School attended: TAES secondary school Number of students: 27
Observer: Dorys A. De Los Reyes Date: September 17, 2008
Purpose: To analyze how the teacher presents the information to the students.
1. Description of Classroom Environment:
Briefly describe the classroom including: seating arrangements, classroom decoration, size of room, classroom rules, atmosphere, etc. and any important elements that you consider important.
The students are seated in 6 regular rows. Each row has 6 desks but some of them are empty. The classroom is big enough for all the desks. The windows are really big, from half of the wall up to the roof and covered with blinds. It has a whiteboard in the front and a screen to project images from the projector. Additionally, there are two trash cans: one for paper and the other one for the rest of the trash. The students are not allowed to stay in the classroom when the class finishes; they have to leave when the bell rings to get their materials for the next class. The classroom atmosphere is very good. There is an environment of friendship and respect. Students are happy when they enter the classroom, they do not feel anxious. Moreover, they love to participate in the class.
2. Report:
Report the information collected from your observation format, being objective of the information collected. Be sure to attach the observation format to this report.
The teacher used a loud tone of voice to present the information and varied the intonation in order to emphasize important information. The ideas were clearly presented with examples that helped to clarify them. Additionally, the teacher maintained eye contact with the students when she was presenting the information and asked if there were any doubts along the presentation. She also related new ideas to the ones seen previously.

3. Comments
Comment how you felt during the observation and write about any unexpected issue that affected your observation or any other topic you consider important to mention in this report.
Sometimes when I am observing the class I want to participate in the activities because they are really challenging and fun. Even though the information is somehow difficult for the students the teacher finds the way to make it easier and interesting for them.
