Reflection:
Was only available to work with 5-1 class. Initial difficulty in getting started, students talkative.
Most worked with their travel partner although each had a Chromebook. Several had difficulty following my written directions (because they didn't read them!) Some spent their time personalizing their home page. Ms. Scroggs stayed and helped students with circulation (checking out new books). Did not have the opportunity to review how to cite a source.
(I lost my asst. to illness at 11 am; a scheduled appt. with principal delayed 5-2 class until 1:50. I had to leave at 2pm to monitor students in the Read 180 lab.)
At the end of the day I reviewed every "Travel Folder". Many students had not written anything about their "main attraction".
