      Makeup assignment for day 3

      Read the slides for day 3. They contain four student profiles describing how they act. Pick a student profile of your choice and think about the following:

      • Why does the student act as he or she does?
      • What are the the consequences for their learning?
      • How might this student behave in class? What does this look like in the eyes of the teaching assistant and to the other students?
      • What can the teaching assistant do to help this student?

      Write about one page of text describing your thoughts.
