__Power Tools For Adolescent Literacy__ Peruse the book and place a post-it note on the pages of those strategies and activities that pique your interest. Narrow your choice down to three. In your new group of four, share the strategy/activity with your group, why you chose that one and how you might use it in your classroom.

__Creating Learner Centered and Literacy Rich Classrooms__ Using the template below to guide your thinking, develop a lesson that you plan to use in the first week or two of school. Draw from what you learned over the past two days to create a lesson that reflects a strong emphasis on student engagement and supporting students' literacy.

When finished, post your lesson on the Lesson Page of this wiki.
