would the changes improve the learning of students with different needs and
characteristics? (TPE 13)
If I were to go back and teach the same learning segment to the same group of students, I
would first plan to give myself and my students more time. Upon reflection on their
assessments, I would also plan to write out a letter as class in addition to providing them
with a sample letter. As we write the letter out as a class, I would highlight the arguments
and the supporting details. For the counterarguments, I would not only highlight the
supporting details, but also point out why it is in fact a counterargument to the arguments
already given. In regards to the assessment, I would not change it because the goal is for
them to take a stand by persuading Rush Limbaugh to apologize for mocking the Chinese
language. The improvements in planning and instruction will better assist the students in
writing extremely powerful and sophisticated letters. With more explicit instruction, all
students will have access to the material and be able to produce their best work in the end.
