Good teaching resources sentences with person in red and interesting sentences.

Differentiation planned for in terms of reading sentences without the person the being
highlighted.

Areas for development:

Whole class activity the text may need to be bigger to make sure that all stds can see it
Think about how you might support learning for whole class tasks for stds who are less
able? Do you think having the information available might help
Some sentences were challenging in terms of stds level - T scaffolded the reading
experience. Think about the levels and maybe providing scaffolds
Building up on content knowledge and knowing w. Making the outcome explicit at times
today was a bit abstract. What how the author writes or tell the story and being able
to give direct teaching
