I think that if teachers we remember that the student needs each of these 5 elements but acknowledge that each section has subsections as well and they are also important. I really like that they are all I CAN or I WILL or I SEE statements that makes it really personal and realistic for students of all ages to grasp and really and truly understand. I really liked this section of the reading and I hope that I can be the teacher that can give my students academically what they are seeking.
