So, my topic remains the same:  How can the use of dialogic discourse diaries help develop thoughtful writers and increase English I and English II EOC writing scores?

...but the following changes have been made to the plan:

1. Teachers will survey students in August 2013 and May 2014 to identify attitudes toward academic writing.  
2. All 9th and 10th grade students will participate in the study rather than the original 250 students.
3. The PLC will analyze unit test data and formal essays at each meeting.
4. Students will evaluate their own writing at least six times during the year.
5. Students will write three diary entries per week using one of the following modes:  literary, expository, persuasive, analytical, or creative. 

Overall, I am pleased with the plan and look forward to meeting with the PLC next week.

Good luck to each of you as you dive in to your ARP!
