(What Happened?) (What do I think of it? What went well? What could be improved? How? What will I do differently? How does this connect to the theory I have read from class?) I successfully managed to combine and I knew from Instructional Alignment class that teach the two lessons I originally had Direct Instruction is the best instructional planned for the previous day and today. In mode when the teacher needs to cover many other words, I taught two lessons at one materials. Now I experience that Direct extended time.

I had my class totally in control, but I use of metaphor, and social justice issues. was worried that the students were getting bored. Yet, I am sure that students were paying attention most of the time.
