• Student motivation and engagement
I decided to write about this group because I think they achieved motivation from the students. First of all, the topic was interesting but more than that the way my classmates presented the class was stimulating.
One of the most difficult tasks for a teacher is to get students motivated. My classmates did it with no problem. At the beginning they gave the task and the instruction. In fact, they even gave an example which is always necessary when we do an activity.
To finish I would like to say that my classmates developed one of the most significant aspect during the teaching practice which is critical thinking. During the video I could see how they asked not just for the correct answer but also the reason of it. When students said that one of the pictures was correct my classmates asked the reason why. I consider that this micro teaching shows a very good way of getting critical thinking from your students through an interesting and motivation game.

Teacher talk and student interaction
This was the aspect I chose from my group of classmates. I think one of the most important aspect in the classroom is the interaction between the members and mostly if it is a language lesson.
What I observed from this group was about the interaction between the students and the educator. I consider they gave enough opportunities to students participate. In fact, they waited considerable time to students take their time which I think is a very good strategy. Students do not have the same proficiency level, so teachers have to take that into account.
As a conclusion, I would say that classroom interaction is a big matter at school. Students do not have enough time to participate. But also, interaction is required to achieve communication within the classroom. Language acquisition requires communicative interaction. This group was supposed to be working with young kids which mean that interaction between peers is kind of difficult, so this has to be with the teacher.
