WHAT ENGLISH 10 AGAIN!

Schedule is on the black board—which allows students to know what they need to do.
The teacher checks hw, and allows students to hand in the hw late, as long as they bring a note in saying it is done.

I don’t know if I agree with allowing students to hand work in late. Nevertheless, at the same time I remember having to hand my work in later, and I was very grateful that the teacher didn’t take off points. I have not decided how I am going to handle this in my class.
One student has his head down—teacher asks if he is okay and shows genuine concern.
Teacher reads out loud while the students fallow.
She walks around the classroom while reading allowing her voice to travel around the room.
Some students are fallowing along—others decide to take a nap.
Maybe she should have different students take turn reading out loud? This might cause the students to get nervous and not like coming to class. Then again, reading out loud is a good skill to have—to be able to articulate the language.
After the teacher is done reading she reinforces what has been read thus far. Instructs the students to continue reading silently—I never really understood why teachers had students read silently in class. Small amounts are okay, but over 15 minutes students appear to lose interest, or just don’t care to even start reading.
Nevertheless, to make sure that the students are reading the teacher has a series of questions that they must answer before they can good to lunch.
Some student have to leave for extra help—its is good that the school provides for their needs.
I think it is hard to get students “wanting” to read a book. I understand that questions are a key way to asses a students understanding of a writing, nevertheless, doing it with every assignment may get very boring—causing the student become unengaged.
