At this point. . .

You should have two FORMAL, typed lesson plans that include essential questions, objectives, all materials included, and activities. These should be COMPLETE! Translation: If you say "discuss" you must list the questions you will use to discuss as well as the format for the discussion. If you say "Read Article" you must include the actual article as well as reading strategies for tackling it.

So, you have some work to do.

Please stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize during this last week of classes. We will have our final check in on the Wednesday before your final is due. At that point, you must have four FORMAL lessons and your tool. The project description is still posted on the blog (look below) if you have questions about requirements or formating.

As always, let me know if you have questions.
