=**Step 1: For standard two, select the indicator that is your strongest suit for the standard and give two examples (artifacts) of why you selected it as your strongest suit.**= Indicator selected: a Artifact 1: Create a web on Inspiration for Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night.

Artifact 2: Using Inspiration students will design a web for Pilgrims and a web for Native Americans that summarizes what they learned throughout the unit. When creating their webs they may use either words, pictures or a combination of both. After completing their webs the students will write a summary of what they learned.

=**Step 2: For standard two, select the indicator that is your "least strongest" suit for the standard and write a professional goal of how you are going to increase your competency with the goal this year.**= Indicator selected: c Goal: Differentiate learning activities using digital tools and using Marzano's Technology in the classroom as a resource.

=Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?=

Reflection: I have made some progress in this area. I used inspiration but differentiated the learning by changing the expectations based on students ability to complete the task.
