  9. Surprises? Questions? • The level of scientific knowledge students will need to learn. • How will teachers adapt their curriculum and their mindset? • When will NGSS be implemented? • I was surprised by the amount of detail needed for clearly written scientific observation. • How long 5 minutes is when you are just looking. • Yay!

  11. More? • Does Kathy have a favorite flower? If so, what is it? • Strategies for organizing, developing, and structuring expository writing. • I’d love to know if history also has new standards in addition to the history CCSS standards for writing and reading, and, if so, what they’re like.

  12. Surprises? Questions? • How interested I was in understanding the science standards. I think there is a way to engage students in english using science content using informational texts. I see boys jumping on board.
