Assignment 1: Observation

For this assignment, I was to observe a classroom or find a video of a classroom posted online to view and then write a one-page reflection paper. In this paper, I have written about that experience. I have also included some of the issues I ran into while completing this assignment. I have also explained the purposes of completing a classroom observation, described different types of observations, and I have connected the observation with the course content or some other academic source.
