We discussed how we would go about getting a planning day for our many up-coming events.
We decided to ask for Wednesday, November 14th (December 5th as as suggested back-up day) as a day for an extensive planning session.
The PLC decided to plan on our next move with the freshmen.
The freshmen were introduced to the database, and Elizabeth's class was able to get one. Josephina's class needs more instruction on how to acquire an article.
We decided to move on to having the freshmen analyze their articles according to the same analysis sheet we used to introduce them to reading scientific papers.
Julie, suggested that we get Mary McGinty to do follow-up work on data bases to help students who haven't found an article to do so.
- On Monday block one Julie will go to the combined classroom to help students find their articles, with a due date for having an article in hand on Thursday, October 25th.
- On October 31st they will read, annotate and look up vocabulary for their articles.
- By Thursday, November 1st, they will have read their articles, and Julie will collect them to check for annotations, and definitions. Julie will pick them up at this time.
- Articles will be passed back to the students on Monday, November 5th.
- On Tuesday, November 6th, Dr. Hotz and Ms. Hornberger will remind them that they will be reading their articles and annotating them on Wednesday.
- During Wednesday, november 7th they will work on, and complete their 2nd quarter article review.
- Dr. Hotz, and Ms. Hornberger will pick them up for grading on Thursday, November 8th.
- On 28th of November, during advisory, students will get their books for their writing assignment.
We reviewed how the field trip went
Dr. Hotz discussed establishing a timeline and benchmark for planning our next steps in the process of designing this project.
We discussed how the collaborative process was working, and we examined how this group of freshmen had the lowest percentage of students not passing in a long time.
Discussed visiting Big 11 lake, but we decided to table this until the next meeting.
Proceeded to SLC/ROBOTICS meeting.
