The first pair did a very good job. Natural teachers. Nevertheless, I think both skimming and scanning could have been explained and demonstrated.
The second pair taught a skill useful in grammar and writing. Though punctuation is prescribed by the KBSM specification, it falls under 'Presenting information to different audience' not under 'Processing text'. They are two different things. Thus, it was not a reading lesson. Common sense could have told you that. The only reading part of the lesson is the reading aloud of the letters.
The third pair did an excellent job in explaining the skills and in selecting materials, intructional aids and activities. Bravo.
The fourth pair did a good job. Good to include games in your lesson, but in the real classroom you can't conduct games all the time. Interesting choice of topic. Voice projection could be improved. Skimming is suitable for longer passages, thus, applying the tips given on how to skim for main ideas from paragraphs is somehow not right. When using paragraphs you should teach how to locate or infer the main idea, not skimming for main idea.
The 5th micro-teaching sounded a bit scripted. Should have demonstrated how to locate main idea.
The passage for the last presentation was not suitable for form 1 students.
