 * February 15, 2011**
 * 8:00-11:30**
 * Room 112**


 * **Small Moments Writing Survey Results**
 * The group divided into pairs to prepare and share a summary statement for each question/response. The summary statements and the survey results (pdf) will be posted online for teacher access. The posting will be shared with teachers at the 2/22 Writing meetings.
 * **Writers as Readers Survey Development**
 * The group prepared the Writers as Readers survey, using the same format ast the Small Moments survey, with revisions to some questions.
 * **Quick Share of the Coach's Mini-Movies gathered during Writing Workshop Visits**
 * The group viewed some first & second grasde writing interviews
 * Shared the student interview questions that contain the WW focus areas developed by LLTs and faculty
 * The collection of interviews will take a few more weeks to complete
 * The coach's goal is to compile the movies by question and share them with the faculty with time for reflection
 * **Writing Assessment**
 * The group took an intial look at aligning the stages with the AGSD Writing Framework and the PA Writing Domain Scoring Guide
 * There seems to be an overall alignment
 * Consideration needs to be given to the aspect of genre on the stages - the report card identifies the instructed genre, but the current stages do not differentiate by genre
 * A suggestion to have a distinct progress sheet for each genre
 * At the next meeting, cut and paste the stages & writing framework by stage/grade level for easier comparison
 * Consideration needs to be given to the use of the writing rubric in assessment
 * how would that work with the stages
 * how can we ensure that students are reflecting on their writing by seeing the match between what was taught and what they utilized

Begin to plan another whole group anthology lesson in the Applegate style. Please bring your notes from __Montague and the High Seas__ and the Applegate workshop. Also bring your anthology for a story coming up in March or April. We'll pick two stories (one each, grades 1 & 2) to plan.
 * Next Meeting: March 17 PM**
