To commemorate Earth Day, I first placed on the board a list of environmental issues (pollution ,global warming, etc.) and proposed remedies (recycling, etc) . I also placed in the list of issues and remedies items that were unrelated and had Lena identify and eliminate items that were irrelevant . After viewing a short video about Rachel Carson and the writing of the book ,"Silent Spring", we then read an excerpt from the novel. I placed on the board some questions about the reading and directed Lena to areas of the text to locate a response.Lena then placed answers to the questions in her notebook in full sentiences. She did very well in today's session.
