OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:
This classroom was a Health Science class for 10th, 11th,and 12th grade students. It was mixed
class from different grade levels. There was only one teacher present during the class period. The teacher
started class with two bell works that took about ten minutes and I noticed that students were able to
answer these questions. Students were very respectful there was no discipline issue no disrupting class all
students were on task and ready to learn. Most part of the class teacher did questioning and answering
also teacher used PowerPoint while he was lecturing. Teacher was standing whole class period and while
he teaching used eye contact with students. Also teacher was able to answer students questions one think
that I like from teacher is while he was explaining questions from students he was given examples from
daily life helping them to understand easily. Also while he was explaining questions he support his
answers by drawing pictures on the white board. Finally last ten minutes of the class the teacher gave
students online group work and students work on their assignment as a group last ten minutes of class.
During this time teacher took questions from students and also he checked their works by visiting each
group. At the and the teacher did summary of the class and he took feedbacks from students and gave
them next topic for upcoming class. Overall, the class lesson was productive and all students were
listened carefully and respectfully. When teacher asked question them they all respond and participate
actively.
