At the beginning of the class, the teacher always reminds students of the ground rules to abide by during Zoom class. As it is a Bahasa Malaysia subject, the agreement is written in Bahasa Malaysia with English translation. The agreement increases students' accountability in the class by helping them understand the importance of adhering to their own best practices and goals.

Since the classroom at the moment is all done through Zoom, the teacher tries their best to strengthen the students' online learning by stimulating their visuals and auditory modality. The online class is livened up with music when the students are given time to work on their tasks or while waiting for the class to begin. As for visuals, it is mostly projected through PowerPoint and not so much focused on the teacher's background environment.

This helps to remind students to embrace curiosity.
Seek to know and understand better.

As we face challenges, it is important to try our hardest to reach excellence in anything we do .

During the first 2 weeks of class, I would say that the thing that stood out the most to me in terms of foundation are the classroom agreements. One thing that I see is always present at the beginning of lessons are the class agreements. The year group I am in also uses a mnemonic to remember their agreements. R.E.C.I.P.E. It stands for respect, excellence, communication, integrity, and enjoyable environment. A few times a day at the beginning of a class, the entire class will do a chant about the class agreements together. While each individual component may seem vague, they are actually explained further and can also be tailored to a range of situations. For example, the elaboration of respect often refers to students keeping their cameras on during online class. Another example is students showing excellence through completing their tasks. The agreements are also applied regularly when students unmute themselves without permission. It has already been established with the students that they should only unmute themselves on Zoom when the teacher gives them permission. However, every now and then, a student will randomly unmute themselves. When this happens we often remind students of the agreements.

I think that these methods are very useful and that I can apply a similar strategy in my future class. The use of a mnemonic and a chant is a great way to get students to remember the class agreements so they can be reminded on how they should be acting in the class. Having agreements that are general enough to cover a wide range of circumstances is also a good idea since it can be applied to many different situations. For example, the integrity agreement can be used to say that students should finish the quiz without cheating as well as having the integrity to not be doing something else while class is on. An agreement like that can cover many different circumstances whenever it is necessary.

During the first 2 weeks of class, I would say that the thing that stood out the most to me in terms of atmosphere is the way my mentor talks to the students . I think that my mentor does a very good job at building rapport with the students in the class. I believe that it is largely due to the way that she talks to her students. Both as a whole class and as individuals. As a whole class, she treats every student fairly and makes sure that there are opportunities for everyone to give their opinion or ask questions in class. I believe that her work has created an atmosphere in which all her students feel comfortable in asking questions and giving their opinions. This is exemplified in two ways. The first of which is how often students put up their hands to ask questions. Throughout my observations so far, I have noticed that students are quick to raise their hands in class when they don't understand something. The second way is how my mentor allots time for students to talk about their opinions. Sometimes she will ask them what they think about the subject at had and give them time to discuss it in the chat or on their Peardeck. Another way in which I have seen my mentor build rapport with the students is the way she takes attendance. Many teachers might just look at the participants list in Zoom and just mark down those who are present. However, my mentor uses the act of taking attendance to say hi to all the students present. This way, the students get to unmute themselves and greet their teacher as well. This method of taking attendance also gives each student a little bit of time to talk to her since she takes a few seconds to listen to them if they have something to say.

Personally, I think that the way my mentor takes attendance is a great way to build rapport with students. I think that being intentional and deliberate in greeting students is a great way to make them feel acknowledged. It also gives the teacher an opportunity to learn a little more about the interests of their students and how they feel that day/class. I also hope to apply the way my mentor gives everyone a chance to talk while making sure that things don't get out of hand. this can be done through opening up the chat in zoom and then purposefully looking through the chat and commenting on what students have said.

During the first 2 weeks of class, I would say that the thing that stood out the most to me in terms of environment is the use of virtual backgrounds. With everyone being at home now, we have no way of changing how our classroom looks. Some teachers may opt to use the walls of their house as a way of changing the classroom environment. However, some may not be able to use the walls of their house effectively due to the placement of furniture or the positioning of a teacher's workstation. However, a great tool that I have seen my mentor use is a virtual background. The best example that I have seen so far was when my mentor changed her background to have a polar bear in it. For the English lessons in the first few weeks, we were focusing on endangered animals. The polar bear was a big focal point for the students as well since the book they were reading during the morning learning sessions was about polar bears. As such, my mentor used her background to catch the attention of the students in the class. When students entered the Zoom meeting, their faces lit up as they say the polar bear in my mentor's background. That virtual background really got students excited and curious about what they were going to do during that English class.

