I felt comfortable because I knew all the students from freshmen year and I was friends with many of them. The teacher had us read a chapter from our textbook almost every night, so I learned a lot. He gave us quizzes and we were always listening to him speak during class and taking notes. I felt productive because we never wasted time.]]> 2020-09-03 18:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/719175710 Instructions: BAD Class ellenrickes https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/719197230 Write about a time that you felt uncomfortable and unproductive in class.

I did not know any of my classmates because they were juniors, so I didn't have any friends in the class. I felt lonely and uncomfortable for that reason. Also, the teacher never planned any lessons for us, so we did not learn very much. I felt that we wasted so much time talking that we could have spent learning. ]]> 2020-09-03 19:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/719205212 Good Class - Aryana https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726772777 I was in 8th grade, and I was put in Spanish. I was able to learn a lot because my Spanish teacher would drill the words into our head by making us do these activities including the vocab everyday. I always felt comfortable and safe during this class because I've grown up with most of the people in the class with me and the teacher would always help me out with my personal problems or class problems, which made me very productive.]]> 2020-09-08 12:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726772777 Good Class Christina https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726773568 In 7th grade i had a reading teacher and she wouldn't stop the class for bad behavior which was great because my class was bad.She would never stop teaching us she just told the bad kids to get out and wait for security to come get you.I felt safe in that class because i knew the teacher would never let anything happen to us]]> 2020-09-08 12:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726773568 Bad Class : Anderson https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726776514 When I was in my first i feel very uncomfortable and unproductive. in my first class that i played i feel strange because i did not know anyone and did not know how to do the work.]]> 2020-09-08 12:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726776514 Good Class: Julianna https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726777641 This year during 8th grade in math class I was able to learn a lot because it was really quiet inside of the classroom and it was easier to concentrate. I felt comfortable because the way my teacher taught us was easier to me in a way I guess. ]]> 2020-09-08 12:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726777641 Good class: Sierra https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778498 When I was in middle school in 7th grade I had a social studies class. I felt comfortable because I knew everyone in that class and had a couple close friends with me. In that class we did a lot of fun hands on learning and assignments. I felt productive because she had lots of flexible seating so it was easy to work anywhere.]]> 2020-09-08 12:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778498 Good Class: Kristina S. https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778554 A time when I had a good class is when, I was in 8th grade and I actually got all my work done without any distractions.Although the class was very quite and I was dying to talk to someone, I got all my work done and that's all that mattered.]]> 2020-09-08 12:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778554 Good Class: Samyra https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778557 when i was in elementary school in 4th grade i felt comfortable because i was in the same class at my cousin and best friend. The teacher was one of my favorites and always made class easy to understand for us and would help if we were stuck on a problem. I wasnt in the class the whole year because i moved but it was still one of my easy to understand classes]]> 2020-09-08 12:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726778557 Bad Class https://padlet.com/ellenrickes/2bp86m7rny7svh1v/wish/726779073 What made it so that you could not learn? Why did you feel uncomfortable?
 - When the Teacher is being absolutely loud yelling while i was trying to do their work. This made me uncomfortable because it made me feel pressured and felt like i was going to be yelled at if it was not done in time. 

If someone had given you a magic wand in that class, what would you have changed about it?
- The way the Teacher approaches students and certain situations .

She was also my math teacher. She was extremely strict and got ticked off pretty easily. One day I've forgotten something i believe and i was yelled at, in front of the whole class by my teacher.

We all worked together and would help anyone who needed it. It was a small class and the teacher would change her teaching styles to help each student.

The reason it was good is because the teacher always knew how to make it fun and interesting. I was in 7th grade back then so i was able to learn a lot and keep interest. One time i wasn't really comfortable in the environment because there were kids who just hated me for some reason.
