/ritical ThinkingA$eflection? !.ain 1dea" %esson? #howing diversity 1 chose this lesson because 1 think it shows that 1 consider diversity in my teaching due to the fact that it is a reading lesson for a small number of students that has been grou ed together based on ability. (hile meeting with this grou , the other students were artici ating in center activities, again allowing for differentiated instruction. The lesson was effective because the book we read was a ro riate for their reading level. +nother reason it was effective was because it was sim le and straightforward, and 1 did not try to teach too many new ideas in one sitting. 1t was engaging because it was a book about winter, something they could all relate to and with which they all had ex erience. 1t held their interest because 1 allowed them to talk about their ersonal ex erience with winter. The thing 1 would change about this lesson would be to include a !closing" where 1, or the students, briefly summari=ed what was learned in the lesson. This lesson was standards based. 1t addressed the following standards? $%.&.1 5with rom ting and su ort, ask and answer )uestions about key details in a text6, $%.&.1*