I think that I could also employ similar methods even in the near future. Considering that I will be starting to co teach and full teach classes soon with the guidance of my mentor. It can be really helpful to use virtual backgrounds to set the stage for that particular class. The great thing about it is that TIS uses IPC. The thematic nature of the curriculum allows for links between all the different subjects. For context, we are studying about dinosaurs this term, which are extinct animals. This allowed us to link to endangered animals since we do not want them to become extinct like the dinosaurs. I could definitely continue to use virtual backgrounds to not only catch students attention, but also get them to think about the topic itself.

Atmosphere is the key of students' hearts. Everyone would want to feel safe, and cultivate positive energy in their own atmosphere. It is important for students to experience a decent classroom climate with a mixture of positive tones.

SAFETY is involved as the students' emotional state should always be in a good place. They should never feel scared of anyone and negative attitudes such as bullying should not be carried out.

Students deserve appreciation if one achieves an output and this how SUPPORT comes in place. Teachers being kind and giving constructive feedback would result with wonderful attributes in students.

Having a sense of BELONGING is one that everyone desires. Special occasions such as birthday celebrations would make students feel that they matter and that is the sense of belonging we want to incur.

Being in an online learning environment can be a challenge not just for the teachers but also for the students. This is where the role of the teachers is important in ensuring that each and every student's needs are met in order to encourage effective learning. The importance of participating in online learning is heavily emphasized and this is to ensure that students are paying attention to their learning as well as to gauge student's understanding. But to passive students, this can be very challenging. Hence, one of the approaches taken by teachers is to give encouragement and acknowledgment to students as often as they possibly can.

During the past few days of my classroom observation, I have especially noticed that the teachers would constantly give praise and acknowledge student's efforts when participating during class sessions. Positive impact can be seen as students will try their best volunteering themselves to share their answer to the task given and even for the more passive students, it encourages them to display their work for the teacher to see.

APPLYING INTO MY TEACHING/CLASSROOM:

Giving praise and showing acknowledgment to student's work and effort may be overlooked by some but it is truly important and powerful to motivate students to try their best when learning and that is why, based on what I have learned here, I will constantly keep it in mind and make it a habit. Although I do have to be mindful of when to praise and encourage students.

Although I was not able to observe firsthand how the environment of a physical class is, it can be seen that even in an online setting the teachers tried their best to set up a suitable environment that is visible to the student's eyes. Most teachers will DIY or print their classroom agreements as well as a few affirmation posters and pasted them on their wall or even use the items they have around their household as help to keep the posters in place.

The affirmation posters particularly attract my attention and some teachers even change up the posters every few days. Imagining myself as a student that is stuck in front of a screen from morning to afternoon will surely serve as fresh scenery but also trigger myself to think on and reflect on what I have read and feel motivated from it. Not to forget, the saying "out of sight, out of mind" and vice versa. Hence, by being able to constantly look at the information displayed, the longer it will be retained in the memory.

APPLYING INTO MY TEACHING/CLASSROOM:

Having an environment that stimulates thought, creativity, and curiosity as well as supports classroom culture will definitely need to be well planned. Yet through my recent classroom observation, I have a clearer idea and vision of a few things that I think would help create a conducive environment for my future classroom. Some of it includes affirmation posters, simple yet eye-catching content icons, as well as a few sections that can include the students and make them feel like it is their classroom as well such as boards for displaying their works and a birthday calendar corner.

Qlit 2021 - Foundation (google.com)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Foundation helps to align every student to a common vision and culture which can help guide the students on how act and behave during learning and in the classroom. It also allows teachers to explicitly show their expectations to the students and allow students to know what they are expected.

Every beginning of a lesson, the teacher will go through the agreements and rules of the class. I think that it is a good way to start off the lesson as the students are reminded of their promises.

The promises are easy to understand because they are written in a way that students will understand and there are also pictures as an example to show how they should act and behave.

Even though sometimes students did not act according the the agreements the teacher will constantly remind them indirectly like "I like how (student) raise their hand, before unmuting". Students would automatically follow by muting their mic and raising up their hands.

As for the rule, I had noticed once that a student did not follow the rule. They were called out a few times but was not responding, so the teacher had to put them into the breakout room to have a 1 to 1 chat.

