Tasks 5

The document describes observation tasks for student teachers to gain understanding of different learning styles and abilities in students. It provides instructions for observing both a lower-level and higher-level learner over two weeks. Notes are provided from observing one student, Fatima Ahmed, throughout the day. The notes show Fatima engaged in circle time, individual and group activities, though she seemed to lose focus writing and found other activities more engaging. Interactions with peers involved talking, playing, and observing others. During breaks she played individually with sand or games. Her attention span seemed best for artistic expression but least for writing activities.
