MICRO-TEACHING FEEDBACK

1. Did the teacher motivate you to want to read?

Quite enough.

2. How effectively did the activity help you to comprehend the entire reading text?

It was helpful because it made us think of the general idea first. Starting from the title allows you to immediately and inconsciously brainstorm and expect something out of the text.

3. How would you improve the activity?

Given the shorteness of the teaching lesson I think it was quite good and motivating. I would advise the teacher went around the class and checked out how the groups are actually working.

4. Which reading skills were practised?

Reading for gist and reading for scanning principally.

5. Are the reading skills in the activity useful in real life? Yes, I think they are because if you think about it you read in the same way when you read a newspaper for example: you select an article and look for the main information. Eventually you look for details but first of all it is the gist what you are after. I think this strategy helps you to find out the topic of  a text in the minimum time.