Students are quick to point out how nobody can understand what is being said. The teacher also reminds the students to be respectful and use the raise hand functions when asking questions or commenting so that everyone has an opportunity to speak. Respect is also an agreement brought up often to ensure the classroom atmosphere is one that is positive and supportive. Classroom agreements such as respect are needed to ensure that there is order within the classroom.

It's important for the teacher to support their students with kind and motivating words. A safe and supportive environment can go a long way to improve the participation of students in asking questions and being interested in their learning.

Other than giving encouragement towards students to continue being inquisitive, a variety of resources are used to create an interesting lesson that captures the attention of the students. The usage of Peardeck is interactive, therefore students are more likely to pay attention and attempt questions rather than passively taking in information without the ability to give their own ideas. Online games such as WordWall, Quizziz and others are also used to elevate the atmosphere of the class which typically creates a more lighthearted and fun atmosphere. I wish to apply the usage of various resources to keep lessons as fresh whereby students will be excited to see what they will be learning.

The teacher welcomes students with a greeting and smile when students enter zoom classroom. Students also greet teacher either unmuted themselves or type in the chat box. While waiting for other classmates to join the class, students will share about their holiday or after school activity with the teacher. It is quite interesting to listen to students share their stories. I think it is really important to show welcome to students as it can promote a sense of belonging, give students emotional support and also enhance the relationship between teacher and students.

When discussing the answers, teacher will encourage students to answer the questions voluntarily instead of directly calling out their names. Students show their respect by raising their hand before unmuting themselves to answer the questions. Teacher praise students when they have got the right answer and also encourage students who give an incorrect answer. Everyone makes mistakes, it is okay to be wrong. With the positive atmosphere, students are more willing to give the response in the class.

Teaching/classroom Applications

I've seen some very positive strategies to encourage student participation. While online learning may have some restrictions, I see how teachers can still create a positive and safe feeling for students. I would try to adapt these strategies in my classroom by greeting my students as they enter the classroom. I would put up a greeting poster so that students can choose how they would like to greet me and their friends. I would also make sure to check in with my students about their day and their learning is progressing. I would adapt these other strategies to encourage my students to be more proactive in their learning, participate in discussions, and be a kind person to their friends who may be struggling. Here, the atmosphere concept encapsulates the emotional element of the Brain's Natural Learning System, as we learn that if students are emotionally ready they can better absord what they are learning.

C reate a physical space that supports the classroom culture and enhances learning

"Everything in the environment speaks."

What we see, what we hear and what we feel, basically everything in the environment, sends a message to the receivers. In terms of the classroom environment, the choice of furniture, colours, textures, lighting and even audio should be purposefully arranged with careful consideration in order to create a space that is comfortable and motivating for the students and teacher. Affirmation posters, content posters, students' work and classroom agreements are great to display in the learning environment.

Affirmation Posters and Background Audio

In a virtual setting, the teacher does not have any control over students' own learning environment. However, the teacher has full authority in arranging and decorating their own environment to provide students with the extra stimuli for their learning. In my mentor's environment, an affirmation poster can be seen placed on the wall behind her. The printed poster is a motivational quote for learning and it is decorated with many colours. Another interesting aspect that I would like to point out is that the teacher is really alert to the background noises in her space. Occasionally, she would pause her teaching to check if we could hear the noises happening in her background. Luckily, the noises cannot be heard most of the time, therefore, the lessons were never disrupted. It just shows that it is important for a teacher to be constantly aware of the potential distractions and try their best to prevent or limit any of them.

Applying into My Classroom

Although we are in a virtual setting, the environment is still an important component for us to take into careful consideration. The teacher has no control over the students' learning environment at home but we can always remind students to reduce distractions in their surroundings to help them stay focus on their learning. What I can do as a teacher is that I would include affirmation posters in my environment as well. In fact, I have been doing it since the beginning of the school term. I edited said posters onto my virtual background and I would rotate the posters and decorations depending on the topic of lessons. For example, the current IPC topic is 'Negaraku' which is about Malaysia, so I edited a Malaysian flag in my background to echo with the topic.

