THINGS TO USE OR ADAPT FOR MY CLASSROOM: The editing wheel is a nice change and hands-on approach to an activity we have to do frequently TPR (Total Physical Response) was helpful to add variety and get us out of our seats The management cues were helpful and showed us how you manage to tech this lesson in your class The Rocket Book was great The sticky notes and development of the word wall helped us in the generating of specific and rich writing The balance of silent time to think and write with share time made us feel that we had something to contribute to group time Rather than explain what she did in her lesson, she jumped right in and had us do it Call and response words to call for attention Explicit elements labeled and repeated several times in several ways (labels, reciting, singing, etc)

SUGGESTIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS Use the document camera to show the pictures in the read aloud Make the corrections to the model letter in a different color so we can see the revisions
