All teachers had a group, in addition, Liz, Linnea and Deb took a group.

Thoughts-what worked?
 * Suzanne**-encouraged the use of 3 vivid details, worked on changing old sentences to new sentences, very systematic in approach (wrote old/new, old/new, old/new and then put ALL new sentences together), overall the group performed better, leads were strong and engaging with good word choice, a majority of the group were PP.


 * Diane**-went over rubric with students, she explained the goal is to go from a P to an A, paired students up with a partner to give feedback on story (I wonder, I like, I'm confused by), utilized teacher/student conferencing, used exemplars to show good examples, overall performed much better-improvement in most areas.


 * Tina**-used exemplars and rated as a class, 50% got better, 2-3 students wrote the same thing, a few did worse because they were concentrating on a specific aspect of writing and other pieces fell apart.


 * Deb**-did "surgery" on papers, a majority of the improved, encouraged students to describe and answer why questions that Deb had as she was reading their papers.

December prompt-Imagine.....you find a box with an animal inside. Focus on organization and sentence fluency but grade entire rubric Prompt will be given on 12/11 Intensive intervention 12/16-12/18, 12:15-1:15 Ability regrouping based on needs within organization and sentence fluency based on third grade writing rubrics. ||
 * Liz and Linnea** had the lower group of students-they were participating in other PLC meetings and did not share results. ||
