I observed the 2A reading class in which they started reading a modified book about the Apollo 13 movie. They plan to watch the movie after the book is finished. Before reading, the instructor went through the table of contents/important dates and asked the students what they thought the dates might signify. This sparked curiosity to keep them interested in the book. The instructor read two chapters aloud while the class followed along with their books. As he read he defined unfamiliar words and explained the meaning behind any idioms that were used. His pronunciate was clear, precise, and deliberate. After reading, he asked the students to summarize the first two chapters orally. Then the class switched to focus on the 3 branches of government. The students were asked to read a handout they had been provided and to discuss the main idea with their partners. The instructor listened to each conversation and helped students one-on-one with pronunciation. At the end of class the instructor had a short review of the worksheet that student had answered about the branches of government to ensure they all understood the material.
