Research Design Graphic

Using PowerPoint I have created an arbitrary graphic that focuses on a research design that was utilized during research preformed in a classroom of twenty-four students and two teachers. 

The graphic follows:

       The chart is broken up into seven rows, one to represent each week necessary for this study. This particular research began on May 2 and ran through June 8, however this design can be adapted to any seven week period. Each color represents a different activity. Purple represents activities that involves the researcher interacting in person with the students and teachers, red corresponds with the pre and post tests, blue is observation times, and finally green which is the closure and write-up of the research. The thickness of the box is also relevant to the graphic. If the graphic fills the entire height of the box the activity is for the entire week. If the box fills a smaller portion of the height then the activity happens only once that week.
       The main target for this graphic would be for a live presentation to the school in which the research was conducted or another more informal type of setting. This could even be used a presentation of the plan before the plan was enacted so that the participants and others involved would understand what the researcher's plan of action would be. The design is an informal write-up and can be adapted for a multitude of occasions.
