Unit 2 Updates

TIP: Bookmark this page on school and home computer! :) It will save you from trying to remember the  URL. I think you can also choose to follow the blog via email, so that every time a new post is made you will receive an email update. 

UNIT 2 UPDATES: 
- Learning Targets have been posted to Dropbox.  
  Link:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/pc1si62uqnqa3rq/Unit2_targets.docx

-Pretest for RL.8.5 passage (Pecos Bill) is uploaded. Don't jump in until you know what they
 know! You can adjust from there. Can I get a volunteer to provide answers for the group? We can add/revise questions as needed. 


-Reflect & respond: We are still significantly behind and not to the point of planning a week or two in advanced. I vote for a couple hardcore 'power hour' sessions before or after school in the VERY near future to get us caught up. I think it will pay off in the long run.

  1. *advance not advanced

    *and power hour will unfortunately not include the traditional 'power hour' supplies...BUT we can make this more fun. PLC over food/snacks? We don't have to meet at school...think about it.

  2. I may be able to meet Thirsday after school for PLC, But I think one of us should lead the 8th PLC after school and the other work on 9th at the same time. Our 9th grade unit is coming to a close....

  3. Love the way you guys have this setup and combining the blog and Dropbox....

    What if we could setup a PLC training for you guys to show other PLC groups how to do this.

  4. Question #4 on the prestest needs a minor change. Change the word "rides" to "chases". I will post the answers later today since I went ahead and gave the pretest today.
