Decisions Made: none

General Minutes: Questions/ Concerns that came up:
 * Each person used a different method for grading/assessing Type 1 writing. We need clarification about grading Type 1. Should we agree on one method (with some flexibility)?
 * Should we have some consistent minimum standards for Type 1?
 * How often should Type 1 writing happen in a classroom?
 * Can we get copies of the book for everyone?
