Week 12...

This was the first week I got to view some of my peers microteach sessions. The variety of subjects presented was amazing and the effort Karen had gone to in setting up the learning space for her napkin folding presentation was fantastic. Everybody had the opportunity to try some napkin folding and had something to take away.

Afeefa had also brought an amazing collection of models and provided a very interactive session. I think that for some in the group this proved to be a little over-stimulating as there was a couple of times where Afeefa lost control of the group, with some learners (quite rudely, in my opinion) holding their own conversations while Afeefa was attempting to address the group.

I recognise this could be a challenge in my own session, which is scheduled in for next week. And I still have so much preparation to do!

Being able to review and assess the work of my peers is providing me with an amazing opportunity to fine-tune my own microteach session; ideas and approaches I hadn't considered and things that could go wrong.
