The micro teaching was an interesting experience. Complications arose that I did not foresee (one student asked many more questions than I had anticipated) and the students' prior knowledge was more layered than I had hoped for (among the 4 students, there was 1 who was familiar with the game, 1 who was vaguely familiar, 1 who was not familiar but knew a similar game, and 1 who had 0 prior knowledge). This really complicated my 10-minute lesson as I had to relate the game in 4 different ways.
I was pleased to read the feedback and discover two things: my personal feedback was the most critical and everyone's negative feedback focused on the one aspect that I also focused on. This is the most important part of the reflection because it confirms that my lesson did have a problem (I ran out of time and therefore my conclusion was very weak, but my introduction and lesson were OK), but that I understood the problem and know how to improve. I will incorporate what I have learned into my next micro-teaching.
