Reflection:
- How would this lesson reflect academic rigor?
The students will hopefully be able to understand that conflict was the main
theme of this story and understand what the term means and how it can apply
to real life
- How would this lesson cognitively engage students?
The lesson allows them to imitate emotions (smiling and frowning), and each
student will get multiple opportunities to share their opinions, answers, and
stories.
