curriculum and assessment 2010

Level 1 (ten hours)
1. Examine and reflect on the World Language Seminar model and tweak it. We did a survey, and sixty kids gave us feedback we will use.

2. Specifically, re-organize the Seminar to be a list of tasks instead of calendar-based. Started this. Done!

3. Create project sheets for each task and make them into .pdfs for the wiki (ETA we created these as we went along last year--not a huge timesucker) A lot of this has to do with me cleaning out my laptop before it gets re-imaged. 

4. Isolate the essential skills. Here they are.

5. Create a metalanguage master definition page with tons of examples. I plan on making them like this: Kirsten's page.

6. MAKE BINDER GUIDELINES with STUDENT SAMPLE
(colors for different tasks, etc?)

7. Make 1 page plan with essential skills, unit themes, metalanguage, translation guidelines, and contact info.

8.  Make Metalanguage Flap Posters for level 1

Level 2 (ten hours)

1. Create a metalanguage list Here they are!
