 * 3/4/07: Meg - Your objectives and pre-assessment are all relevant and appropriate. I like your instructional activities, which give lots of hands-on work for the students, provide several opportunites for students to demonstrate their understanding, and give you some concrete data to assess. As it is written, your closure is not really closure. You need to rethink how you are going to bring the students all back together to review what they have learned, connect it to prior knowledge for reinforcement, and connect it to what they will be doing next. I think reading the stories aloud is a great idea, but it doesn't wrap up the current activity in a way that flows into the next. Also, your assessment activity is good for your first two objectives, but doesn't assess the third. You will probably have received work from them that will indicate their understanding of transitions and transitional words, but you should include and assessment activity that focuses on them specifically. Lastly, for your next lessons and units for this class, please include all assessment tools you will be using (in this case, the rubric) (Dr. Adamy)**
