1.​ ​ ​ ​What​ ​do​ ​you​ ​observe​ ​in​ ​the​ ​classroom​ ​that​ ​either​ ​helps​ ​students​ ​with​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​process,
or​ ​helps​ ​create​ ​an​ ​interesting​ ​learning​ ​environment?

The white board which has their agenda on it. That way they
can get right into their work as soon as they come into the
class.

2.​ ​ ​How​ ​does​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​connect​ ​a​ ​lesson​ ​to​ ​previous​ ​lessons​ ​or​ ​information​ ​in​ ​the​ ​text?
While reading, she stops to talk about what they just read together and asks
questions.

3.​ ​ ​How​ ​has​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​organized​ ​media​ ​print​ ​materials​ ​for​ ​the​ ​instructional​ ​activity?

There is none. They just read.

6.​ ​ ​Do​ ​students​ ​have​ ​ownership​ ​or​ ​involvement​ ​in​ ​their​ ​own​ ​instructional​ ​process?​ ​ ​If​ ​so,​ ​how​ ​is
this​ ​accomplished​ ​and​ ​how​ ​does​ ​it​ ​impact​ ​student​ ​learning?
Yes. They read their book independently. Then read their class book all together

7.​ ​ ​Based​ ​on​ ​your​ ​observation,​ ​how​ ​much​ ​time​ ​during​ ​the​ ​class​ ​period​ ​is​ ​the​ ​learning
student-directed?​ ​ ​Teacher-directed​ ​learning?

8.​ ​ ​How​ ​does​ ​the​ ​teacher’s​ ​pacing​ ​of​ ​instruction​ ​affect​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​process​ ​for​ ​students?
There’s not many instructions. The students are just switching between reading
one book and another the whole class period.
