Unless MCPS is providing supplementary materials as well?  What is this Extended Writing Project thing?[/quote]

During the Extended Writing Project the students are supposed to go through all the steps and process of writing (brainstorming, outline, rough draft, review, revision, final) to generate a full and comprehensive writing assignment.  The length, depth, and research requirement of this should obviously increase as students go up through the grades.  They should also be covering the different types of writing(Narrative, Argumentative, Persuasive, Expository) that coincides with the reading theme for the quarter.

Also MCPS is hosting three community meetings next week for parents/guardians to preview instructional materials for the second quarter. The “Refrigerator Curriculum” provides a one-page overview of the main themes and texts students will study each marking period.

Secondary curriculum will be previewed Thursday, Oct. 23, 7-8:30 p.m. at Tilden Middle School, 6300 Tilden Lane, Rockville

Elementary curriculum will be previewed Thursday, Oct. 23, 7-8:30 p.m. at Farmland Elementary School, 7000 Old Gate Road, Rockville

MSDE New Math policy will be previewed Tuesday, Oct. 21, 6:30-8 p.m. at Gaithersburg High School, 101 Education Blvd., Gaithersburg[/quote]
