Hailey: Love poem Activated prior knowledge with "como" Look for metaphors in the poem in how he describes love Liked the instruction Matt also enjoyed the instances of discussing Spanish romance as he secretly writes Spanish poetry in his spare time

Audrey: Step by step - very helpful Activating background knowledge was: Maybe frame the text a little bit before we begin

Liz: Megan interupted the lesson by walking in the middle of it: How rude

Great video for building interest Matt says factoring is like "breaking it down" Video helped a ton with background knowledge Kasey is not easily excited... Treat the video as a text Give the kids questions before they read, know what they are looking for during the reading
