Classroom Observation Paper

In everyday life the brain processes information according to a logical subconscious code, even in the simplest of operations such as identifying an object. The brain might perceive a box in its first stage of its analysis, in which the neurons will transmit observations to the brain. This in turn stimulates reflection about whether it is simply an empty box or whether it may have some type of content.

After we had ranked them individually we were asked to summon into our respective ALT groups. A competitive atmosphere arose as we all stood up,
