Getting Organized  Make a big pile of your stuff  Grab some post-its and highlighters  Go through all your materials—schedules, writing prompt handouts, demo packets, articles, etc.—making notes of things you want to remember and use in some way.  Punch and put your materials into your binder in a way that makes sense to you and is easily retrievable.

Why? How? And When?  After you write the plan, identify the most important areas for you and move them to the top of the plan  Share your draft plan with your inquiry group to receive feedback and exchange ideas and revise your action plan
