The most common artifact among my field sites is definitely the infamous and overly highlighted planners of the honors students. I can attest to the fact that mine has become my life’s savior. These planners are often found on a coffee table, stuffed tightly in a backpack alongside books or even simply toted in the arm of the student as they are off to class. The never failing fact is that the honors students do always know the exact place of their trusty planner at any given moment. This is a very key observation in that it shows the importance and also relays to how this could affect thier stress levels. What if the planner could not be located? Would that loss of literacy cause a higher level of stress for the student? Does is matter if the student is an honors student or not? These are all very important and pertinent questions in relation to the artifact of the planner.
