This research followed the Hopkins model research design, starting with preliminary acts, then planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research cycled twice. Cycle II improved on cycle I's incomplete evaluation results. Cycle I reflection determined Cycle II improvements. This study yielded qualitative and quantitative data. Quantitative data comes from teacher observations, student interviews, and field notes. Student activities and post-learning evaluations provide quantitative data.
