Chapter 10
So, I do my lesson plan next week and it's on deeper reading. Just so happens that this week we are reading chapter 10. Gallagher gives many great ideas in this chapter, so I am modeling my lesson plan activity after vocabulary predictions, with a little bit of my own twist. At first it started out well, but now I am feeling like it's not really coming together like I thought it would. I know I am probably just making it harder than it really should be, but everyone has done such a great job so far that I feel like it's a hard act to follow. I want my students to become familiar with deeper reading so they can tackle those hard texts that Gallagher talks about on page 197. On page 198, Gallagher talks about what a difference a teacher can/can't make in their students reading. I want to be one of those teachers that can make a difference. I also want to be finished and ready for my lesson on Monday.

I also liked this chapter, and in particular, Gallagher's emphasis of making a difference. I want to be one of those teachers that everyone remembers, not because my class was easy, but because they had fun learning a concept or idea.

I'm sure your lesson will be great. Everyone has done a great job so far, and your topic sounds great. After all, deeper reading is something that can/will affect every aspect of a student's education. I think it's one of the most important things that we can teach and implement in our classrooms.
