Chapter 1

The part of chapter one that caught my attention was the part when the kids were talking about body language and how to know a student without just asking them directly. They thought that teachers should be able to read your body language and know what a student is feeling. They also thought that the teacher should be discrete about getting to know the student but they should get to know them well.

This section jumped out at me because I never really thought about how I would get to know the students without being obvious. I also never really thought of reading the students body language. I'm not really sure that I have the skills to do that yet. I never really noticed how important it is to read a students body language. It makes me think of how I will get to know the students and what teachniques I will use. I wonder how discretely I can get to know my students while letting them know that I am trying to get to know them.

4/5 Great QR.

It's the body language of the students, therefore you should write "students' body language" with an apostrophe at the end of students to show possession. If it was one student, it would be "a student's body language".
