Reflection on Lesson Design

Design:

As a teacher, I built on their prior knowledge of story

format and their understanding of trying to defend an

action with an argument. I used individual student

work to facilitate knowledge and idea sharing. I used
whole class instruction as well as individual instruction
to facilitate learning.

Cultural Relevance:

Actions:

As an educator, I was able to employ culturally

relevant teaching by creating a learning environment
that honors all students knowledge and
understandings.

As an educator, I will take more time to locate

resources for my students. I will utilize more
information online as well as information in the
textbook to connect all information.
