Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and
engagement, as well as ideas for improvement for next time. (Write this after
teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson,
focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I did not teach this lesson. After teaching lesson two I realized that this book was too
long and had hard vocabulary for my class. I also noticed that the students had trouble
staying focused during lesson two. The class likes to color and write, I think they
would have enjoyed coloring the Pilgrims. The questions that I prepared would have
been good for the students to think about. I could have incorporated partner
sharing/talking to answer some of the questions. The problem with having so many
questions throughout the book is that its hard to bring back the students focus back to
the reading of the book.
