My microteaching lesson did not go as I planned. I had chosen to teach everyone how to crochet a chain which looking back was too hard of a concept to cover in 10 minutes. I also had a hard time explaining to everyone how to hold and maneuver the hook, which I wasn't expecting to happen. I should have spent more time preparing for the lesson and looking up different ways to hold a hook so I could have scaffolded better.
You chose quite a challenging topic, and I think you did ok! But good thinking about more scaffolding for this complex activity (and future complex math lessons)! As you build experience and confidence in teaching particular topics, you'll get the feel for how much support and breakdown of the topic people need, especially when they are really new to a topic.
