As a student teacher in an American literature class, I once asked my students if they thought they would be able to write a paragraph about the theme of the novel we had just finished, based on the class discussion we had just had. All
of the students answered in the affirmative. Based on this information, was my lesson that day a success?
No, none of the students understood the theme of the novel.
No; the students' response means they are requesting additional assistance with the theme
Yes, all of the students understood the theme of the novel
Maybe; the students were unclear about their understanding of the theme of the novel.
