Teaching Reflection
This lesson effectively engaged students in analyzing rules through reading and writing. Students understood Alice's feelings and Dr Know's perspective well. However, some struggled to use must ,have to, and can't correctly in writing. Next time,I'll provide more sentence starters and peer-check prompts to support weaker students. Overall, students participated actively and improved their ability to express opinions about rules.
