To be completed by the Observer:

3. Strengths to continue to build on:

Recapping book

Reading in chunks

Stop and jot thinking

Turn and talk

Student feed back thats a good question/suggestion/thinking

Having them assume a character and write down their thinking.

Sharing their thinking at the end

4. Suggestions for future lessons:

Dont forget to have the objective clarified.

Make sure you clarify instructions for students, have a couple repeat your
expectation/task to you.

Dont forget to monitor student off/on task behavior, dont be afraid to

stop the lesson and refocus them.

When you notice that students have lost focus, redirect them.

Always have an extension activity/work ready for your early finishers (e.g
when finished read independently)

Classroom management and monitoring comes with time!
