As Consortium teachers, we have the opportunity to design and implement content and thinking-rich projects that not only push our students to learn in complex and meaningful ways but also contribute to making the world a better place.

But how do we systematically and intentionally provide students with the right experiences in reading and writing within our disciplines to build their skills in a balanced way as part of planning our projects? This workshop explores the creation of Text Sets, collections of related texts organized around a problem, topic, expedition, concept, or idea, that allow students to build their reading skills. 

After two intense sessions, you will leave with a planning calendar and readings that will hopefully make your planning (and photocopying) more manageable for the upcoming semester!
