My first class is developmental algebra. It is a interactive classroom. She  lectures and if she does, it is to explain a homework or warm up concept that the students are not understanding. The students often ask questions and come to the board to solve problems. In this class they also do hands on activities. Today the students made plains out of paper and then cardstock. They conducted flight trials and then used the average distance to find the percent error. My role in the classroom involves walking around to makes sure all of the students are on task and to assist them with problems they need help with. I also help the teacher by passing out papers.

In physical science class the students are way less engaged. The teacher lectures to the students who they take  notes. There is not many opportunities in the class for students to ask questions or do hands on activities to further understanding of the ,material being taught. I do not have a role in this class. I sit at the back of the classroom and have to sit through the lecture with the other student. The teacher has yet to acknowledge me. There is also not much today because of the structure of the classroom.

In the english class the teacher gives a brief lesson on how to write a certain type of paragraph. After the lessons, the students do activities that challenge them to incorporate their lessons in a creative way. for example they've written raps and have had to write pretend instructions in the format of a process paragraph. In this class, I am a group activity facilitator. I'm assigned a group and facilitate the activity.
