Observation Report ELED 3223

Objective: I will continue to explore Westward Expansion.
The students gather to the carpet with their Social Studies textbook. The teacher asks for
volunteers to read the textbook. The students start reading The United States in 1783 in the
textbook. As the student reads, the teacher points out the vocabulary words and defines them.
After couple of sentences, the teacher asks the students how to get the vocabularys definition
and why is it written in bold? (look around the text, its important thats why its in bold, the
definition is written in a box beside the text).

Every Social Studies lesson Ive observed, the students were reading about Westward Expansion
and some of the days the teacher didnt teach Social Studies at all because of picture day and
sleep log for Health.
