Feedback:
- When you read, could you direct students to listen for certain ideas, concepts,
evidence in what you were reading (evidence of citizenship)
- Very professional and polite
- Lots of good movement around the class, now stop to make sure you remind
students to stay on task
- Answering questions using the pyramid hierarchy = good!
