  18. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

  19. Reading Group – • - notebook will be 10% of the grade (student is responsible for it) • -must have dividers with articles in it • -rewards available to students • Weekly drawing (small prize) • Tickets given to them during 4th period • Drawing at the end of the quarter for a bigger prize (plaque/name displayed on LIT FOR ALL WALL) • Using Graphic novels (Ms. Stewart/Ms. Peralta)

  20. Writing Group – -The writing group disagrees with the weight that is being suggested by the reading group for the notebooks. -We agree that notebooks are a good idea. -Wednesday should be changed to concept comprehension in accordance to writing strategies. -Mr. Chavez suggested sticking to the Achieve 3000 program because it has the questions and prompts already implemented with the article. (Work smarter not harder.)

  21. Speaking Group – • Topics of Concern: • Possibly switching the speaking with the reading. Pre-questions for discussion before the reading. • Who will be the one to make copies for the entire day? • How will the information (copies, articles, etc.) get sent to and from Sunland? • Should Speaking and the Reading Analysis be switched? • Should the writing portion for 4th period be switched around? • We feel that the focus questions in the beginning because of absences during 1st period material will be lost.

  22. -Where are we going to keep all the work completed by the students? -How are grades going to be recorded and kept. How will the Data team get these grades to evaluate the data? -Who will be making the copies for the students? -Are we going to need paper for copies? Ms. Kreye has informed me that we have more than enough paper to make copies and we have money to order more paper if needed.
