PART III IMPLEMENTATION

What worked for you during the lesson? What did not work? What changes would you make when you teach this lesson again to make it more effective?

During the lesson my initial hook grasped the students attention and made them interested in the lesson. Also through my lesson the students successfully grasped what a theme was. Overall I believe everything worked in my lesson. If I had to change anything I would of found a longer book and have the students read the book aloud instead of me doing so.
