Abstract
Chapter 8 we all agreed really help us understand the groups that we can form in the classroom. This chapter told us how we can form groups and how groups even thought they may be working on something individually need roles and structure within the groups itself. This chapter also goes over how groups and student as a whole in the classroom need to have class rules and expectations communicated to them clearly. They also stress in this chapter smooth transitions of material and how we can prepare for that. Lastly what this chapter also gives us is a look at managing and dealing with individual students behaviors whether they are bad and disruptive or not.
Reflection
All of us in this chapter all agreed that there was a lot of information that we can all use in our classrooms. Especially the sections on behavior. Groups, and getting the students attention. Because all of us have some type of fear when is comes to one of these three things. For instance my fear is loosing student attention and then having to get it back. Or just getting it in their place. Although we all felt this chapter had a lot of useful information in it we were all a little upset on how it just seemed breeze through the chapter. Overall thought we all like it and felt it really could be helpful when we all get our first classrooms.
