Lesson This lesson is intended for me to get to know my students a bit better. By having them answer the
Rationale questions, it gives me a better understanding of what my students need to be successful in the classroom
(how can I differentiate, accommodate, or modify my lessons for students?). Further, I hope this can help
me develop stronger relationships with my students. Overall, students are building literacy skills and they
are also developing their sense of identity.

Reflection: Again, in my first lesson, there could have been more clarity in some instructions. Students were
confused about what format they should use to answer the questions (e.g., many were wondering if they had to
write their answers out sentence by sentence, so I told my second class to just write 1, 2, 3, etc.). The second
time around I clarified some of the questions such as number 5. I told students it could be a good or bad
experience, and I let students know if they couldn’t come up with an answer, they did not have to answer a
question. Some students in the first class refused to draw a picture which is fine, but for my second class, I
really encouraged students to try and draw a picture even if they were not good drawers. Overall, I enjoyed
using this as an icebreaker because I got to tell students a bit more about myself as did they. I want to build a
relationship with these students, so I think it’s a good start in understanding them further as people and how
they learn. A student also came out to me in their card which was really awesome!!!
