The textbook used is the Greigg Typing Series Seven. As students enter class, they check the chalkboard. The teacher has written down the task they are to do. Group 2 is assigned to the Mac's, they work out of their textbook using the ClarisWorks Program. Group 3 is assigned to the typewriters, to do a lesson on centering written up by the teacher.
Most students begin working immediately, there is a couple that approach the teacher to talk.
As class progresses the students in Group 3 raise their hand to ask questions. The typewriter is apparently foreign to them. They have questions as to how to complete the assignment, some students ask others for assistance, the teacher explains the process of centering, I noticed that in this assignment reading and math skills are needed to complete the work. The students on the computers are on task, a few stop and chat but get back to work immediately. Graded assignments are given back to students and they are told to file them in a box located behind the teachers desk.
