-Jenn uses knowledge of
students’ academic readiness,
language proficiency, cultural
background, and individual
development to plan
instruction by:
● Planning lessons that
will build off prior
knowledge in all her
lessons, and even
giving anecdotes that
are relatable to them
like being a sibling or
listening to parents.

● Helping students
understand new
content by showing
videos, pictures, and
even movie clips to
help them understand.
For example Jenn
helped her students
understand pathos by
showing them an
emotional speech
given by the president
in the movie
Independence Day.
