Field Experience Report
I decided to go to a seventh grade class on two separate days, April 6th and April 7th to do my field experience observations. The four different classes I observed are part of a school that is located in the lower side of the county of Otsego, New York. The city where the school is located is also known as “City of Hills”.

What are the actions of Washington and Rochambeau of Yorktown, 3. What are the actions of Cornwalls at Yorktown, and the last question was 4. Describe the surrender at Yorktown. While I was observing the first class, there was at least one student in each group that would reword the answers. One of the students were arguing over the actions of Washington in Yorktown. When I was watching them argue over the answer the first thing I thought about was the difference in their cognitive development. One of the students who was girl wanted to write more than what the book explained meanwhile the boy just wanted to copy down word by word from the book. When the two came across to an answer they agreed on and continued working with each
