movie

I watched Joesph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat today during my observation. It was funny to be at the back of the room watching the students watching the movie. Some were really interested in it and others could care less. There were several notes being passed around the room as well as side conversations. In the beginning, when my Co-op teacher asked students to take out their homework or to move thier seat, all I could hear were my former teachers that said "____ does not require talking". I forgot how noisy a classroom can get in the matter of moments. The movie was in relation to the social studies chapter that they just took a test on yesterday. This was there "incentive" but my Co-op said her and the other teachers in that team really didn't want to start the next chapter until Monday. It is really interesting to see the real motives behind some of the things done in a classroom. I am looked at as a teacher in the classroom. It is an interesting, yet good, feeling. I'm looking forward to becoming more hands on with the class.
