After listening to the read-aloud, they are asked 5-6 questions, recalling what happened in the story's plot. The teacher is assessing the responses. Other than that, there is no formal assessment of this lesson.

I am using picture sequences so my low English speakers have a role in participation. After the sequence, I will have them describe the main character, Toad, in each part of the story. They will then ask three questions about the story by writing them on sticky notes.

I will evaluate their ability to ask a question and answer a question. This will be done using the rubric the student teacher created at the beginning of the year. This rubric outlines how to ask a good question and answer a question in a complete sentence.

I have also enjoyed thinking about how to take boring questions that have taken engagement away from my lessons into high-level thinking tasks. I look forward to continuing this practice in all my slides this next school year.

I need to take time to focus on what is most important. I can see that student talk is a newer concept for me to consider within lessons. I know that this will have to be one that I improve over a few years. I know that it will be essential for me to reevaluate my improvements at the end of the year to know what the next step is.

-How can I facilitate this instructional practice in another language?
