Reflection: Microteaching

Reflection for Oct 2 Microteaching 

     Today, I had the first Microteaching which is teaching Chinese through Chinese Children's song "找朋友”. I enjoyed the process and learned lots. 

	Planning	Actual lived lesson	The process of evaluation
What I learned	I learned about the main structure of the lesson plan, opening, teaching, practicing and closing, and how to organize my teaching content and practice into the lesson plan.	The lesson plan increased my confidence in the lesson. However, I might need to adjust regarding the real students. Still, it’s always better to plan more than less.	Helped me to understand the key factors for having a successful class. Also, I learned from classmates, how they could present the information well.
What worked well	The structure of the lesson plan is good and guided me to organize the real lesson later. By doing the lesson plan, I planed the students’ sheets and prepared the video slip which helped me in a teaching session.	I met challenges in the lesson, two of my students are Chinese. So, Daniel became the only real student to learn Chinese. However, Wangyi and Hugo cooperated with me well. Also, My lesson followed my plan, and I managed time well.	My classmates encouraged me on class design, time management and cared about everyone. Also, they pointed out that I should pay more attention to the clarity of presentation and activities, and the learning objectives.
What to do next	Next time, I should pay more attention to timing. Ten minutes is not much. So I need to choose the topic which is reachable within a limited time.	Pay more attention to clarify of delivering information and consider students' interest. Prepare plan B.	Offer more positive feedback for classmates, because their feedback increased my confidence. That’s important.
