Feedback from MicroLesson

Most of the students in my micro-lesson felt that my topic was very clear.  They all appreciated the exercise where they had to close their eyes and envision the perfect marshmallow.  Two of the three also noted that they liked the picture of what a perfect marshmallow looked like.  2 of the 3 found that my time management could have been improved as 10 minutes seemed too long for the topic. One student liked the extra exercise of naming the mini-smore.

When I reflect on the lesson, I think the use of a faux fire and a picture of the marshmallow worked very well.  I did find that I had too much time for the topic.  In hindsight, I should have had extra exercises or topics that could have been used if needed.  I also felt that I did not deliver the "hook" to my expectations.  I was a little anxious in the beginning which made me miss the mark on that hook.  I really need to work on my hook and my timing for future lessons.
