On Monday at 11AM, I observed Angel Rios' class. Before the class began, Angel warned me that the class would only be reading from the book that day, but he would try to get some discussion in beforehand. Angel began the class through friendly conversation by asking what everyone did over the weekend. Being an advanced class, I noticed that most of the students were older than the previous class I had observed. All of the students were extremely attentive and focused on Angel at all times. Nevertheless, the class atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. After introductions, Angel began a discussion of the previous chapter. Here, the students reflected on what they had read last week and gave opinions regarding the material. Finally, Angel Rios played the audio book whilst the students read along. I feel like I personally would have had the students read, as I did notice a couple of students get distracted by things in the room, or some would start day-dreaming.