Atmosphere plays an important role in students' emotions and affective states. It is important for teachers to in the classroom for students to create and maintain a positive atmosphere , as well as feel safe and supported . A positive atmosphere can be established through building rapport, providing acknowledgement and feedback for each good job done, having classroom traditions, etc. a sense of belonging

Practising classroom traditions helps to foster a sense of belonging and togetherness among students. It allows them to build a special connection to the class, with their peers and teachers. Over the first two weeks of observations, it can be seen that my mentor would verbally greet each student (including me!) with a simple 'Hi!' or 'Good morning!', followed up with their names, as we enter the meeting. As we wait for other students to join in, the teacher and students would have a small chat to share whatever is going on in their lives. I assumed that the teacher has already built a close relationship with the students as students are comfortable enough to voluntarily and actively share their personal life. Another tradition that I found interesting is that the teacher would lead students to wave at each other at the beginning of each lesson. I believe this is a practice that is unique to the class and it inspired me to do something similar with my students in the future. Furthermore, it was a student's birthday (2nd September) and the classroom tradition for this special occasion was to have everyone sing the birthday song to the birthday boy together. Well, we can all imagine that singing together virtually can be quite chaotic, nevertheless, it was a fun little activity to show appreciation towards a member of the class. Little practices and classroom traditions as such are effective in helping students to feel included and significant in which benefits their emotional state in the long run.

Classroom traditions may seem insignificant but I believe that it is beneficial for the students emotional well-being. In my future classroom, I would probably do something similar as for greeting my students such as giving them a high five as they enter the classroom for their lessons.

To make the lesson more enjoyable and stimulating, the teacher also incorporates games such as Quizziz and Kahoot to be played. Furthermore, the teacher also provides a secure and welcoming environment in which students can experience excitement and belonging.

The Quantum Learning System's Foundation is a core component that defines the context of the classroom and aligns everyone toward a common vision through procedures (agreements) and rules that clearly define expectations, values, and goals for teachers and students. This creates a learning culture in which students can understand classroom procedures and effectively interact with one another in order to experience successful learning.

Therefore, as educators we need to know how to be clear, overt and consistent with our classroom expectations, values and goals!

Classroom agreements have been a common responsibility students aim to achieve when present in the classroom. The first 5 minutes of the class will be dedicated towards the agreements, as students will be reading them out together with the educator. Even though we are online, the class managed to point out to one another when a friend forgets about an agreement! As the agreements have already been established in the previous term, it wasn't hard for students to recall the agreements, however, the educator still tries their best to remind students as the agreements could be commonly seen in their academic slides.

Learning Outcome & Success Criteria

When planning out lesson plans, I was commonly encouraged to tell my students about the learning outcomes of the lesson, to my surprise and the educator introduced the success criteria too. In my opinion, I believe the success criteria overtly elaborates to students on factors that they could master/gain through the lesson. Both learning outcomes and success criteria act as a stem, it provides students a brief insight on the knowledge they will be able to learn today as it is normally presented before the lesson!

My first couple of weeks in the internship has enlighten me on how QLIT could be elaborated in a classroom setting, I would love to adapt classroom agreements as I believe it acts as a common ground to inform students how to act, behave and communicate - not to forget that we could create these agreements as a class too! Moreover, as mentioned earlier the idea of including the success criteria has been eye - opening because when I was in school, I could see myself lost because I never knew what was expected from me, but through both LO and SC, my students wouldn't feel the same!

My Personal Reflection :)

Posters

I unfortunately didn't had time to make my own posters, but these are 2 posters that I would actually include in my classroom!

It's Okay

I realized through this 2 week experience that the connection you make with yourself is vital. Therefore, I would want to include this poster to remind my students that the journey of learning involves mistakes - and it is never wrong to make them.

Respect

Not only we should encourage students to be kind to themselves, they should be aware on how their actions could influence their peers, or educators emotions. I would want my student to help and guide each other - as learning is not a journey that should be done alone!

"Once a clear, overt, and consistent foundation is established, students can play a large role in determining the agreements about how everyone interacts with one another while the teacher ensures all decisions support a positive foundation."

During my observation, I noticed that Ms. Del always tries to keep her students safe and teach them what is and is the appropriate behavior in class. Classroom agreements are set to teach students a proper and safe way to act within the classroom and thus, improving student learning.

Foundation is the context of the classroom. after two weeks of practicum, I understand the benefits of classroom agreements and I will apply similar agreements in my future classroom.

Environment is the utilization of physical space to support a culture of learning. The ideal classroom environment is inviting, comfortable, and stimulating. Because everything in the classroom sends a message about what is important, the environment is purposefully arranged with careful consideration of how to best maximize the conditions within the classroom. Affirmation and content posters, student work, and class agreements visually support the culture and cognition of a QL classroom. Managing the environment to maximize its support of learning is a continual process. Environment is a core component of the Quantum Learning System.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the classroom was held online via Google Meet. Hence, this inhibited me from attending the physical classroom which would have enabled me to observe and analyze the physical classroom setting. Even though the classes were held online, the technique and approach of teaching that was used by the teacher made the students feel like they were actually present in the physical classroom. No matter the situation, the teacher was always there to guide and help her students whenever they needed her help.

