Why do this blog?

Some time last year it was suggested to me by another teacher that one of the best ways of teaching the Small Scale Research project may be to conduct one myself. The idea being that the students would learn more from my own personal feedback and guidance knowing that I was doing what they were doing at the same time. So this year I'm going to try my best to conduct my own Small Scale Research, initially my idea was to try and stay one step ahead of the students so that I could present what they needed to do the following week, this would have worked when I was just going to rehash some research that I conducted while at university, but since planning again for this year's scheme of work I've become undecided and in affect probably put my self in the same position that some of the students will be in, that's not a bad thing and hopefully will make my little experiment more fruitful, hell, if it does turn out well I may well do a the Film A Level my self (don't hold me to that)!
