 * Questions regarding A2 (other than, have you read mine yet?)
 * Apply your case study to the Ziggurat Model
 * Driving question(s): Can this be used with CCSD models? Would this be used as a localized behavioral intervention analysis and application? If so, how could this be made to be teacher friendly while still maintaining the integrity of the original model? What would you add? What would you delete? Why?
 * Partner up to redesign the Ziggurat Model.
 * During the "break" you will work with your partner to design a 15 minute PPT presentation and forms you would use (or recommend others use) in lieu of the Ziggurat Model.
 * Also, read Chapter 9 Aspy/Grossman.
 * Included with your A2 email (if you haven't already sent it to me) tell me who you are partnering with (by July 11th) so I can assign you a presentation date. This SHOULD take us up to the last day of class.
