OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

It was a great environment classroom, what I really liked was every student in the classroom was already
motivated by themselves to learn. The teacher did a great job teaching the topic and managed the class
really well. Asking the students knowledge about the topic beforehand is a great strategy and I would like
to apply this into my future classes. The only thing that was not effective in the class was students were
never taking any notes; I think taking notes will help students repeat the information and increase the
chance of passing it into their long-term memory.
