Librarian Visit
This will serve as our "check-in" for the week, per Kayla's sweet e-mail (re: The Gift of Time).
Though we will not formally meet other than this time with Lynn, I am happy to get together with anyone who may need/want to meet throughout the week.

PLC Half-Day
We will be planning the upcoming units for English II and English II GT during periods 1-4 on Friday in the Library Classroom to prepare for the upcoming six weeks.
English II Teachers: Please bring some Expository Writing samples and the rubrics for grade calibration. After grade calibration, we will move into Unit 2 planning. Please bring any ideas and resources you have. Our focus will be on first creating the assessments for the unit, then planning our activities that will support these. Though activities for each teacher can be different, our assessments for each unit will be the same to ensure that our rigor matches across all classes. Next week during PLC, we will present our ideas for the unit to Barbara and Kim (who will also present the English I UbD plans) so that we can do Critical Friends with them.
English II GT Teachers: Please bring writing samples with the rubrics for grade calibration. If each of the classes had a different writing focus for the first six weeks, we can do two separate calibrations. After grade calibration, we will move into Unit 2 planning. Please bring any ideas and resources you have. Our focus will be on first creating the assessments for the unit, then planning our activities that will support these. Though activities for each teacher can be different, our assessments for each unit will be the same to ensure that our rigor matches across all classes. Next week during PLC, we will present our ideas for the unit to Barbara and Kim (who will also present the English I UbD plans) so that we can do Critical Friends with them.
Technology is encouraged!
