H. Reflection& Thoughts: Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest to teach? I think the easiest part of the lesson will be the reading of the story. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the most challenging to teach? The most challenging part to teach in this lesson will be getting students to make connections to The Emperor and the Kite, as not all students will be able to. What lesson or concept should be taught prior to this lesson? Prior to this lesson, students should have been taught how to make inferences and draw conclusions. They should understand how to apply these actions to retelling and comprehending a new story. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? To follow up this lesson, students will take an End-of-Selection test, where they are tested on the vocabulary and comprehension. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? For students who do not grasp the concepts, I will retell The Emperor and the Kite by asking those students specific questions and then reviewing an on-level story map to help summarize. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I do not feel that anything needs to change. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part of this lesson was trying to come up with an activity to assist those who wouldnt grasp the concept.
