=English Language Arts 20=

Welcome to Wikispaces! This is a beginning point as we collaborate on developing and sharing our classroom ideas, resources, assessments, curriculum supports, and so much more! Think of it as "one your stop shopping" store where all the best ideas can be found! Any teacher who is interested in adding to our page must first have a wikispaces account (it is free!). Then you can choose, Join this Wiki, option. An email will be sent to the wiki "manager" (one of the coaches), who will give you permission to become a member. Members can then add their own material to share. =**NEW! Assessment Tools for Writing: **=
