B1) Rules and Procedures
Video Name: Creating Appealing Plant Baskets
Video #: 1175
Rules and procedures used were direct instruction by the teacher on the exact
expectations to follow in regards to obtaining an iPad from the cart, how to utilize the iPad
in recording a partner transplanting a plant into the basket, and a self-evaluation after the
experiment was completed. This maximized the students learning by allowing for student
self-motivation and active engagement in the lesson on creating plant baskets.
B1a) Classroom Arrangement
The classroom arrangement utilized in this setting is all students were out of their
seats and gathered around the teacher at a workstation allowing for a more intimate setting.
The Classroom arrangement maximized the student learning by allowing a close
demonstration area where the teacher could monitor student engagement and have more
playful interactions with the students. The teacher made jokes on how messy the station was
and jokily laughed when a student Angel tried to help clean up piles of dirt form the table.
B1b) Learning Environment
The environment created by the teacher was respectful and engaging with teacher led
instruction, but student led questioning to spark interest in the activity. Students were able to
follow along in a demonstration and then preform the task themselves. After successfully
being recorded by a partner completing the hanging basket task students were asked to
perform a self-evaluation on a 1 to 5 scale. I can use this self-evaluation technique in my
classroom during instruction as a formative assessment. I can gage the learning experience
and collect data for future reference when utilizing demonstration as a form of teaching.
B2) Student Behavior

Video #: 1273
The teacher anticipates student behavior with two students identified as Chris and
