THE THIRD WEEK OF BEAUTIFUL PRACTICE TEACHING (NOVEMBER 27,2017- NOVEMBER 30, 2017)

       

  THEIR PRACTICE SESSIONS

Another week passed by, it was real fun to be a part of a school. We are no longer teacher trainees in the school, the teachers as well as staffs made us believe that we are also a part of this big institution. We were assigned all the duties which  a teacher is doing in the school. Sharing the experience as teachers brings in me immense joy and happiness...

27th November 2017

       My chapter, The Last Leaf was over by 24th November and activities related to the chapter has to be completed. So I decided to start off with discussing the textual questions and eventually going to activities. Chart describing pictures, activity card, information sheets were prepared to teach the students prepositions today. I went into the class with a bit confidence that I could be able to manage the class and cater the interest of the students. After Youth Festival practices are going on, it is really a great task to sit at the library and do some works. There will always be a bunch of students practicing for different events. My teacher consent was severely suffering from vocal cord problems, she was forced to take voice rest for two weeks under doctor's supervision. She inquired whether I could take the classes for 9G and 9F. I was bit depressed, I should take four periods each day. I was with the hope that everything would go well. The last leaf was taught to both the classes. In my class I discussed the textual questions as well as introduced prepositions to the students. Hey really enjoyed taking classes to the students. The class went as expected and I was able to catch the interest of the students.

28 November 2017

       We have been sailing into a nowhere land where everything appears vague and obscure as well as busy. Almost all the works are complete but some are yet waiting for its fulfillment. It seems easy to take classes but when it comes to Reality a teacher should focus on each students, help him to learn in his own pace, which becomes difficult I have decided to teach students affixes today. Teaching aids related to the same was prepared. The class was very active and hence was able to maintain the energy throughout. Activities describing the grammatical structure when used judiciously catered to the interest of students. My students made their greeting cards today in the class. They are really talented. 

       On this day I taught students affixes through concept attainment model. It is often a fact that teachers find it difficult to teach grammar as there are no much interesting elements. But concept attainment model enable students as well as teachers to comprehend the topic. I thought about different strategy the follow and the class based on models of teaching came into my mind. Students were able to easily understand the topic.

      After the class we went for noon feeding. It was a varied experience.

29 November 2017

      These days were really busy as a Sub District youth festival is going on as always the way was filled with substitution and brought in tonz of experience in a teaching practice days. Many activities are yet to be completed in 9C. Students were introduced modal auxiliaries which was displayed with the help of an information sheet. Activities related were done in the class itself. A card displaying certain images were shown. Students were asked to guess what the pictures were.

In the next period students were taught conjunctions. The day made us really dizzy.

  An inspirational tale of friendship,  passion and love, the last leaf. On 28 November I have decided to teach children a new tale of love and friendship. It is a short story by O Henry, who wrote inspirational stories and romanticized the lives of common people. I have prepared some character cards of prominent figures in the story. I was a bit confident that I would be able to get the interest of the students using the teaching aid. I went for Peer review, the class was interesting as well as thought provoking. The teacher was teaching The Nightingale and the Rose.

22nd November 2017

       As I started a new chapter the last day, I thought I will teach the rest of the passages so that the continuity of the chapter will not be lost. Word inference cards, jumbled sentences to improve classroom practices were used as the teaching aid. A self prepared glossary was given to the children for reference. It was a fun filled and enjoyable class.

23rd November 2017

         I had in mind to act out story The Last Leaf. I introduced my idea to the students. They were really happy when they heard that are going to act the story. Apart from teaching, I had to chat with friends as well as students. I was happy with the day's class. Students were promoted to refer to the dictionary. 

.24th November 2017

        The story has come to an end. Last leaf has reached its climax. The Twist of the story was taught. Crossword puzzles containing questions based on the chapter was provided to each group. I learned to deal with different questions and doubts from the side of students. They really enjoy doing activities which made me think that they should be more resourceful in dealing with the secondary school students. 

The week,An overview

         I was really happy with the week. I learnt many things apart from teaching. I learnt to adjust myself and to the changing situations. I was able to complete the lessons on time. Teaching aids where use wherever necessary with active corporation of students, child management was also satisfactory. I taught the lessons much better than the previous week.

        We have been sent the respective schools for teaching practice. On Tuesday we were called back by the institution to take part in the choir competition held under the guidance of the teachers of our sister institutions. The day was fun filled.

              Teaching brings in the best experience where both the students and teachers put in efforts to improve classes. Teacher brings into practice novel ideas into classroom so as to make the classes attractive and interesting.  The effectiveness of a class depends on the variety of aids a teacher uses. Teaching practice is an inculcation of all the values and attitudes into practice by the teacher. It is this immersion into the real world of school that prepares the student in making the transition from trainee to professional. 

            As part of the second phase of teaching practice ,we were assigned visit the school and collect it is regarding the topic to be taught. I was assigned take classes for the 9th standard students under the guidance of Ms. Bindhu T John. She gave necessary guidelines and portions to be taught full stop. Lesson plans were prepared accordingly and various teaching aids were prepared. Teaching practice was about to start on 13th of November 2017. We were all excited to take up the role of teachers once again it was a pleasure teaching a bunch of vibrant students.

We set of teacher trainees, chose St. Mary's Higher Secondary School for teaching practice.On 13th November we marched into the school with a bunch of teaching aids and needed equipment. It was a day filled with expectation and excitement. I was given a new class and hence was a bit nervous. The start was dramatic. It was announced that the mid term exams were on the go and hence there is a chance for us to miss the classes. Many of us were distressed as the exams took place during the afternoons and most of us had classes in the afternoon. We looked eagerly in the substitution register, but went vein. We did not get classes that day. Many co curricular activities apart from teaching gained our interest. We were instructed to serve the students as part of noon feeding programme. Afternoon session was to an extent period of stress and strain. We were assigned to count and rearrange the unordered answer sheet of the unit test. Is was a tiresome job and we found it difficult to locate certain paper. The school was dispersed by 4 p.m. and we went for the line duty. The day was on the whole interesting as well as exciting.

Many events were organised accordingly. Headmaster delivered the Children's Day message to the students.

Time spend in the class was very thoughtful. We interacted with each other and had beautiful time spend together. The students were first excited to see the teacher. They were hesitant to give responses last time went by they started interacting with me.
