Relatable to myself and what students will experience https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2821308 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2821308 The line from the passage I loved and connected to is “That’s when everything I’ve been holding in since this morning, since when Mrs. Price put the sweater on my desk, finally lets go, and all of sudden I’m crying in front of everybody “. I chose this line because, I can relate to students and have witnessed students have meltdowns. It can happen to anyone, when a student is overwhelmed, frustrated, upset, and emotions overtake them. This also can happen when a student becomes frustrated when they don’t comprehend the content due to their language proficiency.

They will discuss a time that they had a experience similar to Rachel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2821296 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2821296 I would engage all students with the short story through “Literary Response Groups”. Each student in each group will read a section of the story. Each time the numbers in the story are read, the group will read the numbers together aloud. I will also have students read aloud together any sentences/passages that are repeated in the story. Afterwards students will share a time that they felt emotions like Rachel’s in the form of discussions. Thu, 12 May 2022 14:16:14 -0400
