=Collaboration Meeting Minutes:= 12. ELAC is this Wednesday. Blue parent info cards in Maxine's office. Homework:
 * 1) Anthony and team reviewed team norms.
 * 2) Williams Settlement Visit- Make sure books are checked out for English classes. Okay for books to be on shelf as long as each student has a book. -Recycle used interactive practice books so stud3ents cannot copy from last year. - Consider keeping books in class so they have them to use.
 * 3) PLC work from August: My Gradebook- How are we setting it up? Each quarter can be broken up so grades do not continue, but you do not have to come up with new class codes and passwords.
 * 4) Grading Categories: Reading 35%, Writing 35%, Speaking 15%, Participation 15%, Extra Credit 3%. Sub categories and grading categories are on the ELD wikispaces!
 * 5) Syllabus: Show students site and the translation widget rather than printing it out.
 * 6) SMART Goals: 75% of students will meet standards at each level on the Narrative Benchmark quarter 2 and the Expository Benchmark quarter 3.-
 * 7) Narrative: Need to have 6 weeks for unit so we need to start Narrative next week. Narrative rubric and prompts are posted on the ELD Wiki under "Formative Assessment", then "Narrative". Write a paragraph the first 2 weeks, then build up to an essay. Might have to rethink the higher level students who do not have CAHSEE prep. Every student will need a student progress chart to keep track of their progress. Weekly tasks for narrative are also on the ELD Wiki.
 * 8) First assessment should be given next Thursday.
 * 9) CELDT student ppt: make sure students know to take test seriously. Check email for your class list so you know who will be taken out of your classes for testing.
 * 10) Questions/Concerns: Night library starts this week, Sophia Jacoub is in library Thursday, Bassemah on Mondays, Vikki Hoffman and Travis Engstrand on Wed. Make sure students know library is for quiet studying, they need to go to student center to study with partners or talk.
 * 11) Narrative: Focus on sensory details, don't throw too much at students at once.
 * Narrative Week One Prompt: Looks good, no changes.
 * Look over narrative prompts and edit, some are better than others.
 * How many students do not have CAHSEE prep? How will they take the reading literacy test
