=Hello 9th Grade English Team!= =About Each Page=
 * I setup this wiki space for our collaboration over the summer.
 * Consider this a playground for testing new ideas about ways to organize and present content that reflect 21st century teaching and learning.
 * I set up a few pages for us to test. **See About Each Page** (below) for more information.
 * You can access each page from the menu to the left. To set up additional pages see **Getting Started** below.
 * I am available at anytime over the summer if you need help uploading information, linking, adding images, etc. I can also come in and provide some QPD (quick professional development). Please feel free to call me directly (773) 981-3791. Consider me your personal help desk.
 * I know that new processes can be frustrating. Please know that we can abandon this test at any time!
 * If you are feeling stressed, see the following YouTube video, "Introducing the Book."
 * **Home** - Is the page we are on right now.
 * **BookLists** - Lists the books we talked about during our meeting as well as a few additional suggestions. I also included links to the author's pages and book reviews.
 * **English Class Page** - Here you will find a framework for organizing content for the 9th Grade English course. The vision is that once this page is finalized, students will have access to all the content. //As I promised, I will help you upload/link all this information as we move through the process--if we decide to go this route, of course.// See LMC Class Page for an example of how it might look with all the info posted.
 * **English Lesson Plans** - Links to individual lesson plans and supporting resources can be added here. This page would be for planning purposes.
 * **LMC Class Page** - I've started pulling together content for introducing the library, which will lead to various Big 6 units that will be integrated into the English course. Students, parents, and other teachers will have access to this page. This page will be like a virtual whiteboard that I may use during instruction or direct students to for homework purposes. The idea is that it is consistent throughout the year so students worry less about where to find things and more about what they are learning :)
 * **Library Curriculum Map** - I included a basic chart to map out content, using the Library Media Center (LMC) content as an example.
 * **LMC Lesson Plans** - Lesson plans for the library media center.
