As I prepare for some professional development with teachers in Savannah (presentation here), I have gone back through the GaDOE Inspire system to locate additional literacy learning cycles. More have been added, and so I am glad to share the updated link list below! I know there are additional plans still coming; I will share them as soon as I have them.

Additionally, these plans are editable, which is fantastic. And to that end, I’ve made some small changes to some of the activities and articles. Feel free to use them and revise them to suit your needs!
