Had all the class engaged
Very well planned class with good structure
By having the video it can be used as a review in the future for students and for future lessons
The video is short and students can pause where they want so they can invest their time in getting their work done;
also students who feel uncomfortable to interrupt the class to ask questions can see it later on
The video was well explained since students did not ask any questions indicating that it was well explained
The closing was a connection with values, Dr. Ubran (toxic and nourishing), grammar they had done, etc.

between the words
Corrections were done respectfully, well lets try this again

Good example of good rapport without loosing authority of a teacher

Cool Feedback

When a student made a mistake, bring up another one for him to answer just to confirm that he understands
Discuss what we are in the present but we are discussing the past
SMART board is fussy
A student was sitting with his laptop on his lap rather than the desk

General Feedback (with observed teacher involved)

Creating the video sends a message to students that they teacher did her HW and they will retribute in the same
manner

The video is very customized
