Mrs. Redden's Summary

Mrs.Redden is an Aquatic Science teacher at New Caney High School. When the students arrived into the classroom, they sat in their assigned seats. Before starting class, Mrs.Redden waited till everyone put away their phones. She addressed that if she continued to see phones, she would feel obligated to give her students a write up. Once everyone was settled in, she made her whole class read the objectives and agenda on the whiteboard. The objectives and agenda consisted of reviewing aquatic vocabulary by matching the correct words with their definition, reviewing one last time by playing Kahoot and take a quiz over the material during the end of class. Mrs.Redden puts her students in groups of 3 and appointed one person from each group to pick
up bag that contained the scientific names of organisms and their definition. Mrs.Redden gave the students 15 minutes to match the words and warned them about how much time they had left. The teacher went around the room in order to assist students that needed her help with the words. Before the students put their words away, Mrs.Redden had to check the work for each group. Mrs.Redden offered several hints to groups that got their words wrong until they got it right. Once everyone was done with the words, the teacher asked her students to take out their electronics since they were going to use a website called Kahoot to review the content they had learn.The website provided the students with a code and made them sign in in order to start reviewing. Mrs.Redden waited patiently until everyone signed in. The students reviewed the content they had learned from the previous week. The website tested the student’s knowledge by asking several questions over the names of the living organisms that could be found in water.
After they finished reviewing, the student with the highest points was awarded with 5 extra points on their quiz. Mrs.Redden instructed her students to put their electronics away because they were soon going to take a quiz. Once the tables were cleared from all of the electronics, Mrs.Redden started passing out the quizzes. She instructed them to write their names and the period they attended her class so that the teacher would not get confused while she grades the papers. When all of the papers were out, Mrs.Redden walked around the whole room to make sure that the students were not copying from one another or using any electronics to search for the correct answers. The students raised their hands in order for Mrs.Redden to pick up the papers. Mrs.Redden silenced some students that were talking because others were still testing and gave them a warning. Once everyone was done testing, Mrs.Redden gave out worksheets with cross word puzzles to all of the students. She addressed that the students were allowed to use their in class notes in order to fill out the puzzles. The students continued to work on their cross word puzzles until the school bell
rang.
