Reflection on lesson: This lesson went very well and the students seemed excited
to be working with different types of poetry and learning about women that most
hadnt heard of before. Some feedback that I got from my cooperating teacher
was to remind them of their reading strategies (annotating using the DAB
strategy) and giving them specific time limits to do things. The students took a lot
of time to read the short about me on the woman they were studying, so next
time I would definitely include specific time parameters for them to read and
annotate, brainstorm, and then write their poems. We unfortunately didnt get to
finish the venn diagram,
