are
engaging

discussion,

will
encourage
them
in
their
comments
by

acknowledging
their
thoughts
and
opinions.

students
are
working
on
computers
and
in
groups,
I
will
walk
around
the
room
to

field
questions
and
gauge
student
progress.
I
will
also
ask
which
writing
piece
the

students
have
chosen
and
what
their
opinions
are
regarding
the
topic.
I
will
give
positive

reinforcement
to
help
them
build
confidence
in
their
ideas,
opinions
and
perceptions.

how
you
will
provide
written
feedback
to
the
students
on
their

efforts.

will
provide
written
feedback
on
the
students’
activity
responses
that
they
will
print

and
hand
in
to
me.
I
will
use
the
exit
tickets
as
a

instructional
purposes
but
I
will
not
be
giving
written
feedback
on
them.

objective.
