-Reflecting back on the year, can you name an idea/question/ strategy we discussed that you would like to explore further in the future? Might instruction in content area writing actually hinder students? I work with remedial students. I have one third grade student who was so insistent on writing one-sentence chapters that I could not persuade him to stop. His "chapters" were largely unrelated. This also occurred with a student who had a fixed idea about writing an all about book. In the past students came to me without direct instruction in writing nonfiction.

-In what ways would you like to keep the conversation about literacy in the content areas going either with this group, HVWP, or in your own school community?

- What recommendations can you make to us about improving the group/experience next year?
