For my third class observation, I sat-in on Ms. Walters' 1B composition course. The majority of the class was spent correcting mistakes they had made on a test. Many of the students struggled with choosing the main idea/concept of a paragraph and didn't understand how to decide what information was the most important out of all of the text. Ms. Walters' explanation was to try to find concepts or ideas that appear multiple times throughout a block of text as they might be the most important. I enjoyed how the class felt very easy-going and how students didn't seem afraid to ask questions or to make mistakes. Only when you make mistakes can you learn how to do it better, and it seemed as if the entire class had that mindset and was eager to make beautiful mistakes so their English could improve.
