people are alike because we both show feelings.

Evidence of Learning and Reflection
Data Analysis: Required beginning October 12
● What does your formative/ summative evidence tell you about
student attainment of the learning target and alignment to
your benchmarks?
● How many students meet the learning target according to your
benchmark? How many did not?
● What are the gaps or challenges for students who did not meet
the target?
Reflect on Practice
● How did the lesson go? What is informing your thinking about
the lesson?
● What worked well within the lesson?
● What are some things you would change about the lesson?
● How has this experience helped shape your understanding
about teaching and learning?
● Based on this lesson, what are some areas of growth?
asking questions to make sure students understand teaching points What was
this book about? ( what dogs are really saying) Dogs use their bodies to say
things and show how they are feeling. You can tell if a dog is friendly, happy,
afraid, angry, by watching and listening to it. Thinking beyond the text: dogs have
feelings about people and events. In some ways, dogs are like people. It is good
to understand how dogs talk. Students were able to use their schema about dogs
and make personal connections to the text. Jillian- My dog Oster wags his tail and

what do i want to do next time. What worked, what didn’t. answer every
question in reflect & practice box. This lesson went really well. Students were
engaged and excited to learn more about how dogs communicate their feelings.
The students had great fluency even though it was the first time they were asked
to read all together out loud. I heard pauses for commas and periods. I also heard
inflection and change in vocal tonality for exclamation marks. I would not change
anything about the lesson. I feel it was extremely successful and all students met
or exceeded the learning targets.
Students were able to practice their flow and vocal expressions, which is
something that all great readers do.
