This Unit is different from the other units as the reader is asked to watch two videos and compare them rather than reading a text. We must use what we have learned from previous lessons to determine which of the two videos presented a more effective lesson. Within the first minute of the first video I already felt uncomfortable due to the glaring errors in his style of teaching. He looked unhappy and spoke to the students in a condescending manner. His poor behaviour continued and although the activities were almost all the same in both lessons, I believe it was his negative attitude that made the lesson an overall failure. In the second lesson the Engage activity was incredibly successful. However, in my own classrooms I have done incredibly similar lessons and my students still are not in engaged. I feel this is due to the differences of the audience, as the video's students are adults who I assume are in the class voluntarily whereas my students are high school students who are not. But overall this unit is helpful in seeing what we have learned put into practice.
