Observation and Description
A.I observed the following things in the classroom. There is a rolling cart with a TV on it, in front of the classroom. There is an overhead projector sitting to the left of the teacher and a filing cabinet. There is a teacher’s podium to the right of a wipe off board that the students can see. There is another wipe off board on the right side of the classroom. There is a sorter on the teacher’s desk to help keep the students organized. The students desk are facing the front and to the side in the classroom. The desks are placed back from the front allowing room for moving around. In another room setting the desks are grouped together in groups of 4-6. The desks face each other allowing more room for the teacher to move around and work more with the students.
B.In one of the classrooms observed it looks as if the students are going to be watching a video because the teacher is pulling the TV in to the front of the classroom. There is a teacher standing at the podium that must have just finished introducing the video. The students are opening up notebooks and it looks like they are about to take notes over the video they are going to be watching.
In the other classroom observed it looks like the students are working on a group project. The reason they look like they are working on a group project, is because the teacher is going around to each group discussing the things they are working on. The teacher is helping the students with ideas.
Analysis, Exploration, and Reasoning A. In the first classroom arrangement the teacher has it set up in a nontraditional way. This teacher states that he prefers this arrangement because he is able to move around and interact with the students easier. The teacher states that this makes it easier for him to help the students. The teacher also says that having the students in a group allows for them to work in a cooperative learning experience. B.
