Hi everyone– for our first meetings (Group 1 will meet Mon Feb 10, Group 2 will meet Thurs Feb 13,) we’ll be checking in to see how you’re doing. Both meetings are from 2:30-3:45. Locations are TBD. We’ll also be discussing reading: How do we teach it? How do we make reading visible?

*I’m not really going to check your annotations, but every. last. time. I assign a reading to students, I also assign annotation– which I do check and discuss.
