group behavior.

Reflection:
I noticed that the students were engaged with the activity. They had a lot to say about the different elements and how it goes with the play
that they read. I think I have grown compared to last semester. I took the key points that my collaborating teacher informed me about from
last semester, as in using poster boards in the classroom to help the students scaffold on the questions that I am asking them. I also
remembered her notifying me that I should simplify the questions by saying one question at a time. So I made sure the students
understands what the instructions consist of. This lesson gave me confidence but I think I still struggle with nervousness but I think I have
grown from being nervous because I am in front of the class. Now I am nervous that the students wont understand my lesson or I will not
teach them correctly. I hope I can become more confident because according to my CT I did well. I hope to continue to grow and become a
better instructor over all during this internship.
