2. If you are selected for the Project and decide to participate in our Outreach program (designed to provide paid in-service to schools and districts), do you agree to allow the Outreach office to act as your "booking agent" and make all arrangements?

Questions 3-7: Respond in a brief paragraph to each of the following questions.

3. Do you enjoy writing? What do you write?

5. Identify a standards-based unit you've taught that involved writing, one that satisfied both you and your students. What other units are you interested in designing?
