Chapter 5:Teaching the Individual, Working with the Group

This chapter talked about know the different types of students that are in your classroom. There are a variety of them and there are deep reasons into why they act the way they do. One thing I can relate to in this chapter is trying to avoid being called on when I felt I did not know the answer.
In this chapter, students said they would look distracted or like they were taking notes when teachers were calling on people. They also said that they were so scared to get ridiculed from their peers and teachers because of the way they talked or if they go the answer wrong. In math and science classes I am one of those students. I feel that I will get the answer wrong so I will look distracted so I will not get called on. I even do this if I think I know the answer because I really do not want to look like a fool.
