Observation Seven

Central Catholic High School

Freshman English

2nd Hour

Notes:

This is the assignment the students worked on after the teacher read them a short passage from the book, "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Reflection:

This was my favorite class that I observed. The teacher had me involved with the class. She introduced me to the class, had me involved in the class activities, and had me pass out papers. The students desks were facing the podium and all students were engaged. She had the student's old projects hanging all over her classroom, which showed she was proud of their work. All of the students seemed to have a great relationship with her and that she was a trusted adult to them. The students were assigned an individual activity for about ten minutes, then compared answers with partners and the class. The teacher handled disruptive students in a joking but serious manner. The students respected her right away and stopped the disturbances.
