2. Throughout the hour I am there I noticed that the students we very well behaved. They had a routine instruction that they followed for the beginning of the class. (Bell Ringer) She was able to keep their attention and have them focus on the task at hand. They also had questions they had to answer and turn in at the end of the week.

I also took those observations and tried to see if the student engagement and motivation strategies helped the students become more involved or interested in the topic they were covering. I feel like I’ve learned that the more interested the student is in a topic your covering the better the in-class response will be.

The reason I didn’t want to participate is because I didn’t want to embarrass myself and I felt like the questions or answers that I would give would be wrong. I feel like this will help me as a teacher because being able to communicate with your students about the material your teaching is important. Without student engagement and good communication skills how are you supposed to know if a student is confused or needs help. And being able to motivate students over a topic benefits them in the long run. I feel like having
