This group was instructed to:
+
+
• Investigate ways that we might take already existing sugar activities and encourage more literacy activities-based on our discussion with Walter Bender (This might include revamping the journal, writing lesson plans for teachers, etc.)
+
+
• Think of how we might encourage developers to implement peer review/reflection aspects into the Journal activity by conveying 1) their importance and 2) teacher demand
+
+
• Root all suggestions in current best practices for literacy education and be supported with research
