in a simple and easy way for grade two.
She feels like her previous lesson was better, because her students had good behavior. She did not finish the whole
activity but finished the essentials. She felt confident in herself while I observed her, and she pointed out her flaws
and strengths when we discussed the lesson. She took my feedback as constructive criticism and promised to do
better, she disagreed with some of the things that I said but overall liked what I had to say about her lesson and felt
satisfied with my feedback. I advised her to be more enthusiastic while teaching her lesson, and I will be coming
back to observe her again.
