    Reflection
    What worked: What parts of the lesson led to engagement and student learning? The students were engaged as they watched videos of other performers in their readers theatres. They love nothing more than watching others, especially ones that are as talented as the ones in the videos were. Seeing these performers and being able to assess their performance and find details to make it better helped them in the own performances. There was even a group that was able to perform with props! Improvements: How can you increase student learning, engagement, etc., next time you teach this lesson? Next time I teach this lesson, I will try to condense it down to one practice day and one performance day. Our schedule got moved around a lot due to a snow day, so that made it more hectic than it needed to be. I would also assign roles before the students even saw the script, as well. Overall Implications for your teaching: What did you learn from teaching this lesson that can apply to other lessons? I learned that students learn from modeling. The students in the videos had obviously practiced, and because of that, my students had higher expectations for themselves. This was a great motivational factor for them!
