20 minutes to teach. At 20 mins your time is up. The lesson should be at least 15
minutes.

30 minutes

Micro-teach
During the set-up and lessons. I will let you know when your time is up. After the
lesson, each teacher will have 1 minute to reflect on how he/she thought the lesson
went in general. What went well? What would you change? Did anything happen that
you did not expect?
During the set-up, the class will be cooperative and participate to the best of their
ability. The same goes for the lesson, unless I have personally arranged with you to
not be so cooperative.
Everyone: Email your plan with all group members ccd on email, so I can give some
feedback on the lesson.

Reading debrief - Save the Last Word for ME

protocal
-Identify what you think is the most significant idea from the Moule Ch 9.
-The first member identifies the point that he/she says is most significant. He/she
does not explain why.
-The other 3 participants have 1 min each to respond to the idea. What does it
make them think about? What questions does it raise?
-The first member now gets the last word. He/she has 3 minutes to state why
he/she chose that point and to respond to or build on what he/she heard from
group members.
-The pattern continues until all group members have had the last word.
