What did you see? Clip #1
Clip #1 • Was this an acceptable way to try to catch Owen up a bit? • Did I wait long enough for student responses after asking questions? • Is there a better way to do this?
What did you see? Clip #2
Clip #2 • NOTE: I did this very differently in other classes. • I asked many questions without getting responses here. Does that mean they don't understand?
What did you see? Clip #3
Clip #3 • I often just talk through student chatter. • On two occasions, Young was talking and I silenced him with looks. Is that effective? • What do you do in similar situations?
What did you see? Clip #4
Clip #4 • Instead of shouting, I raise my hand to get silence and attention, it sometimes takes awhile. • I tried to relate passage to students while demonstrating summarizing • I embarrassed one chatty group. Is that effective?
In general • Language (okay, so, right, kay) • Plan (timing, activities, engagement) • Class was so chatty! • Anything else?
