For this IPC #2
This is my reflections on the second IPC for the UACT program. For this reading the text "Revolution Shuffle" by Boa Phil in the book Octavia's Brood. I choose this book for it's collection of short stories with characters that reflect my student population at Excel Public Charter School. I selected Revolution Shuffle because of the outcome of the recent elections a lot of my students had fears based on what may or may not happen with the new administration. This text was also selected because of the characters and story used to communicate the author's vision. Boa Phi main characters are Vietnamese with the main protagonist be strong female character. These criteria makes the story especially appealing since it is something …show more content…
In this class I have 28 learners with 7 SPED, 4 with behavioral IEPs, and one with one on one. In this mix one student Kieran. had multiple insights (8:08) which only proved his intelligence and insights are there if he and the others are given a chance. Also, during this reading the recording was limited to a partial classroom look since one camera was down for maintenance.
During the reading it was difficult to get the class into a complete listening mode, however this was more due to their excitement than behavior. As you can see in multiple time, learners where eager to offer their ideas to the discussion. The first insight was just :055 into the recording, with the discussion of figurative language used by the author. I think exchange shows the lack of figurative language that the learners have been exposed to. However, after a brief discussion the learners were able to have an ah ha moment and see the picture the authors was painting for them.

Think about a specific moment from the text based discussion, you have continue to think about form the lesson. Cite the specific moment in the video clip. Why is this moment memorable? What did you do that felt particular successful or challenging?
The I have two moments I think about. The first is at 8:08 when Kieran, discusses with the class his idea of the story so far. Kieran is a highly intelligent white learner who is has a history of behavioral issues in the school. His issues arise from not being challenge, and in this exchange, his intellect is on full display. He showed a great comprehension and academic courage to bring the main points of the story to the rest of the class. The second point is 20:42 when we as a class discuss the history of internment camps in the United States. This was one of those unexpected moments when new knowledge is brought into the classroom. The growth my learners showed in that moments will have ripple throughout the year and I am so glad it came with the class I thought needed the most help.
What changes would you, is you had the opportunity to teach this lesson again?
