Observed. Again.

So this time I was more comfortable and students seemed to be into it. The three bits of advice I received was, 1) MORE wait time. I need to wait a sec or 5 after I ask a question. Allow that awkward silence to take hold. 2) I should have more than one student answer the same question, that way other students can benefit from a re-phrasing of the answer. 3) I said too much! Ask and shut up! The students will tell you the next thing you were going to say. It's better if they figure it out, nuff of this spoon feeding. In the far or not so far future, I hope to create independent learners out of my students, proactive and able to express themselves. The dream, the future goal. How I want to shape these young brains.
