Video Blog - After The Lesson

The lesson went well. I modeled everything for them and we went through the lesson step by step and they followed along well. The students seemed genuinely engaged in the activity when I thought they would be distracted by all of the extra people in the classroom. The only problem I had was that it was difficult to get them to answer questions for me. It seemed like everytime I asked a question noone wanted to answer. I kept getting the same child answering my questions. This child is a gifted/talented student and always answers questions quickly in every class. Other than that, the students enjoyed the read-aloud we started with and ended with. Looking back, I think I would ask more questions as we are reading the book so I can make sure they are listening and to reinforce the information in the book.
