My topic for micro teaching was benefits of stretching in our daily lives. Everybody finds it very interesting and helpful. It was a well planned lesson with everything clear in my mind, but one thing that I lacked is rehearsal which caused nervousness in me. Even though I did rehearsal 2-3 times but I think I should do it more. My reflection on it is that I got nerves in the beginning of the activity because I was expecting it in a small group. Also, the people passing near our circle from other classes distracted me. I really felt very sad about my nervousness after the completion of the activity. But I was not nervous through out the overall activity, I overcame my nervousness in the middle. Everything went very well in the middle and in the end.
I found it very helpful for me that I got the chance to teach a big group and received their feedback. Most of their feedback was on my nervousness, everything else was good. For the next micro teaching I will try to utilize more time for rehearsal to avoid nervousness.
Thanks for dealing with the extra people that joined your group, Karmdeep! You had a well-planned lesson and every reason to feel confident. With a bit more experience and a realization that the focus is on the students, not you, I know you will be able to relax and shine even more!
