I am in the process of finalizing the AH distribution list.  We will be moving forward with our work soon.

1.  I have saved a copy of the 21st Century Arts Map as well as the Common Core Arts Maps that are linked to in case the links ever fail.
2.  I have posted another document for 9th grade Common Core document that Greta Gilbert created under the documents folder.
3.  I also posted a writing prompt for art in the art folder that Cindi Hughes submitted.
4.  I posted the current agenda for this month under the agenda folder.
5.  I posted a sign in sheet as well as a standard invoice for February in the documents folder.

1.  We are to work on updating strategies and resources for each discipline (music, art, dance and drama) at all levels (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) for each unit.

2.  We are to design 5-7 higher order  sample questions per unit per discipline at all levels.

3.  We need to make a connection to the writing/communication plan.  There are three types of writing (writing to learn, writing to demonstrate learning, writing for publication).  As a beginning, we will write one of each of the three types of writing prompts for each discipline at each level.  For example, there would be 9 writing prompts for music, 9 for art, 9 for dance, and 9 for drama.

4.  We need examples of levels of learning for each discipline at each level for each unit also.  There are 6 levels of learning as evidenced in the walk through document.

5.  We will also learn about the CIITS website at each meeting.
