12/5/12 Meeting #6
Please get your public speaking data in as soon as you can. Thanks.
1. Check-In
2. 21st Century Offering: Invention
"Applying new ways to solve problems is an ideal in reading and writing instruction. Invention is one of the key components of creating an exemplary writing piece or synthesizing information from multiple sources. Invention takes students to a higher level of metacognition while exploring literature and writing about their experiences."

3. Selfish discussion for Spare about the presentations on A Long Way Gone--loosely connected to our ELO on speaking...
4. Let's figure out a 3rd ELO to work on. Keep the momentum going.
Possible way to frame conversation: What are we already planning on doing during semester 2 that would fit with #3 or #4?
Here are our "revised" ELO's
“Adjusted” ELOs
ELO #1 Students will write thesis statements that are clear, specific, debatable and provable. Through this process students
ELO #2: Students will develop the ability to speak formally to their peers by presenting information concisely and logically, supporting presentations with evidence, and integrating technology effectively, and interacting with an audience actively.
New ELO #3: Students will display the ability to read and interpret literature by evaluating literary elements such as motif, theme, symbol and figurative language.
Macbeth or any shakespeare (figurative language and motif) Annette, Tom
New ELO #4: Students will display the ability to synthesize two sources in a formal literary essay.
Synthesis with F 451 and film
