Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.) My main reason for doing this lesson is to help prepare students for the higher level vocabulary in To Kill a Mockingbird. My hope is that by tackling some of the more difficult vocabulary, students will not be deterre d by it. I dont want the students thinking that the novel is over their heads, and To Kill a Mockingbird is a central piece of literature in American culture, and deserves full attention in the classroom.
