the paper. After they are finished drawing, they will need to find a partner at their table
group and tell them what they would say to convince them to buy them that pet. would

Reflection

This was not my favorite lesson that I taught. I tried to plan it with my students in mind,
but it still did not quite hit the mark. I planned it so they could talk to each other since
my students do not do a lot of writing in class. I planned for them to draw for several
minutes and then discuss with their peers for several minutes, but this did not happen.
Several students drew in about 30 seconds, and then chose a partner and discussed for
a few seconds. I expected this to last at least 10 minutes and some students finished in
one. That meant that they were on the floor playing while others were still working. I
should have made my expectations clear from the beginning. I would have all children
draw for at least 5 minutes and then model for the students what I wanted the
conversation to look like. I did model this, but only to the few students sitting on the
floor at the time. If I could do it over, I would bring all the students to the carpet to
model for everyone, then I think more students would have been successful.
