Favour did an outstanding job creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment. She made a strong effort to pronounce everyone’s name correctly and asked for corrections when unsure, which helped build respect and rapport. Her story about her own challenges with the college essay process made her relatable and helped normalize any anxiety the students may have been feeling. Throughout the session, she celebrated participation, encouraged students to share about themselves, and treated every contribution with kindness and appreciation. This approach undoubtedly strengthened learners’ confidence and comfort, laying a strong foundation for future vulnerability and deeper writing work. Her tone was consistently warm and approachable, which is vital in building a safe space for personal storytelling.

Favour showed great adaptability throughout the session. When her camera wasn’t working, she communicated the issue clearly without letting it affect the flow of the session. She gave additional time when learners requested it, whether it was for the pre-survey or writing tasks, demonstrating flexibility and a willingness to meet learners where they were. When the annotation tool didn’t work well for the classroom contract activity, she quickly pivoted to using the chat, ensuring everyone could still participate. She also acknowledged individual student responses thoughtfully, which shows her attentiveness to each participant's level of comfort and needs. These examples reflect her responsiveness and commitment to making the session inclusive and effective for all learners.

Favour kept learners engaged by encouraging them to participate in multiple ways—chat, annotation, and verbal sharing. She created space for students to contribute their thoughts, introduced the popcorn method for free write sharing, and actively responded to each student’s input with affirmation and enthusiasm. Her interactions during the pitfalls activity were particularly strong; she allowed learners to take ownership of assigned topics, offered positive reinforcement after each response, and added thoughtful clarifications to enhance understanding. Favour also encouraged reflection by asking how students felt about essay writing, creating an opportunity for authentic discussion. Her consistent prompting and inclusion of all participants fostered a highly engaging and interactive environment.
