= Minutes: = Notes from today's meeting: 1. We read the completed summaries from chapter 3 of our text. 2. We began to articulate the scaffolds we provide our students by level. However, during our discussion we felt like it would be appropriate to do some reading about instruction and planning for instruction before continuing. Our text on adolescent English language learners has a chapter on planning instruction, so we decided to read that chapter next (chapter 6) instead of our planned chapter (which was chapter 4). We plan on having our portion read/summarized/posted on the link above by 12/5.
