get quiet. I have to ask them to be quiet 10 times before they do, it feels like. I want to be fun with them and have good relationships but I feel like I am loosing my command as a teacher.
I know we only have 6 or 7 more weeks left and I want to try and fit in 2 more movies so that I have enough date for my research. AND I want to know how to keep the test scores for data... I am just a little stressed out because time is going soooo fast and I want to have everything so that I am not scrambling at the end for things for action research.

Give the students strict time limits. If they don't finish filming, then they only get graded on what they have. I noticed many of the kids reshooting just to reshoot. The goal shouldn't be a great movie ready for production but an assessment of the learned material. Do you want them to make a funny/enjoyable movie, or do you want them to demonstrate acquisition of knowledge? Get that point across to them.
