__**Analysis**__**:** It was very difficult for me to complete my language arts lesson plan by Friday. Professor Mary Hoyt developed her lesson plan format in a very unique fashion (each section is broken up into three different packets). Throughout the semester, we were required to complete the lesson plan by each individual section. We finally received the second section of our lesson on Tuesday April 29. It was very difficult to complete the entire lesson plan by Friday because I was in need of several revisions (this lesson plan format was very difficult for me to understand). Out of the three different packets, I was able to complete the first two by Friday. Although I realize that our portfolios were due Friday, May 1st, I managed to complete the remainder of the lesson plan along with the reflection. I understand that I might not receive full credit for this portion of my portfolio; I simply didn't want to give the impression that I was "blowing off" the assignment. I also worked very hard on the lesson and I wanted it to be apart of my portfolio. Although Professor Hoyt did not require a rubric, I created one for the purpose of this project. Please be aware that the format is different from any of the other lesson plans. I was obviously not able to gather any sample student work for this project.

This thematic lesson plan was designed for a 4th grade class. The lesson draws a thematic connection between three stories: 1). Frindle 2). The Landry News 3). The School Story
