Comments: Well done, Stephen! You have commented on most of the significant events in this lesson in regard to PCK. The lesson was fairly dry and
would have benefitted from more rich and engaging questions as you mentioned. There was a lot of variation of approach with 2 screens and the USB
clickers to maintain interest. What was missing even more was the student voice and this needed even more comment this was a clear direct
instruction lesson. You mentioned the clear communication of the teacher and that he did take up one opportunity to look at how incorrect answers
could have occurred there were other opportunities. The individual seating was a significant teaching approach and added to the lack of student
discussion.
