I feel like I have the steps I need in my design process, but they are are all over the place. I know that I have two audiences, students and teachers. Ultimately I want to have my students succeed in all literacy skills. I have been working with OCDE Project GLAD which includes different usage of modalities for students to use and improve in comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and it can all transfer into Spanish. GLAD (guided language acquisition design) helps students visualize and internalize new literacy information. My second audience are other teachers that are looking for ways to help their own students improve literacy skills. Teachers will have a place to see videos and sample lesson plans that work in increasing students comprehension skills in both English and Spanish. I am still struggling grasping the word "prototype" it is still messing me up. I am sill unsure of what is needs to look like. I keep hearing that it can be anything but my original mind map seemed too simple. My next steps are to upload all my pictorials, student work, chants, and somehow print their storyboardthat comprehension boards. Honestly I feel like using GLAD strategies makes transliteracy experiences more accessible to my students. It's no longer worksheets, but students are absorbing the pictorials, are staying engaged with literacy awards, and are applying their knowledge through storyboardthat.com and transferring that to essay writing. I still have a lot to do, the ideas are there I just need to organize and fill out all boxes along the way.

I am still on the creating phase of the prototype and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Looking at other prototypes I am not quite sure how I should set mine up. Once I created the table of contents things started falling into place, but I am still struggling. I know what I'm going to do and I have all my notes written down but I am still not sure how to turn those into a map. I guess my success is that I have my unit planned out and know the steps I am going to take to have my students complete the lesson. As I keep searching for map options I just have to keep telling my self it is a draft and it can be changed if needed.
