Reflection: Describe how you will use data collected and analyzed for this lesson to
inform future instructional decisions for each group of students (i.e., those who exceed,
meet, approach AND fall far below the standard for meeting the objective of the lesson.
This lesson is taught on Monday, we read the News-2-You each day during 4th period to
ensure students get multiple exposures to the news articles. With the information from
my lesson I will accurately be able to identify the activities that should be completed
Tuesday-Friday with the article. If most students cannot meet the expectation the first
lesson I will tailor Tuesdays lesson to look at the information again before moving onto
the vocabulary of the lesson.
