__QUICK WRITE__ Needs to know what it takes for a seed to develop into a tree-what seeds need to grow-temperature, sunlight, photosynthesis, water, nutrients, carbon dioxide, germination, soil composition, What do you mean extra material? Need to be able to read critically and understand what is being asked.

__SEED and TREE= Construct an Essential Map__

We took each standard one at a time and discussed where we thought it should go and got them in a preliminary spot. We then continued to move them until we were satisfied. After we taped them down and then began the activity of drawing the arrows and doing the vertical alignment we were a little bit unsure and it required much discussion. K-2-we got the standards in the right area but our order was reversed. 3-5- we had 2 standards out of place and one that needed to be moved to 9-12. 6-8 the ones we had were correct but we were missing 2. 9-12 we were correct except for one standard. We felt we did an OK job and had some good discussion about the progression.
