1) The document summarizes two English lessons about Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness observed by the author. In the first lesson, the teacher leads a discussion about plot and characters. In the second lesson, students give presentations about assigned readings, though the teacher frequently interrupts to provide information. 2) The author gave one student general comprehension questions about the first lesson. The responses lacked substance and repeated filler words. This raised the question of whether the student did not understand the text or did not care about the assignment. 3) For the second lesson, the author gave more specific questions requiring textual evidence. The responses showed more detail, suggesting the student could find evidence but still may not fully comprehend the complex text.
