I t appears the students are placed in groups of four. There are no indications that they are group homogeneously or heterogeneously. However, the groups appear to work well together and all students are on task.
All students use a journal to record information. The journal entries that were observed were very neat and well organized.
The teacher was definitely a facilitator in the lesson. Students would make their own inferences and observations. When students described the rock, the teacher did not say it was right or wrong. The teacher supported the student’s observation as long as the student explained their reason. Once again, all students seemed engaged and used their journals to record information.

Excellent observations! How does this apply to your classroom? How do you group students? Do students use the journals in the same manner?
