Reflection

- Silent reading worked well! Each student read at their own pace as I was assessing oral reading of individual students. - I was worried that if I let them read on their own they wouldn't read thoroughly to comprehend the story. To my surprise, most of them understood the story way better than when we read aloud as a group. All of the students including JM actively participated in the story discussion! - I think students enjoyed writing about their personal connection to the story. One thing I would do differently is give out clear expectations for the assignment (ex: to write in complete sentences).
