This was an interesting experience. Some positives that I see from the comments are that there were engaging parts that stood out to the learners, they enjoyed doing the examples and connecting it to real life. Some things that were unexpected for me were some of the questions or "incorrect" examples which we needed to respond to quickly and concisely. I look forward to practicing responding better in practicum. It is also interesting working with group members who have different teaching styles - something I am sure I will be doing a lot of in my practicum. I was reminded that I need to ensure I am using gender-neutral language. It will be interesting to see how the students in my classes respond to worksheets, group discussions or lecturing time - I think different classes/schools have varying cultures and I want to be aware that I may need to adapt what is my default method.
A good and interesting lesson, and very good reflections on the things you take away from it. I'm glad to see you focusing on what went well as well as those things you'd like to improve -- and that each school provides a different culture and context!
