Hayley, Connie, Esther Our goals: Hayley- Revising a social studies unit about houses. Connie- Revising the ocean unit Esther- Revising poetry unit

We want to help each other with resources, ideas, and technology to make it enduring and focused. We want to make sure that our essential questions connect with our assessment and instruction.

Session 1- 10/19/11 Focus on Connie and the ocean unit

Session 2- 10/26/11 Focus on Hayley and houses

Session 3- 11/2/11 Focus on Esther and poetry

Session 4-11/9/11 Finish up and tweak as needed

How will we know if we were successful? 1. Do the units seem better? Did we find helpful resources for each other and ourselves? Do we feel that our unit is rigourous? Are we more comfortable finding resources?
