Agenda 11/11/14

It's that time again! Time for us to get busy "marrying" ACT standards and our content.  We will be doing two things tomorrow:
  • Organizing our folders (you'll need to bring yours that Robin made you, along with the test copies that you received
  • Helping each other incorporate ACT-like questions and material into our content (you'll each need to bring an assignment, project, or assessment that you'd like help with incorporating

We may have some work time at the end to start incorporating those standards, so bring your Chromebook as well.

Looking forward to "flying closer" tomorrow as we work to "marry" our standards and content.
