  1. Hi

    I like the fact that you put your synthesis in an easy to read table.

    I wonder if (as you use these in your classroom) you can add another column — student examples.

    A good next step might be to keep your own journal of your journey as a science teacher.

    1. I would agree, the table was concise and easy to follow. You “pooled” 🙂 it nicely together and it definitely helped further my understanding of the TELEs, thanks, Caleb!

      1. Hey Mary,

        Thanks for the pun! Was definitely good for a chuckle. I’m glad I was able to lay things out in such a way that helped with your further understanding!

    2. Hello Christopher,

      Thanks for the constructive suggestions! Currently, I make notes on the bottom of my unit plan about how different lessons went. I really think you’re right in that I should expand this, and provide longer journal-type reflections about how effective different lessons and teaching methods were.
