= Minutes: = Notes from today's meeting: Research Unit
 * Jenn and Scott: The topic is the Industrial Revolution. Shared the pacing guide for the research project. There are different articles for two groups: one for beginning and high beginning and another for intermediate and advanced. There is a photo gallery of historical pictures that will go with the project.The prompt is not yet written: The first page of the packet is an overview of the Industrial Revolution. The sources are all secondary sources instead of primary sources. There will be a presentation element and a possible time line project. We are also waiting for the survey to be created.
 * Peer Observations: Week of 4/11, 2 out each day.Over 4 days: Three teachers will be out the first day, then two teachers out the other days. That will give us Friday off before the break.
 * Placement for next year. What do you expect students to be able to do at the very beginning of the school year? Add information to the graphic organizer. We will spend the next collaboration meeting to work with the teachers teaching the same level to set the criteria for moving up.
