Journal Question- (Remember a time when you were reunited with a loved
one. Write about your experience. What were the circumstances? What

Reflection:
Overall this lesson went very well. The students seemed to really enjoy
the first part of the story that we will be reading over the next couple
days. The students were engaged in the discussion and brought some
meaningful ideas to the table. If I were to do the lesson over again, I
would write out my own answer to the journal question to show the
students. Some of the students had a difficult time coming up with an
idea to talk about, and if I would have provided them with an example
these difficulties could of potentially been avoided.
