Last middle school observation

On my last day at the middle school I went back to where I had my first observation which was a 7th grade language arts class. When I walked in the students were starting silent reading. I noticed that the instructor let some of the students read magazines, just to get them to actually read something. During this time she also passed out book fair handouts, and asked the students for any requests for their classroom library. Although this middle school lacked the technology I would of like, I really enjoyed this experience.
