Action Plan Evaluation When looking back on my action plan and how much of what we planned actually got done, I can see that as a class, we made an effort to stick to it – I just don’t think we made enough of an effort and I think we could have completed nearly everything when we planned to if we tried hard enough. On multiple occasions we moved dates forward because we hadn’t completed them. For example, on the 12th November, we were supposed to have auditions but we had to move that to the…
