Notes:
Scale for Meeting Lesson Objectives
With help/prompting, the student is still not able to read through material or recall information
from it.

By flipping though a book like Seslam, looking for
the butterfly pictures, the teacher gives tools for
bellow level readers to use to find the right spots
in the information.
Success: Students shared well with partners the collaboration seemed to tease out different
pieces of information from each student, and they respected the responsibility to
have both peoples research represented on their fused outline.
The post-reflection seemed really effective student reflection cards showed me a
good level of basic and detailed understanding.
Struggles: This was too much to try to do in one lesson students need to learn how to read and
do key word outlining as a separate lesson where the content itself is easy to
understand and not as important. The modeling would have been more effective, but
it was too much to tackle in one lesson.
Students needed more time with the resources.
The anticipatory set was effective for stirring up what students already know, but not
for generating interest or excitement.
Future Ideas: Make key-wording part of the pre-knowledge for the lesson.
Possibly break the lesson over two days so students have time to learn what
information is important, read in class, and do a little more reading on their own as
homework before coming together in pairs or groups to share and fuse outlines.
