The document summarizes a classroom observation of a Grade 7 garments class where students participated in group discussions and reporting about the parts of a sewing machine. The teacher demonstrated the parts of the sewing machine and their functions. Students were actively engaged in the learning activities and their knowledge was enhanced through participation and demonstration of the real sewing machine. The observation experience reinforced that students learn best through active participation, demonstration of real objects, and when teachers provide positive reinforcement.

Reflections
Insights and feelings from your observation experience.
Students would participate more if there were good reinforcement given by the
teacher. Also, they are active in demonstration since realia of the material were seen
and touched.
In this modern era, there are students who are more knowledgeable than the
teacher. Thus teacher should allow the students to share their thoughts and ideas in
acquiring knowledge as well as teacher would study more to acquire more knowledge
and to have advanced knowledge than their students.
