• 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.
