I am familiar with the CCSS literacy standards, so I would like to discuss the science standards further.  In addition, the template mentions the Next Generation Science Standards, and I would like to discuss those further. 

I have an understanding of the science and literacy standards but would like some clarifying information on the NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 

It's not an important piece at this moment, but Part VIII has me questioning what this is supposed to look like and if there is a reference somewhere that could help in determining what prior knowledge is needed. 

I would like to discuss further how to create Part V (Essential Question) since I think it is going to be very important to have a unit guiding question that really connected to the standards but also guides the students enough to get them to learn the required information but does not limit them in their learning or inquiry process. 

I agree with Amy. I am really interested in the direction to take with the essential question(s). I think most of the parts of the template are fairly self-explanatory, but I want to get the standards chosen and essential questions written to drive the focus of the lesson design. I want to have enough connection around these things that I don't feel boxed into the project template.

I'm also interested in discussing Part V (Essential Question). How open ended or debatable can it become? Are we tied to just one essential question or could we create supporting driving questions for each section/portion of our text(s)?

Discussions on NGSS crosscutting concepts, deconstructing standards and creating essential questions would be of great benefit.

I am interested in working with my team to breakdown the literacy standards we chose during our time together and to see if they are still relevant to where our project is going. 

We are still working on our standards that we are addressing so I am looking forward to that as well as learning more about the essential question we are using. 

I agree with Robin, as the direction for the math standards are currently up in the air. I look forward to learning more about the essential question. 

I am looking forward to really breaking down our essential question.  Getting the perfect question that is understandable, debatable, real world and engaging to the students.  The essential question is what needs to keep them going the entire project and what they should always be referring back to. 

I would like more information on NGSS crosscutting concepts, as that is new to me. I am also interested in seeing what form the essential question(s) take and how we will use those to drive the project. 

I am interested to see how we can incorporate three different content objectives together for our project (English, science and math) and still allow it to flow into our curriculum seemlessly.
