On the whole students improved greatly from pre
test to post test. More work still needs to be done
with literary analysis.
REVISIONS
After reviewing the data, I noticed that
students did well on the
comprehension of the story.
 However, interpretation, analysis, and
writing skills were still weak.
In the future there will be more
practice exercises on writing and
analysis before the final test.
SUMMARY
This project was of great assistance in a
number of ways.
Proficiency I learned to be more comfortable using
the computer. By being proficient with the
computer,I was able to pass on these skills to my
ESL students.
Interest By using PowerPoint and encouraging my
student to use the computer, I had a much more
captivated audience.
Curriculum Alignment Aligning the state standards
to my lesson was hard work, but it ensured that
students were learning what was required.
SUMMARY Continued
This project was well worth the
many hours of labor. Having a
place to go to in order to view
other teachers’ lessons and
projects is both helpful and
educational. I would encourage
my colleagues to give it a try .
