Comments or reasons for scoring above:

The lesson of Noura was effective, because I included most of the 5 stages. Also, she finished her
lesson in the appropriate time.
She was moving around and assisting students by asking students and correcting them . Some low
ability students needed help , so she sat with them to present more support.
By the end of the lesson she asked each group to present what they learned today.
I like the way how she introduced the lesson , she created a short story about different types of rocks
, which make it attractive and easier to be understood.

Please add specific comments about the student teachers observed
