Micro teaching Reflection

Microteaching was really a good exposure towards teaching and then reflecting on what went well and what could have been done better . My topic for microteaching was making of paper bags. I felt that my classmates were well engaged throughout the task of making paper bags. I saw the happiness on their faces after holding their own hand made colorful bags. But what I realized is that although all of them were able to make the bags along with me, we finished the task bit early. I should have made some backup plans.  Although I taught them a way to make handles of their bags, I should have also brought some scissors to actually have them make the handles. I  anticipated that making bags will take a longer time but we finished early. It was due to the fact that somewhere at the back of mind I felt that it will take more than 10 min and I should speed up. Hence, I made the introduction smaller and started making bags. Therefore, in order to cover up the time, I had to extend my closure time more than planned. Overall, I really enjoyed teaching , learned the basic structure of the lesson plan for future lesson plans and also learned to manage the time and the content efficiently. Moreover, feedbacks received from my colleagues are very helpful and appreciable for my future teaching. Moreover, this activity gave me opportunities to learn some very interesting games and strategies that added spark and fun to my beautiful life.
