Hello people
It's time to start our work and discussion on line. I really hope that it would be of great interest to you and helpful in further academic work.
The first week of the practice was a bit fussy and messy. This is the realia of first days at school. But I guess you've started as passive as active practice. So I'm ready to help you and respond you to any question of yours.
Good luck!!!

I would like to begin with a few words of thanks to Tatiana Letyaikina for the latest innovation. My own opinion is that it is an exciting opportunity for us, students-teachers-to-be, not just to accomplish our tasks and forget about them, but to get feedback via discussions and sharing our findings.
Classroom climate
School № 8, grade: 8
Bearing in mind that the table may take a lot of space and isn’t really necessary to be here, I would like to concentrate on the comments.
The seating arrangement in the classroom I observed is very traditional for schools: three rows of desks. There were 10 students. And I must say that it is the maximum, because the class is divided into three groups for their English. That is why there is no need to talk much about balance between teacher’s attendance to the students at the back and at the first desks. Distribution of teacher’s attendance is mostly equal. I doubt that another seating arrangement can be more reasonable.
Students are free to choose seats and partners to sit with. I’ve noticed regularity in their choice. Students who are more motivated try to take the seat as nearer to teacher’s table as possible. These students feel more comfort to tasks and as a rule produce more speech. But keep in mind that they may not occupy the seats of the first desks. Students who are less motivated always find such places from where they believe they are “invisible” for their teacher.
“Gender-related differences in physical behavior” and “relationship between learners’ physical behavior of different gender and their attitude to each other” have been mystery to me for 2 years. And still it is. I don’t see any differences at all. It must be admitted that sex doesn’t serve as a criterion of behavior distinguishing any longer. We have naughty boys in our classes as well as naughty girls; we have girls with leader skills and boys who are weak-willed. I can clearly see how students of different types of temperament, students of inner or outer directivity, students with different-leveled self-esteems and students with different life values interact with each other. If you have an intent look on how social roles are distributed in modern society, you may see that the border of male and female roles is faded. I might be mistaken in what you have just read. If you thing so, please, let me know your opinion with examples.
Thanks for good words and ur work! Good start!!!
There is no doubts about the level of motivation of studnets at different rows but the question is if the teacher uses this very type of motivation and if she attends to motivated students or she tries to attend those who are at the back rows and sears?
As for gender differences, I might agree partially. You may argue about the stereotypes and general opinion that exist(ed) in society. But you might think of why these transmissions occur, what is the reason of boys becoming naughty and noisy, but girls being more likely leaders?
But the question relates to if there is any difference in their participation. That is!
