There were many strong points throughout Sarah and Drew's presentation. I enjoyed the fact that it was interactive and it gave us a chance to get up out of our seats and participate. I also learned a lot of valuable things about student-oriented curriculum. I learned that a lot of schools use weekly goal sheets at the beginning of the week and weekly evaluation sheet at the end. I think this is a great way to hold students accountable for their own work and progress. Another thing that I thought was strong in this presentation was that they provided some great resources that will be useful to all of us in the future. Finally, I think that it was interesting that Sarah and Drew connected their presentation back to Turning Points 2000. I thought that was a cool way to connect what they read about back to what we have been doing in class. If I had one piece of advice I think it would have been a time saver to have created multiple KWL boards for the beginning activity or to have utilized the white boards around the room. I think it would have minimized the wait time.
