I loved listening to the oral presentation of the poem. It was really captivating and truly elicited much emotion inside me. I think this is a huge goal of teaching English: to elicit inner thought, emotion or feeling on a deeper level. This group did a great job of doing just that!

Participated in a united jamboard. Jenn Ramikuvar & I answered number 5. The group did a great job making math (a subject I am not too fond of), super engaging and fun!

I loved how engaging the presentation video was! I will definitely be incorporating more water into my diet, and more daily physical activity (even just 5 minutes), in order to reduce my stress (improving mental health).

Cooperative Learning
I really loved watching this presentation, and learned a lot of very valuable information in regards to cooperative teaching strategies. It was helpful to learn that small groups should remain around 2 - 3 people per group. Also, I think its really notable that educators must be sure not to overuse or underuse cooperative learning practices. I absolutely plan on incorporating small group, poetry activities into my future, English classroom.

Similarities and Differences
3 ways this can be applied in my content area is through Venn Diagrams, small group discussion and research-related assignments that encourage the comparison and contrasting aspects of a topic. In English, that can occur through comparing and contrasting novels and/or authors.

Generating and Testing Hypothesis
I am a huge advocate for asking every and all questions. Growing up, my dad enforced in my head to "always ask questions," and to never shy away from the practice. This being said, I really love this strategy and plan on incorporating many thought-provoking questions related to English content.

Cues and Questions
- 4 types of advanced organizers: expository, narrative, skimming and graphic
- I will use all four types of advanced organizers to help teach 8th grade English
- I will have my students write in daily journals during each class to encourage deeper thinking, and also get to know them on a more personal level (cues to prior knowledge)
- I will be sure to incorporate higher-ordered questions that are open-ended and elicit productive discussion.

Nonlinguistic Representations
- KWL chart was very helpful in getting my mind thinking about the information being discussed in the presentation.
- The presentation discussed several different nonlinguistic representations like graphic organizers, TPEs, and pictographs.
- Wrapped up the lesson with the KWL. It was nice to see the full-circle effect of my KWL question being answered during the lesson lecture.

Setting Objectives & Providing Feedback
-Feedback should be timely, personalized, specific
- Students should also provide feedback
- I will provide consistent feedback to my students by keeping biweekly communication logs with the student and their parents/families.

Homework and Practice
- I plan to assign approximately an hour of homework a day for my students. I believe that because 30 minutes is just a recommendation, I want to teach my students to be high achievers. I believe that part of the 30 minutes can be attributed to simply gathering one's thoughts on the presented task.
- I will decide what to assign based on common core standards and by observing students needs and abilities.
- I will create a homework plan and rubric to include in my syllabus for students to follow throughout the year

Recognizing Effort & Providing Recognition
- Teacher goal: build an attitude in students that leads them to believe that effort or the amount of determination applied to a task is important
- Motivation highly important (intrinsic & extrinsic)
- Reward systems (effective praise)
- I can provide recognition and reward effort through reward systems like social praise, "pause, prompt, praise,"  using symbols (token economies)
- Another way to achieve this is by identifying students' motivations in order to understand how to best reinforce their learning and thought processes
