In a classroom when a teacher asks you if you are paying attention and how do they know when your not? A main part of both participation and communication is good eye contact!

• School independent learning: In school a lot of the time you need to do independent Learning. The teachers will assign work and you have to go of and do it. But what do you do when you get an assignment? You do independent work and work hard to get in done.
