In classrooms I sub for, getting a quick analysis of a student's state of being is priority. Based on a quick glance, I want to gauge (on the surface level), how are they feeling, if they dread this class or if they are engaged.

I will continue to bounce from student to student, maintaining more contact with students who have shown signs of needing support (understanding content, distracted from, or disassociated with class).
