My first class observation was on 5/9/18 from 10-10:50 am for a 2A level grammar class with instructor Ryan Flemming . Professor Flemming began class with introductions and going over the class agenda. He then explained the class activity and repeated the guidelines and rules to ensure students understood what was expected of them during the group activity. The focus of the activity was on using frequency adverbs such as sometimes and always. I noticed that Professor Flemming gave encouragement when students attempted to answer questions and elicited class participation through questions and group discussion. It was helpful to see how Professor Flemming kept students on task (when slouching, or when they were on their phones). Professor Flemming did not focus on small spelling errors during the second activity which involved working on the simple present tense.
