The classroom has an even distribution of gender, may be approximately 20% Latino and has one African American student. The minority students in the classroom seem to be more socially engaged with each other and have a good relationship with the teacher. For example, Gus from Puerto Rico seemed to be the most socially engaged student and has great report with the teacher who told me "He has a big heart". The more successful students in the content area generally seem to be Caucasian. I do not see any special effort to see how to specifically engage minority students.
Moreno suggests that acknowledge variations among groups as with the example of differing time orientation attitudes. Perhaps give wider due dates can be given rather than a single day.

I need to see a more cohesive response. What does the book say you should do, how is the teacher doing or not doing these things, etc.