Atmosphere is the general feeling that we create in our classroom for students to feel safe, supported and have a strong sense of belonging.

It is important for teachers to make their students to feel safe at all time. When the students feel psychologically safe they would not have the fear of being judged, humiliated or punished.

Students would feel supported when teachers help them to achieve their goals by h aving high expectations of all students regardless of their previous academic performance. Teachers must also encourage, praise or reward their students throughout the learning process.

A strong sense of belonging is associated with positive outcomes for students' academic achievement and wellbeing. A teacher should connect with his/her students personally and emotionally to create students belonging.

A positive classroom is where a student can focus and promote meaningful learning experiences.

A learning space is an important criteria on each students learning process. In a classroom there must be enough space for easy movement from individual areas to small groups to large gatherings. Teachers have to display affirmations, content posters, student work and arts. This is important because students always absorb information of their surroundings.

In terms of atmosphere, my mentor will greet each and every student before the start of the lesson in the morning. She will say "Good Morning" and read out everyone student's name including mine. When students return back to her zoom after other lessons, she will also welcome everyone back by saying " Welcome Back" and read every student's name including mine. I feel that this makes students feel appreciated as their teacher acknowledges and appreciates their presence.

Other than that, my mentor will also connect with the students by asking them what have they done during the holidays, the weekends and also to share what they have for breakfast and lunch in the chat box. My mentor also gave students opportunities to share about their interest or what they found interesting. In situations when there's insufficient time for sharing, she will ask the students to send it to her privately in Google Classroom and she'll respond to them afterwards.

Furthermore, whenever my mentor asks for responses either verbally or asking the students to type in the chat box, she will thank the students for answering and praise students for the responses given. During the times where I was given the opportunity to contribute in the making of a Kahoot Quiz or to take over a small activity during lessons, my mentor also acknowledges my hard work and invite students to also say thank you or good job to me.

During confidence check and competence check (reflection), my mentor would assure the students that its okay to make mistakes and give encouragement for students to be honest about where do they think they are at in terms of their learning so that she knows who are the students who are still struggling with a certain topic and she can further support them. Whenever, the students gave the wrong answer or response, my mentor will encourage the students to give it another try. In the situation where a student is upset by their mistakes, she invites all of the other students to encourage that student by saying " Dont give up , xxx."

We had 2 birthdays in the past 2 weeks which are my mentor's birthday and one of the students birthday so we had 2 small virtual celebration via zoom. I feel that its a very nice thing for teachers to remember every student's birthday, for the student's to remember their teacher's birthday, for students to remember another student's birthday and ALL birthdays are celebrated. It strengthens the bond between all members of the classroom and make every member of the class feel a strong sense of belonging.

I think Environment is the most difficult to be determined in an online environment. One of the reason is because that not everyone has their own space of their own that could be decorated for their own use. Some teachers also has technical difficulties in terms of the use of virtual backgrounds in Zoom , it just doesn't work. However, I think that the teachers' initiative to maintain a clean background that is not distracting and conducting lesson in a quiet environment is something that should be appreciated.

This section of the portfolio will contain reflections based on the the fourth core concept of Quantum Learning : Design, Delivery, Deepen.

The core component of Design, Delivery, Deepen is actually quite self explanatory. Design is about the crafting of lesson that are effective and allow students to achieve the learning goals in a way that engages students, connects their knowledge, and allows their learning to be used in real-life situations. Delivery is about how the lesson is carried out. It should be done in a way in which students are able to participate in the lesson. It also includes questioning, discussion, and giving effective directions.

