We were lucky enough to observe a 4th grade class being introduced to critiquing. They were given work to critique in pairs and the students seemed to be enjoying it. Two students then gave us a short tour of the classroom. It was really interesting to see how excited the students were about showing us their work. At the end of the tour I was given a booklet which contained information about one of their projects and an address to a blog site they had created.
We also quickly looked at an X-Block lesson which was American football. We were asked if we wanted to join in but we declined.
