G. Assessment (answer all questions) Once they have completed the worksheet, they will turn it in the turn in bin. I will read their work to see if they understand how to state their own opinion. There is not an assessment rubric. Since they will be writing about something they should know, then they should be able to focus on how to write their opinion.

H. Reflection (answer all questions) Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest to teach? Their groups. By now they should know which group they are in. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the most challenging to teach? Writing a whole paragraph and combing their ideas from the worksheet. What lesson or concept should be taught prior to this lesson? What is an opinion? How do you state an opinion? How will you follow up this lesson? I will let the students review their worksheets. Then if they want, they can present their worksheets to the front of the classroom. So some students may get a better understanding of how to state your opinion. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I can probably add a cool poster part to this. Or an art activity could be included and they can present that. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? Finding out which standard to use.
