1. Select an assessment technique (1-10) from Lemov that you’d like to implement for the first time in your classroom. Share with your peers why and how you would go about implementing it.

Part 2
4.4: Discussion: Role Model:
Hopefully you have found a (or more than one) role model in your residency placement to help you sort out who you will be as a teacher. Often people we admire in professional practice provide evidence of areas of our own practice that we would like to develop. Respond to the following questions:
- What characteristics make your role model so admirable?
- Which actions most encapsulates and typifies what it is you so admire?
- Which abilities would you most like to borrow and integrate into your own teaching
Reminder: 10th grade English, we have covered Lord of the Flies novel, we are just starting Night by Elie Weisel. We will also cover Macbeth and The Giver the second half of the year. I will send you the other parts shortly, I just have to upload them. I need this asap because it was due today and I totally forgot about it. Much appreciated as always.
