OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

Overall she did a great job. She has a great questioning skill as a teacher. She leaded her students to find
answer of questions with her questions. She began the lesson with activity which let her know what her
students know about fact and opinion. She used positive language and encourages her students to answer
her questions. She consistently redirected a student inappropriate behavior verbally and nonverbally. She
did great job to get all students engaged with topic. Her strength was questioning and classroom
management. Her weakness was order of activities were little confusing needs better planning for order
of activities in class.
