(REQUIRED) 1.
Other than what is stated in the lesson plan(s), what occurred immediately prior to and
after the video clip(s) that is important to know in order to understand and interpret the
interactions between and among you and your students? Please provide any other
information needed to interpret the events and interactions in the video clip(s).
As outlined in the lesson plan, what occurred immediately prior to the first clip was a review
of the previous lessons. Immediately after the first clip, the students were working in
groups coming up with possible arguments to persuade Rush Limbaugh to apologize and as
well as counterarguments Limbaugh may have for not wanting to apologize. After the
students have discussed their arguments and counterarguments, the second clip starts with
students reporting their answers to create a T-Chart of arguments and counterarguments
they could use in their persuasive letters. Immediately after the clip, students asked
clarifying questions and were given line paper to write their persuasive letters. As they
began writing, I circulated the classroom to keep students on task and also answer
questions they had.
