Discussion Practice Task Bank
The MSCA sponsors a Discussion Practice Task Bank, which provides tasks to use for coaching/practicing. Only those who contribute to the Task Bank receive the tasks.
Here's how it works:
*You send me two tasks, one from each section of the outline (Section I and Section II).
*The format must be as follows:
-Embed tasks right in an email, NOT via Google Drive or as an attachment
-Identify the Section and subpoint, then type the task; for example:
I D: here is the text of my task
If your task covers more than one section, you can list that as:
II E-G, J: and then the text of the task
This year's deadline for submission is December 10, 2021, submitted to jsaxtonwest@northfieldschools.org.
*By December 20, I will send you a document that contains all of the tasks that have been submitted. You are then free to use the tasks as they are, or edit them to meet your coaching needs. Remember, these tasks cannot be used in competition.
*If you are new to task-writing and would like to see sample tasks, or to see what the formatting looks like, please see last year's task bank.
Happy researching and task-writing!
