Inspiration comments

Erika: Where the Wild Things Are
  Your diagram/presentation was very easy to follow and the color themes all went together. The only thing I thought could be improved was the diagram thing. Will this have been taught previously? If so, awesome!

Jacqueline: Word discovery in "Fun with Dick and Jane"
   Word detective was an awesome idea! That's a fun way to introduce the dictionary! Sounds great! The tall tale was awesome! Didn't quite understand the directions for the tic-tac-toe.

Mary Katherine: Corduroy
   Have fun! I think they'll have fun with the "find that button" activity. It makes the story applicable to them and that's a great "sub-lesson" for them to learn early.

Jennifer: Earth's biomes
   Very creative! I think the kids would really enjoy that. Could use some more technology interaction, but other than that, you did great!

Amanda: Context Clues
   I like how you get them to act out the chapter in the beginning as opposed to the end. You get a clear analysis of how well they know what they are reading/comprehending. It's is very involved! As long as the rules for all these activities are established, great job!

Jordan: Hurricane Force
   Hurricanes are what most students around here can relate to. That's an advantage and disadvantage of this lesson. You have a good flow to increasing the skill of learning about hurricanes. Awesome!

Jonathan: World War 2
  Your class seems very competitive! Eighth graders really enjoy that. I like how you tied an event back to them today. It's important to connect generations!
