Reflection:
I really enjoyed the process of designing and presenting this microteaching, and one of the reasons is that I am personally interested in this topic. This is a valuable teaching experience. 
According to comments and my self-assessment, I think there is more room to improve upon the Pacing. I should speak slowly and offer my audiences more time to think and response. I think there is the difference between teaching and presenting. Teaching should be student-oriented. Next time, I will create more opportunities to engage my audiences/students

    good job cheryl! It would be better if you can give some more time for students to think and get them to speak up before giving out the answers right away.

    a)3 b)3 c)3 d)2 e)3 f)3 clear slides, and clear transitions for how the words are constructed. I also liked the matching game in the middle of the lesson. I think the only thing missing would be sharing what the next step would be.
