Bridget's feedback:

"This is a strong piece of writing that shows excellent control over the text and the framework. Clear examples and details help the reader follow how the story can be used in the classroom; this is easy to follow and I can see how your audience will be able to apply your lesson plan in practice.

My main notes for you are to check if you need some concluding section or statement, mostly just to wrap up and avoid ending on a specific note (which can give a truncated or abrupt feel); if this is not typical to the format, then you can disregard the suggestion. The second comment is to recommend a final proofread for very minor errors ("art related" should be "art-related). The writing overall is sound, with good control of mechanics, so consider reading aloud to help spot these details. Last, make sure any final draft includes the author and title of the book; the copy I'm reading does not include these details (the title appears in one of the critical thinking questions)."
