Observation Nine

Central Catholic High School

Spanish 3

8th hour

Notes:

This is a copy of the homework the students got
to work on for 10 minutes at the end of the class.

Reflection:

This class was amusing for me because this is the subject area and age level I want to teach. Central Catholic High School has only around 300 students total, so they have relatively small class sizes. This class in particular had 14 students. 78% were Caucasian and 22% were Hispanic. The teacher was female and had a traditional classroom setting. She divided out the class time into review, discussion, group work, and then gave students time at the end to finish their homework so they didn't have to finish it on the weekend. The students were very involved in participation. The teacher used a variety of activities from going over tests, PowerPoints, worksheets, and then homework. She had a great relationship with the students and at the end of the class, all the girls were super excited to show her their Prom pictures.
