Reflection week 8 RDG556.docx RDG 556 Reflection RDG 556 I reached out to a practicing teacher who also happens to be a neighbor of mine. The feedback from this teacher who has been practicing teaching for over 30 years was that my unit was mostly focused on one story and centered for just the book A Bad Case of Stripes. The title of the unit, who we are is not defined by what others think is a wonderful topic to go over with students at the start of the year however, the focus of that topic should just end with that that story book. The unit should place more focus on how the chosen standards can be incorporated in all the stories chosen for the unit. The standards for this unit are RL.2 2. Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral. All the stories chosen for the unit are folktales. El niNo focuses on the diverse background as it does have integrated words in English and Spanish, it also holds folktales of popular legends from Mexico making the story relatable to students from similar cultures. The juice box bully has a similar lesson to A bad case of stripes about morals and a book that would work for the commencement of the school year. These two stories could be possibly tied in one unit. The two stories, The Lion and the Mouse and The Selfish Crocodile also have a close connection to the unit title and hold valuable lessons to students on how they treat others is how they will be remembered as.
