I found this micro-teaching concept to be very entertaining. It was enjoyable to learn and teach each other about something they each enjoyed or was passionate about. My lesson was about the basics of badminton and to teach everyone a simple trick of picking up a birdie/shuttlecock with their rackets. Everyone thought that my lesson was very informative, the information was very clear and concise. They were all happy to see that I was able to provide each and everyone one of them the supplies needed to learn the trick as well. The one issue that everyone mentioned was my time management skills, that I should have had more time for them to participate in trying out the trick or to learn more tricks if possible.
Since badminton is my passion next to teaching, I tend to get carried away with the amount of information that I know about the subject. Thus, causing me to lose track of time at times and to speed up certain parts of my presentation. I will be more aware of time for future reference to when I'm teaching a subject, or try to summarize certain parts in shorter ways. I could see that my group mates (students) were interested in what I was talking about and they even asked me questions (which led to more of my informational overload to answer those questions). The next time I teach, I may tell my students to keep their questions to the end, unless they don't understand what I'm currently talking about. Otherwise, if they seek for extra information, they can ask me after my presentation.
