Ben did a really great job of getting the lesson off to a quick and engaging start. He had a very effective hook to the start of his lesson and the students really bought in. His tone of voice was very friendly and welcoming. It was clear that he was very knowledgable when it came to the text and had options to take the lesson in many directions. He gauged the room very well and made appropriate changes on the fly to keep the lesson flowing. Overall, Ben did an excellent job of facilitating this lesson and I could have sworn he taught this subject area. He also incorporated synonyms into the lesson to help the students understand what some of tough words and characteristics and it worked very well.
