My observation of the first microteaching session is that there wasn't much teaching going on. It was a more like 'giving the correct answer' session. Handouts were distributed and the correct answers were given without any explanation.
If your lesson plan states that detecting the main idea is one of the objectives, please do teach how to detect main ideas. The instructional aids are supposed to facilitate the learning of this skill or strategy. In fact some of you did not even teach anything making it hard for me to give any marks on some of the evaluation criteria posted in a previous entry. Please minimize or perhaps eliminate totally the reading aloud activity in your microteaching. One group did this activity twice. You can carry out such activity when you start teaching in schools.
For the subsequent sessions please assume that your students are not familiar with the skills or strategies you plan to teach.
Good Luck
