Mini-Lessons Cycle 3: Making our Teaching Stick

Day 9: Co-teaching for memorable lessons

Challenge: Elicit the help of another adult to co-teach a writing lesson with you. Choose a lesson where your students will benefit from seeing an accountable discussion about your writing as a model to aspire to.

What kind of preparation did you do for the lesson you co-taught?

Was it sufficient?

How would you plan differently next time?

Were you able to sense a greater level of enthusiasm when students worked with their writing partners today??

If so, can you pinpoint what engaged them the most?
