  1. This Common Core Learning Standards Tool*
    Helps me because I know what I am supposed to be able to do
    Doesn't help me
    Seems likes it's more for the teacher than for me


  1. The module's goal is to read, discuss, and analyze informational texts and poetry, focusing on how authors use language, structure, and rhetoric to analyze complex ideas and events, develop an argument, convey a point of view, or advance a purpose. The module suggests we spend 52 days on chapter one of The Souls of Black Folks.
    I think we should spend 52 days on chapter one. I would find this interesting and helpful
    I think it's good to add a book like To Kill a Mockingbird with the chapter to add meaning and have some fiction, too
    Either is good.
