Reflection on lesson:
I loved teaching this lesson! Students were engaged and were about to easily make connections
to the text due to the visuals I used throughout the lesson. I chose to do this lesson primarily as
a whole group, direct instruction format because the majority of the students in this class are on
the same reading level. I did not have to differentiate my instruction due to different levels of
comprehension. At the beginning of this lesson, I wish I had spent more time reviewing the
bigger picture of main idea, and the importance of mastering the literacy skill. The students
loved the ice cream idea on the anchor chart, and loved volunteering to share their ideas. As we
moved into independent practice, the students enjoyed drawing their own ice cream cones. I
gave them the option to draw a graphic organizer if it helped them visualize the idea of
supporting the main idea better. I was very pleased with the assessment results because I feel
like I am helping them truly master the art of finding main idea, and providing the evidence to
support their thoughts using context clues. The exit ticket provided me the feedback I needed to
determine if I needed to spend another day reviewing main idea and supporting details, and will
help me in the future to answer the questions they still have after the lesson and activities.
Overall, I am pleased with the results of this lesson and plan to use it in the future as a
professional teacher.
