Station Explanation
Each of the four stations has approximately 45 minutes of planned content each week, with station specific goals for students to complete.
Students are given two 15-minute stations per day, after the 15 minute group station, to work on any of the four stations.
The purpose of this structure is to cover the broad range of topics in English 3 and 4, as well as to allow students a measure of control over the structure of the daily class, and their week.
