Although her questions were great, I felt there should have been a little more hands-on section, for children to show what they have learned individually. By doing this, it will benefit, you, the teacher to see where each student is at and what they have accumulated throughout the reading. Rubric 8: Deepening Student Learning is graded on a level 4 as well. Asking students questions and student responses to build upon and explicitly portray, extend and clarify literacy strategy. The candidate did ask valuable questions but wish she would have allowed interactions among students for them to evaluate their own ability for the essential strategy in the written
