Assessment or project developed in the current year of evaluation
 * During this week's classes, students made a movie trailer for the play //Oedipus//
 * One student's final product (video) for this project is too large to post online, but is available upon request

An assessment that reflects cumulative questions
 * Students completed grammar diagnostic assessment online during this day's lesson
 * Topic was a review of phrases taught in October
 * Goal was to get formative data to use to plan this month's grammar review lessons

School Improvement Action Plan Implementation
 * You are looking at it. I made it a very important goal of mine to reduce my paper usage this year.

Examples of Differentiated Instruction (planning)
 * This day's lesson plan shows how students were given three options:
 * writing and presenting (with visuals) a script for a one-minute movie trailer about a play we read
 * actually making a movie trailer (for extra credit) for the play we read
 * taking the 40-point multiple-choice test on the play we read

Final Exam/Mid-term Analysis & alignment with final course grades
 * not completed this year because it is my first year back in the classroom after 5 years on special assignments
