First Microteaching Reflection

Today I taught 3 people about the Canadian Coat of Arms. Some of the comments I received include that I read off my lesson plan too much, that the diagrams I provided were too small, there were too many consecutive minutes of lecturing, and that the summary was too brief. I have noticed these issues myself and have considered measures to correct them in the future. Obviously to correct reading off the lesson plan too much I must endeavor to study the lesson material more in depth. I can easily print off a larger version of the coat of arms off of the Heritage Canada website, and perhaps even blow up the diagrams I already had. To prevent too many consecutive minutes of lecturing I can interject questions in between each portion of the lesson. Finally I can easily give a summary of the lesson learned at the end.
