Thanks for sharing your lesson study with us! I would love to see more of this online:)
What do you mean by you decided to "use an every pupil response?" And what made you believe the students might not be able to tell the difference between the text and the teacher's thoughts? (How did you go about collecting data as the observing teachers? A list of student behaviors that you checked for? or something else?) Thanks!