What did I see/hear/feel + Application methods

Moving into the next few weeks of working alongside my mentor, I had the opportunity to design one of the lessons used for English. This allowed me to directly apply the QL teaching cycle into my teaching, albeit it being before day 2 of Qlit. It did, however, allow me to better understand why it was a necessary part of the lesson design. After I designed the lesson, my mentor and I went through it together to look at how things could be improved. During that session, we made changes to the lesson and she gave me advice on how I can add certain details to the lesson to make the instruction clearer for students. An example of this is the inclusion of sentence starters. The lesson I planned included poetry writing in it. Since students were required to write their own poems, the inclusion of sentence starters would greatly help them in getting started in their writing. Even now, this is something that I do my best to remember to include whenever it's necessary. It has its uses in questioning as well. For example, if I were to ask a question to a class and I expect a certain kind of answer, giving students a sentence starter gives them a guide rail to follow when answering the question. It sets them up to answer the question and can help weaker students who may not know how to begin to answer the question. With the sentence starter, there is something for them to work with rather than trying to come up with an answer completely on their own. As for being inclusive, that is something that my mentor and I try our best to be. It becomes easier to implement inclusive language with the practice. So much so that it's become second nature to me now. It's in the small things like saying "let's all get on the peardeck" or "let's all get started on our task for today.". I do it all the time without thinking about it now. With regards to questioning,

Design, Delivery and Deepen is the bridge between what is taught and the students prior knowledge. Therefore, it is vital to provide activities in order for students to display their learning for instance asking questions and having open discussions.

Firstly, I would want to highlight that my educator would use specific instructions during activities and discussion. Consequently, it resulted in students paying more attention! Moreover, my educator loves asking questions before the beginning of the lesson, the questions commonly relate to the students' personal lives and she would bring their prior knowledge to the new topic they will be learning. At first, I found it challenging however after a couple of tries, I managed to connect with the students and make them engaged for our lesson! Secondly, I realized that my educator plays a short clip of what they would learn before the lesson starts. I find this beneficial because students commonly feel excited and interested when watching videos. My mentor commonly selects animated videos that have this soothing rhythm to it that also helps students to relax before the class starts.

I am currently in week 6, halfway through my practicum and I got the opportunity to deliver a few lessons to my mentor's class. The process was eye - opening as I got to see the different techniques come to live, however one in particular that I would want to introduce to my own class is the usage of explicit instructions. I had observed both sides of the coin, when my mentor is specific, students tend to be more motivated and engaging. Secondly, as mentioned above, my mentor tries to engage students at the beginning of the class through music. I would really want to use this in my own classroom as I feel that videos is an easy method for students to get a gits of what the lesson would be!

During the first week of my practicum, I was given access to view the lesson plans of all subjects. Prior to each lesson, I took time to go through the lesson plans to have a better understanding of the learning goals, success criteria, activity procedures and learning materials. It can be observed that the QL Teaching Cycle is clearly stated in the lesson plans alongside descriptions on how teachers would carry out the QL Teaching Cycle.

My mentor adheres to the QL Teaching Cycle and it can be observed in each of the lessons. When introducing a new topic, there is always a starter activity to pique students' curiosity and get them thinking about what they will be learning for the following session. My mentor would always ask students questions that would lead them to a new topic, or if they are revisiting a learned content, she would make sure to provide refreshers to help students retrieve their prior knowledge. Various educational tools and activities are creatively incorporated to facilitate students' learning and encourage active engagement with the content. Whenever lessons begin to get repetitive and mundane, the teacher would always bring in new elements to the lesson in order to maintain students' active participation and excitement for learning.

I've seen the implementation of the Quantum Learning Cycle such as the Prepare the Learner, Facilitate Learning & Solidify Learning within the daily lesson plans. Music with timers for questions to be answered as well as end of break indicators such as the Mission Impossible theme help to keep the class coordinated. I've personally created a Prepare the Learners activity for Reading Comprehension in which I used PAWE.

To pique the curiosity of students, I had selected a time travelling scenario in which the slides contained a few pictures of famous figures that were related to their interests. I asked if they were able to recognize them from these photos as well as to create some questions they would like to ask them if they were given the chance. I set a time limit of 2 minutes to create at least 3 questions. I would then acknowledge the answers they had typed out in the chat box. This was extremely useful and a good experience to have for the future.

The Reading Comprehension class was the 1st class of the day. As such, the students state of mind was sleepy, yawning and unfocused, with some noting that they had just woken up for the lesson 2 minutes prior. However, by having a Prepare the Learners activity that was able to capture their attention, it quickly helped to elicit a state of mind whereby they were excited, curious and happy. This was evident in the group work (Facilitate Learning) they had in their breakout rooms in which they were all able to contribute effectively towards the task at hand despite the initial state of mind in the morning which was sleepy and unfocused. Therefore, by changing one aspect of the state of mind, I was able to change them all. I had achieved state facilitation by being able to create a condition that elicited the appropriate state. Consequently, the Solidify Learning aspect of the lesson was also achieved relatively easily as the students were able to skim and scan the related texts to answer their respective questions.
