Action steps: 
1. General overview pacing on calendar at the start of the year, with consideration to the the SWP prompt for each genre. 
2. Share successes with the team of meaningful prompts, writing experiences, etc. Perhaps a 5 minute quick share at the start of a GLM once a month? ]]> 2019-05-22 12:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kcamerato/kffck2vw1r1t/wish/362515358 https://padlet.com/kcamerato/kffck2vw1r1t/wish/362515408 I would like to take more time to focus on and dissecting model sentences and texts so that students can understand the organization and purpose of writing better.  

Action Steps:
1. Gather Anchor Texts
2. Pull out Model Sentences
3.
