Additional Evaluator Notes (please attach more pages, as necessary):

3c- Engaging Student in Learning- In order to increase student's intellectual engagement and the quality of
student discussions, consider affording time for students to problem solve in small groups. For example in
todays lesson, you could have asked students, "Why is it important to follow steps? Each group share out a
reason why it is important to follow steps." This will allow students the opportunity to brainstorm and share
out their thoughts.
