Abstract

This chapter concerns a variation of the lesson play assignment that focuses on the critiquing rather than the writing of a classroom interaction. In particular, we discuss reactions of a group of experienced elementary and middle school teachers to part of a play written by a prospective elementary school teacher. They were asked to consider what they noticed in a given play and to comment on positive features as well as on issues that could be improved, or suggest alternative choices that could have been made. To help these teachers adopt a thoughtful approach to their reading, we invited them to imagine that they were supervising this prospective teacher.
