According to her retelling of the story, she understands what have happened in the story but her story is not organized. To help her organize her thoughts and retell the story in sequence, I will introduce her to sequencing words. Using sequencing words such as first, second, third, next, after, in the beginning, middle, and at the end will help her organize her thoughts about what she has read and then orally express using these words. The strategy that I will use to improve Ina’s writing is introducing her to punctuations. I will introduce punctuations makes, give her examples of how to use them and then I will ask her to make her own sentences using punctuation marks. Having this activity will help her see examples, practice, understand and learn punctuations herself. Another activity that she can practice with the whole class, is that I will give different students punctuation marks and different sentences in a laminated paper without punctuations. Together as a whole class, students will suggest which punctuation mark match which sentence and why. In this activity students will match a sentence with its punctuation and give reasons which will help them learn and understand how punctuations works. I will also give Ina a list of animal’s name with pictures to practice it at home. She will learn animals name, recognize how to write and spell them. Using these few strategies will help Ina to improve her reading and writing

    The reason I chose to weigh Seraphina’s Promise, chapter quiz 25/25 is because this assignment is based on the student’s ability to listen, comprehend, and answer questions pertaining to the text through a paper test. The book will be read orally, chorally, or listened to via audio and the students will work with a partner to answer the questions. Therefore, I feel that this style of assignment should be worth a smaller percentage of the student’s grade.…
