Dont worry if your observation sheet looks messy! Stop observing after ten minutes. Eye contact: For the next ten minutes, use your second sketch to note the teachers eye contact. Draw in lines to indicate where the teacher directs her eyes, which students she makes eye contact with. Stop observing after ten minutes.
