I found that the concept attainment activity was quite challenging for students. As we were doing the activity, I noticed there were too many words on the cards; phrases were too long. This made it challenging for my struggling readers in this class. Also, there were way too many cards so the activity took a while to do. If I could reteach this activity, I would re-design the cards. I plan on having just two categories rather than four and simplifying the phrases so that there are less words on each card. Using pictures instead of words is another idea I would look into when re-designing this activity.

We have started the 'Why Keep Germs Away' handout but many students didn't get to finish it. They were asked to continue this for morning work the next day.
