LOTS AND LOTS DONE! Sally and I got a much better grip on the Why Maine? unit. The table activity let us plan out the subtopics the student groups will research to meet the progress report benchmarks. We also thought of some possible presentation formats the students could opt for.
The online rubric makers are AWESOME!! We'll definitely get a lot out of those.
Also need to remember that we're teaching the Big6 process and vocabulary to the students... because hopefully they'll be seeing it after they move on.

Yes, one of our goals is to have teachers all using the same Big 6 vocabulary so that the process eventually becomes a habit of mind for our students. There are some neat (not cheap) posters on the Big6 website. The rubric makers are definitely cool and a tremendous time saver.I liked Annie Jo's comment about them in her blog post. Check it out.
See you Monday,

Awesome, Jay! You and Sally are really doing this the right way. You are making great use of time, collaboration, and professional enthusiasm. Any way we can get you 2 to join every class we run?? :)
