I particularly liked how you would stop and discuss. That's a great way to check for comprehension. An enhancement would be to use visuals or linguistic supports. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769619 Mon, 04 Apr 2022 08:20:26 -0400 Hi Jamilah, I think that is a great way to engage students.

Also, use adapted text. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769609 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769609 Mon, 04 Apr 2022 08:04:28 -0400 To engage all students, I would have an open discussion about their feelings. What makes them sad, mad, happy? I think SEL learning is important. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769063 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2769063 Mon, 11 Apr 2022 16:15:01 -0400
