Assignment #3
Ed. 4273
Oct. 2014
Students
associate
with
their
friends
often
but
fail
to
include
others
in
the
class
who
are
not
in
their
friends
circle
They
tend
to
clump
together
in
pairs
or
groups
Both
girls
and
boys
communicate
verbally
and
actively
with
their
friends
Girls
tend
to
show
more
signs
of
positive
affection
towards
their
friends
(I.e.
hugging,
arms
around
each
other)
Boys
tend
to
display
more
negative
actions
towards
their
friends
as
a
way
of
showing
their
affection
(I.e.
light
punch
on
the
shoulder,
high-five)
Students
tend
to
associate
with
classmates
of
the
same
sex
more
often
than
with
the
opposite
sex
This
is
also
the
same
in
regards
to
students
associating
with
others
who
have
the
same
cultural
background
When
students
need
to
find
partners,
they
often
only
pick
their
friends
(fortunately,
no
one
was
left
out)
Students
will
try
to
impress
other
classmates
by
behaving
in
an
amusing
way
This
was
used
as
a
method
to
gain
approval
as
they
looked
around
the
classroom
to
see
peoples
reactions
When
students
laughed,
the
behaviour
was
usually
repeated
or
enhanced
If
one
student
laughed,
others
would
typically
follow
until
the
teacher
intervened
to
stop
it
This
behaviour
was
disruptive
especially
when
other
students
engaged
in
it
or
encouraged
it
This
was
also
a
source
of
distraction,
whether
it
was
irregular
movements
or
sounds,
as
the
students
directed
their
attention
to
the
distractor
and
were
no
longer
looking/listening
to
the
teacher
The
teacher
influenced
the
student-student
interactions
in
an
effective
way
by
stopping
the
distractor,
modeling
positive
behaviours,
picking
groups,
and
arranging
different
seating
plans
The
teacher
had
recently
changed
the
seating
plan
so
that
a
student
sits
beside
both
by
a
close
friend
and
someone
they
are
less
likely
to
talk
to
on
their
own
to
implement
class
cohesion
and
a
friendly
environment
The
teachers
treated
all
their
students
fairly
and
in
the
same
manner
The
teacher
would
continue
to
ask
each
student
if
they
required
help
while
walking
around
the
classroom
The
students
showed
respect
to
their
teacher;
the
teachers
demonstrated
authority
in
all
classes
They
would
immediately
stop
what
they
were
doing
when
the
teacher
demanded
their
attention
or
raised
his/her
voice
They
would
follow
the
teachers
instructions
They
apologized
when
they
did
something
wrong
or
showed
lack
of
respect
by
talking
to
a
neighbor
during
a
lesson
The
students
trusted
the
teacher
They
felt
comfortable
coming
to
the
teacher
and
explaining
why
she/he
could
not
participate
in
phys.
Ed
or
why
he/she
did
not
finish
their
homework
even
if
it
was
related
to
a
personal
matter
The
teachers
were
very
friendly
to
their
students
Some
students
were
a
lot
more
open
and/or
more
talkative
to
the
teacher;
their
student-teacher
relationship
seemed
more
open
and
close
Depending
on
the
relationship,
the
teacher
was
able
to
joke
around
with
the
student
The
teacher
didnt
always
stop
the
drill
or
lesson
if
there
was
a
distraction,
this
depended
on
the
student
and
the
occurrence
of
the
behaviour
The
teacher
tended
to
give
a
look
to
the
student
and
wait
to
see
if
he/she
would
stop
his/her
behaviour
If
the
behaviour
didnt
stop,
the
teacher
would
take
away
the
distraction
or
vocalize
the
negative
effect
it
is
having
on
the
learning
of
the
rest
of
the
class
Teachers
would
communicate
with
one
another
in
between
classes
I
found
this
useful
as
teachers
were
able
to
discuss
certain
things
going
on
in
the
school
One
teacher
used
this
time
in
between
periods
to
vent
to
another
teacher
when
the
previous
class
was
extremely
difficult
to
teach;
This
could
be
helpful
by
warning
the
next
teacher
ahead
of
time
incase
they
need
to
tailor
their
lesson
In
one
situation,
a
teacher
came
in
quietly
and
talked
to
the
other
teacher
during
the
period
This
was
not
disruptive
as
it
was
during
the
transition
to
the
next
activity
and
the
teacher
was
just
waiting
for
the
students
to
get
out
the
specific
worksheet
I
think
this
is
okay
if
the
situation
needed
immediate
attention
When
the
period
was
over
and
the
next
teacher
came
in
to
use
the
classroom,
the
previous
teacher
was
very
friendly,
acknowledged
her
presence,
and
made
sure
the
room
was
left
tidy
I
was
able
to
sense
a
supportive
community
among
the
teachers
at
this
school,
which
I
think
is
important
One
student
in
phys.
Ed
continued
to
spin
the
volleyball
while
sitting
down
outside
of
her
squad
during
the
teachers
lesson
The
student
was
unaware
of
her
disruptive
behaviour;
she
was
just
doing
it
while
listening
because
she
had
the
volleyball
in
her
hands
Once
the
ball
started
getting
away
from
her
and
distracting
other
students,
the
teacher
told
the
student
to
2
Instruction
What
instructional
strategies
are
used?
Any
quick
or
small
tricks
that
teachers
use
to
help
with
instruction
and
learning?
How
would
you
assess
their
effectiveness?
