What I notice

Thoughts, Questions, Connections to

Methods Classes

The lesson was very quick and ran

smoothly.

The students enjoyed the question

answer section at the end of the lesson.

Because of the quickness of the lesson

the some students were not able to
engage in the lesson and were lost and
chatty during most of the lesson.

For most students this was a review so

that may be why the lesson was so
short and quick.

The teacher had to refer back to her

lesson often

As a future teacher that made me feel

more comfortable with doing that
during my lesson.

The teacher was able to address

behavior problems quickly without
jumping off task for several minutes at
a time.
There were clear expectations for
behavior.
