Everyone, please help clean up and put the chairs up. Be sure the lights are off, the computer is logged-out and projector turned off, and the doors closed.

 * ESL Writing Feedback Activity (to finish our class session)**

[]
 * Review these slides: and complete the task explained on slide 18. For this activity, you will be using the writing samples that Kailey will pass out in class. You will turn in the assignment next Thursday.**
 * Housekeeping:**
 * 1) Unfortunately, you still can’t see the written feedback from the midterm quiz. I have put in a request to our technology support people, but haven’t heard back from them. I’ll keep you informed. I think all the other grading is up to date and you should be able to see my feedback on Blackboard.
 * 2) I will collect reading journals from everyone on December 3.
 * 3) Remember that the professional toolbox and observation are due November 28. Upload to Blackboard.
 * 4) I am attaching a final project model that includes the writing lesson plan. I ran out of time before I could finish the model of the professional justification. That will come next week. To prepare for that, I suggest that you keep a running list of professional knowledge (theory and instructional practices) as you are writing your lesson plans. You might want to review your reading journal and put sticky notes by concepts you are incorporating. This will make it much easier to write the professional justification.
 * 5) Lauren and Alaa – You are in the charge of the English PLUS activity for Dec 3.
 * 6) Vanessa, Maya, Pamela, Katie, Sarah, and Kaylee: You are scheduled to do your teaching demos on December 3. Remember that you don’t have to have your final written project entirely finished. (It isn’t due until December 19th.) Please rehearse your demo to be sure you can stay within the 9-11 minute time. You will be presenting your demo as though we were your students. In other words, don’t tell us about your activity — actually teach it. As you are preparing the demo, be sure to review the rubric that is at the very end of the Nov/Dec calendar. Before you teach, you will have a 1-minute or less opportunity to “set the stage” for the portion of the lesson you are demonstrating. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to email me. I’m also happy to make an appointment to meet with you.
