8. Teacher Reflection-
The first part is when all the students are sitting at their desks, and simply listening to you. This is the "lecture" part of the lesson, and involves you basically teaching the class something, and the students listening or raising their hands to answer specific questions. This is the you-teaching-them part.
The second part of every lesson should be where they get together in small groups of 2-4 students to work on something. It may be when they read through the textbook and take some notes, or the groups brainstorm an opinion on something. Anything that involves a collective group work element where students can work with whoever they want. Near the end of this part, you can have a discussion session where groups voice their findings/opinions, and give marks for adequate participation.
The final part of every lesson should be where the students return to their seats and work QUIETLY on one final task, such as answering specific questions written on the board, or drawing a picture related to something they learned that lesson. The students should only talk to you (if they have a question about what/how to do it) or the person sitting directly next to them. This is the wind-down part where students get a chance to work on their own.
