> *Benchmarks Completed - April 7th > *Weekly planning phone calls on Monday nights with mini-deadlines & weekly objectives set (April 4, 11, 18, 25) > *Objectives/items completed by the following Monday > *regular communication via discussion posts > > I feel that Samantha is very detail-oriented. She has caught many of my mistakes so far! Although I don't have extensive experience with collaboration, I believe in the benefits and am eager to learn more about this practice. I'm strive to apply reflection in all areas of my practice. This will look different for a collaborative partnership, but I feel my past experiences will enhance this aspect of our planning and instruction. I feel that I am very organized. I also am not afraid to use new technologies in the classroom. I enjoy working collaboratively and coteaching.
 * 1) A schedule for future collaborative planning sessions. You **MUST** include a real schedule for completing A.4.2 for LS5443:

 * 1) Strengths brought to the partnership **and this lesson/unit** by Person B (Nicole Ellis):

5. How the administrator has been informed of the collaborative planning in process. This is not to ask for permission, but rather to build his/her knowledge to nurture him/her as an advocate for classroom-library collaboration: Research skills were identified by the campus (via faculty meetings, department planning meetings, and instructional leadership meetings) as one campus-wide area of instructional focus for the year. Ms. Fleming is serving her first year as school librarian and was eager to collaborate with Mrs. Ellis, a teacher with six years of classroom experience. This will be the first classroom teacher-librarian collaborative experience for Ms. Fleming; however, Mrs. Ellis has previous positive experiences with the former librarian as would like to continue these experiences. Ms. Fleming notified the administrators of her collaborative activities with Mrs. Ellis via her biweekly library activities report and a short presentation at a weekly instructional leadership meeting.

**Note:** Answer each of these questions here on the rubric.

**5 Additional Points:** Each of these is listed or described **on the planning form** (**one point each**):

//-//Note taking/Bibliography Skills utilizing a graphic organizer - mini-lesson taught by S. Fleming, Librarian - Research using electronic resources - supervised by N. Ellis and S. Fleming (mini-lessons by S. Fleming for those     students who need it) - Tagging a location and inserting information into a Google Earth file- taught by N. Ellis - Both Mrs. Ellis and Ms. Fleming will monitor as students work, providing guidance and reteaching when necessary. 4. Technology tools integration (or explanation of why technology is not part of the lesson/unit): The students will complete research using electronic resources and complete their portion of the final product on Google Earth. 5. Materials (consumables such as graphic organizers, notemaking tools, art supplies):
 * 1) **Relevance** to students’ lives (Why should students learn this? Why will they care?): For the purposes of this project, the students should know how to find and organize information and work on a collaborative project. The students will be interested in this project because it is about a novel they are currently reading in their History class and because they get to view the locations of the historical novel on Google Earth.
 * 2) Responsibilities for gathering or creating resources:
 * 3) Student Rubric - in progress
 * 4) Educator Rubric - in progress
