It is without a doubt that rigor is impacted by the students engagement and motivation to learn. I enjoyed participating in the activity on page 34 where it asked us to reflect on a lesson that was taught recently. I reflected on a lesson that I taught recently using a power point presentation along with completing the questions in their workbook. During this lesson, I lectured while the students took notes, ask questions throughout the notes, and they also did individual writing while completing thier workbook assignment. I found that many of the students enjoyed taking the notes from the pp while others did not. I cannot wait to see how the test scores turn out!
I also agree with another individual who wrote that they would like to improve on the questions that they ask during a lesson. I also would like to work on my questions to ensure that they are directly related to the lesson and also that they make my students think more logically. I enjoyed reviewing Ciardiellos's model on page 23.

Michele, are you familiar with the New American Lecture? If not, Google it. You may find some similarities in what you do with your students.
