Planning and Preparation

Notebook looks excellent. Keep writing those long form plans..we will transition soon.
Parent letter in notebook – good

Like your math lesson remediation plan….reminds me of “My favorite NO strategy” did I ever share that with you?

Classroom Environment
Students return from lunch like angels….they are ready to learn. They easily move to SMBD for anticipatory set ..Grammar
Jammer..good find, they enjoyed it.

Instructional Delivery
Anticipatory set: Video and song…it is now stuck in my head 😊

After video, ASK what they got from it…as far as definitions ….instead of telling right away.

As you transition to the “what does it mean piece” consider a visual for action verb (chart or cards?)…a visual here to post those
definitions and examples for long after you are done with this lesson might be useful? I do like the variety though you had them DO
it could use both.

Nice turn and talk here to come up with an action verb. Gave a chance for a few to share, take mental note to make sure you call
on many different students if not using any stick picks, etc.

I like the “thinking” idea can’t always see action verb..good point.

Nice idea to have visual for linking verbs! I like how you showed how the verb was linking the rest of the sentence.
Like the fill-in slide and how many students were able to participate.

Good work identifying the subject first and then the linking verb. I like the higher level skill here…Would you then leave them with
a list of linking verbs?.... Remembering level of Bloom?

Transition back to seats, smooth no loss of instructional time, very prepared with materials.

Word Sort great idea like the use of check before glue high expectations and assessment piece.
Using of words in sentences..see notes above about sentences..but really like how you asked Action or Linking when they shared.

Assessment: SMBD, Sort – visual/ Notes make it quantitative)

Collection of sentence papers. (this is quantitative)

Professionalism
