Keeping what works & Changing what doesn’t

How we are modernizing:

  • Shorter reading pieces
  • More frequent chunks of writing
  • Mixed media in both what you will access and what you will create
  • Flexible weekly pacing

How we are staying the same:

  • Active & critical reading
  • Formal & informal writing assignments
  • Expectation to complete work on time
  • Traditional academic grades each quarter
