Assignment 3

After reviewing the sample lesson plan I think that it correlates with common core standards. The lesson also is very comprehensive and incorporates extensive methods to ensure students understand the lesson and keep them engaged. The lesson also helps to build vocabulary and uses gradual release of responsibility method. The lesson has stated student objectives but missing the essential questions. I think there should be more technology implemented in the lesson to encourage inquiry based learning. Although, The lesson invites students to be involved in the learning process by choosing a reading selection that interest them, the students should do more on their own in the learning process. The positive aspects of the lesson is that it encourages student participation which keeps students engaged in the lesson and interest in learning the lesson as well.
