Microteaching Self-Evaluation

Most of the students in my group were excited about my lesson topic, since they've never tasted a green smoothie before. All three of them agreed that it was very informative and they learnt a lot they hadn't known before. They found that the introduction/bridge was clear, one of them noted that the lesson could have started with listing the health benefits of the smoothie first. They all liked the paricipatory hands-on activity,(they touched and tasted the greens). One of the students noted that there was a bit too much lecturing. All three of them found that my time management needs improvement since the smoothie had to be made in a rush at the end of the lesson. All three students were excited about tasting and drinking the smoothie, one of them noted that she wants to try the recipes at home.

Reflecting back on the lesson, I think I used too much time at the beginning lecturing, this is why I ran out of time at the end. Also, I was a little anxious troughout the lesson, probably this could have been prevented if I would have practiced it beforehand. I liked how excited my students were learning about the health benefits of green smoothies. I think that showing students the different kinds of greens, then asking them to touch and taste them was a good addition to the lesson. I also think that the handout I prepared with the health benefits was well appreciated.
For the future I really need to pay attention to timing to avoid losing important
parts at the end of the lesson.
