1. Identify one of the 17 Dynamic Instructional Laws that you feel the least confident in demonstrating consistently.  Then, for that law, identify a beginning, midpoint, and ending goal to implement that concept in your teaching.  For example:

The Law: The Law of Command: Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

                Beginning Goal:  Keep track of the number of times I tell my students to                                                              do something.

                Midpoint Goal: Saying things only twice before reinforcement.
