=GBSwrites = ===      Introduction  === Three years ago the Glenbrook South English/ELL/Broadcasting Department began discussing a vision for what we wanted a graduate to "look like" when she graduated. While the discussions provided a forum for opinions, the vision was not specific enough to provide guidance for curriculum and instruction. These discussions have been brought to academic teams, but have not been addressed in a cohesive departmental manner since the initial discussions.

Through department surveys and discussions, the decision was made to focus on writing during the 2008-2009 school year.

This wikispace will give us the opportunity to participate in discussion about writing and writing assessment and the shaping of the writing skills that we know every student who graduates from GBS should have.
