Overview of CITW

The first session in the workshop series is the Overview.  Below are the presenter notes from this session. The title at the top of each box is of course the instructional strategy.  The addition text in each box are notes as to the activity the participants would do or what they would write or discuss at that time. At the conclusion of these notes, 18 participants were randomly given a card with notes or a strategy.  Playing "I have..., Who has..." participants reviewed all 9 strategies once more.
