The lesson went well. The video of the people stuck on the escalator helped begin the conversation. Interestingly, we had an emergency drill right in the middle of the lesson, and it was difficult to get the students back into the conversation--perfect example of the need for flexibility.

The video was a good choice and students were quick to pick up on the point. I like Tim's suggestion of questions of the week vs. phrases of the week. Questions seem more appropriate for getting students to pose the solutions themselves, which is the desired behavior. I'm still trying to get students to correctly and regularly self-evaluate in the student logs. There is too much to read in the rubric and even the most patient/diligent of my students aren't evaluating closely enough. The new version should be more streamlined and avoid tying specific actions (particularly teacher actions) to the various levels. For example, just b/c the teacher didn't have to tell you to focus on your work doesn't mean you actually were sustaining attention all class at mastery level. The teacher could easily be occupied with other students while you quietly get off task.

Very exciting event: I was in a class that is not doing these lessons; however, one of the students in that class is in a later class that is doing these lessons. She spontaneously used the EF language even though the language is not used in that particular class. I took this as evidence that the phrase/question of the week is an effective way to get students to cue themselves throughout the day. It is transferring to all periods of the day.
