This assignment centers on four videotapes of one-on-one lessons conducted by two fifth-grade teachers with one student. One teacher had this student for three sessions, the second teacher had this student for one session.

Each video is approximately 30 minutes in length. I encourage you to view them with at least one other person, if possible. You will need a high-speed connection to view the videos (on-campus access will be high-speed).

While viewing a video, write observations at regular junctures (e.g., about every 5 minutes, or after a significant episode) of what has transpired between the teacher and student. Preserve your notes to give your instructor a copy..

1. View Lessons 1 and 2. Take notes.
   
   Write an essay that describes what transpired in each lesson. What did the student understand? What did she not understand? What did the teacher do to help the student? How did the teacher contribute to the student's understanding or misunderstanding? In short, describe what transpired and point to evidence in the videos (by line number in the transcript) that backs what you claim happened. Name your file using the format
