minutes the story. I will ask students how they might be able to find the
answers to the questions (i.e. by memory, by looking through the
poem) To aid in understanding, we will do one example on the board

one thumb in the air when they have completed this task. As a class,
we will review the answers. This will give students a chance to share
their work, as well as receive feedback on their work.

2. Students will be given 4 sentences that have incorrect punctuation

and/or misspelled words. This portion will be done as a class; I will

answers as to what is wrong with the sentences. The sentence will
then be changed until it is a complete and correct sentence that the
 students will then copy onto their assignment sheet. Students will be
asked to raise two thumbs in the air when they are done their task.

instructor, but allow the students to self-assess as well.
