As my class size went unexpectedly from 3 to approximately 10 students the lesson plan I had made had to be adjusted last minute. This made me nervous but it was a good learning experience as you never know what will happen in the classroom and you have to always be ready to deal with the unexpected.
The general consensus from my feedback was that I gave good descriptions of the poses and clear instructions. My lack of attention to individuals was brought up but this was to be expected. I had originally planned to go around the class giving feedback and advice as the students were trying the poses, but my class size was too large to manoeuvre around and to get through everyone in the allocated 10 minutes, I therefore decided to eliminate this part of the lesson.
One final point that was brought up was that one person found the lesson difficult. Possibly I should have had a really easy pose that those who were uncomfortable with the lesson could do instead so no-one was left out, this is not something that I foresaw. I have to become more aware of the extreme range of abilities in any classroom.
