I noticed that there was not a technology integrated into the lesson. You could maybe use a form of technology to be able to send the book back maybe through email or have the book posted on to youtube, or read the book out loud on an app that allows for the students to integrate their thoughts or feelings while reading the book.

Quality of Technological Interactivity: Not Applicable (N/A)
There was not a technology integration involved in this lesson. It could be beneficial to allow the students to create one, or both, of their graphs on a smart board and then allow them to highlight the similarities and differences after they are complete. This would focus on the comparing aspect of the standard and integrate technology into the lesson. Overall, I loved this lesson!

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)
The lesson needs more details in what materials will be needed and how they would use them to create the graph with the children.

Quality of Assessments: Strong (2)
This lesson begins with checking children's understanding of emotions and how to create a graph. The lesson could include more of an introduction to check children's prior knowledge. After the lesson, children's understanding would be assessed by the difference of the graphs and their understanding of it.

Quality of Technological Interactivity: Not Applicable (N/A)
This lesson plan did not contain any technology use. It could have included technology when creating the graphs. This might have increased motivation and engagement in the lesson

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Strong (2)
This lesson plan provided many opportunities for children to practice these skills and exercises within a whole group setting. Also, children would practice at home with their caregivers in a different setting.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Strong (2)
This lesson provided opportunities for children to use problem solving skills to determine what was different between the two graphs.
This is a great story stretcher and the content is age appropriate. My only suggestion would be for bilingual students to learn feelings and colors in their home language if possible. If not, the Speak and Translate app is a great resource.
