Microteaching reflection

I decorated my bobby pin in four minutes at home, so I figured it would take others in my group a couple of extra minutes. However, they took the whole ten minutes to finish one while they were following my instructions. So, I guess I didn't know about their prior knowledge. Some students needed more help than others. Some of my students with more prior knowledge were interested in more ideas but I did not have time to show her some of the other things that she could do because I was helping the students who were struggling. They also mentioned that I should have emphasized its importance. Again, I can go back to time fort that,  I planned to do that mention how much kids appreciate hand made things but ran out time. This exercise is very useful for us because we get to practice planning and giving lessons in a timely fashion. Timing is the biggest challenge for me.
