Obviously, your activities might be too dull and boring. You should have prepared exciting tasks for your learners

Master Teacher: We have received the summary of classroom observations from the

office and findings have identified that our pupils do not participate that

much in the class. Any reaction?

Teacher A: I think that’s not the case in my classroom.

Master Teacher: Really? I assume that it might have been observed in your class. When I came to pass by your room one time, I noticed that your learners at the back were just playing. How about you, Ma’am?

Teacher B: I think we need to figure out the reasons why such observations were

noted.

Master Teacher: Obviously, your activities might be too dull and boring. You should have

prepared exciting tasks for your learners. You should have established rules. You should have performed better during class observations. I think if you do these things, then you’ll engage your learners.

Does everybody agree with me?

Teachers: Yes, Ma’am.
