Instructional Lesson
Classroom:
Grade: 3rd
Curriculum Area: Writing/Reading
What I notice
-Majority of students on task working in
groups
-Group of boys laying on the floor being
unproductive.
-Group of girls collaboratively planning
their movie assignment
-Teacher glancing up from her desk
every once in a while and subtly tries to
redirect students a few times and then
gives up.
-Teacher cannot get students to grasp
the purpose of the assignment so has
them switch activities.

Thoughts, Questions, Connections to
Methods Classes
-Why doesnt the teacher try to be more
firm with the students who are off task?
-If the teacher could redirect the
students, would the outcome of the
assignment be different?
-It almost seemed like busy work
because the teacher did not try to help
the students understand the
assignment and instead had them
move on.
-Some students were never on task to
begin with which made me wonder if
they knew the boundaries of the
classroom and that they would not get
in trouble for it.
