In the first lesson I attended, the students were in a blur of activity as we caught them midway through the class. In spite of the marketplace atmosphere I felt that the teacher was never in danger of losing the class; she either stood at the head of the class observing their actions or walked around surveying their work. As it was a secondary 1 class, I think her use of the auction (iirc) was useful in engaging students in the activity. Did she meet her objectives? I think so, the students were creative in thinking about the terms given to them to express.
In the second lesson I attended students had to sell their idea of a political poster. The students seemed seemingly engaged, especially when their peers essentially became politicians themselves trying to convince the teacher of their creativity. Like Afiah said, they were given the rubrics, but I don't kow if they were clear to the students as the teacher said something at the end of the lesson about how some of them didn't seem to know what was required of them. But overall I think that she achieved her objectives, judging from the explanations I heard from the students.
