Date/Time: Wednesday 04 November @ 11AM with Marilyn
Topic/Skill: Reading 1A
Teacher Presentation: The teacher assigned everyone homework the night before. She brought up the homework on the projector and went through each multiple choice question with the class. She used the white board to circle elements and write different words that the students may not be able to spell.
Classroom Management: She managed the classroom by making sure everyone participated. Initially, everyone wanted to participate so she used a finger number system so everyone had a voice. She also called on people individually.
Materials: White board, projector
Student Participation: Many of the students wanted to participate. Therefore, to engage the whole class she used a number "finger" system for the multiple choice where she asked everyone to raise one finger for A, two for B, three for C, and four for D. That way everyone gave a response. However she still did engage some of the quiet people - mainly girls - and asked them for their opinion for the reading homework.
Feedback Provided: Marilyn rarely said "good job" to the students. She continued to talk to engage the students and ask questions and she rarely gave hints to the students. She wanted them to figure it out by themselves.
Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: I learned to introduce new ideas to the reading by using one word or sentence to talk about American Culture. Marilyn talked about state mottoes because in the reading, it mentioned that the state motto of D.C. is "Justice for All". I learned that using simple phrases that are connected to American culture can introduce new ideas in the minds of the students.
