might paint and have them show you what it would look like to paint afence. (Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence)(Bloom's Knowledge)

What went well? What should I do differently next time I teach this lesson? Howcan I better explain about paying attention so that they understand and can respond toquestions? Did the students like the story or should I choose a different one next time?
