Classroom Activity: Observations

The teacher asks questions to check for student understanding. As she listens to the students' responses, she makes an informed decision about how to proceed. This small group activity allows the teacher to hear the students think aloud as they complete the activity.

During the teacher's reflection segment, an explanation is given for the purpose of a word sort.
