 Reflection

The conducting a formal observation is the best way to observe our friends, because this can
help me to understand more what the strength and what the areas of development that we need
to do in the next future lesson. However, my colleague feels good when observed Amal,
because she did the great lesson which was about the animal habitats and how to create a 4D
triorama and she did a lot of activities that students can understand the lesson more. My
colleague is agreed with my evaluation, because we are together compatible in the opinion
which the lesson was active, and it covered all the information that should to give it to the
students. Therefore, the suggestions that me and my colleague made it are the student-teacher
must to be attention more in misbehavior students, and put a description for the habitats, such
as the student-teacher should ask the learners a lot of questions and repeat the video more than
three times to they can understand more.
