=This is a new page for the Writing Group= = = =Welcome SVHS English Department and Friends=

 I am starting this Wikispace as an experiment and training ground for myself and any other interested teachers. Thinking back on the past year, I realized the power of collaboration and project based learning that our students experienced in the WET Project Citizen research. I wondered if students would be more motivated to write and revise if they posted work on a wiki and commented on classmates writing.

 Since I am a neophyte in this area, I want to practice myself before assigning this work to students. I hope this space can be a community notebook where we share experiences from the past year and plan for the coming year. I am eager to hear your views, experiences, plans, and suggestions for the following:
 * CAHSEE preparation, the good, bad, and ugly
 * RTI, what works, what doesn't, what if?
 * ELA standards and how to teach them through the SLC lense
 * ELA Standards--what's working?
 * ELA Standards--what do we need to work on?
 * Your soapbox, whatever you think we should hear.
