This is the lesson plan I used with the three groups. I'd like to share with you what have happened.

In sixth grade; the students worked really fast and I had to add another activity. They even spelled their last names.

In fifth grade, the lesson plan worked perfect; with time, and activities.

In fourth grade, the spelling names' activity didn't work at the first try, either at the second try, until the third one.

I already made my action plan but I'm sure it will be working at "different speed" in eacg group.

See you next time.
