2. Appropriate response to questions 1
When students asked you questions, instead of
giving
and comments
straightforward answers, you elicited the answers
from them. Besides, your attitude towards their
participation was always encouraging and you often
praised them when they participated.
Classroom management 0.7
Your class was very dynamic and that helped to
foster motivation.
However, you didn’t call everybody’s attention to
participate and very often kept eye contact only with the
student who was participating all the time. When only one
student is engaged, you should try to motivate the others
to participate too by asking them questions.
