 * Required Reading** – //Engaging Readers and Writers with Inquiry// and //Inquiring Minds Learn to Read and Write *// **and //The Complete Guide to Service Learning//**


 * This book is hard to get and is expensive online. We have copies at cost if you need one. Please let samanthaamora@gmail.com know and we will get that to you!

> Read only pages 6-53, which gives an easy to read foundation on inquiry and what we did on the pre-institute day. These are the 50 strategies Peggy has found invaluable when you run out of ideas – so we will use many of these during our week together and for your unit planning, but no need to read this section unless you are totally riveted. > Pick **one** of these two responses to write before the summer class. > Academic response : compose a 3 page paper (double spaced, 12 point) exploring how some of the strategies in the inquiry books will help you to meet the new Common Core State Standards. Bring an electronic copy of this to our first class meeting. > Creative response: Try one of the activities from the book, or an extension inspired by an activity, in your class (or on your own). Post on the wiki what you have done, how it went, and what you will do differently next time. Respond to two other people's reflections as well. Learn how to post to the wiki here! > Pick ** one ** of these two responses to write before the summer class. > Academic response: Compose a 3 page paper exploring how service learning can be integrated with and act in service of your own objectives as a teacher, and do the same in terms of the new Common Core State Standards. Bring an electronic copy of this to our first class meeting. > Creative: Write a Dear Abby like letter and post it on the wiki: Dear Service Learning Sam; here is a question/issue/observation I have, and post responses to at least two other questions. Learn how to post to the wiki here!
