When should they have a completed, edited piece. No editing lessons were suggested. Days between each lesson makes it hard for continuity of thought.]]> 2018-08-31 12:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/276864225 Way too much paper. The resource copies for unit 2 are 2 inches thick and no student copies have even been made yet. Often times the lessons in unit 1 called for graphic organizers/tables that were all only slightly different and repeated the work the students did already. Why not reuse 1 graphic organizer that includes all work you want students to be doing. katheryn_thirkettle https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/277912286 2018-09-05 11:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/277912286 I don't know if I've shared this anywhere. If you would like to use technology for students to submit their work, we were told that was acceptable. For example, instead of making all the copies of a graphic organizer, have students use an app to complete it. I'm not sure how it would work in the older grades without ipads. irwin_miss_k https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/277912893 2018-09-05 11:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/277912893 There is a handout in the lesson 4 file that isn't needed. I can't find it in the lesson irwin_miss_k https://padlet.com/katheryn_thirkettle/77eoun3j9v90/wish/279028719
