Remembering Mahatma

-
On October 7, 2022, "Remembering Mahatma" programme was conducted at the General Hall of GCTE, Thycaud as a part of Gandhi Jayanthi Celebration. The event commenced with the rendition of prayer song by Salini VS, followed by welcome speech by Abhijith BJ. The presidential address by respected principal Dr. VK Santhosh Kumar ensued wherein he talked at length about the life and message of Gandhiji and its revelance in the contemporary scenario in which his ideas are misinterpreted for selfish and political ends. Felicitation address was given by Assistant Professor of Hindi and Staff Secretary Dr. Jayakrishna K. She drew our attention to the DPEP system supported by Mahatma and the measures he took to back the cause of the villagers and harijans all across India. Reshma CM invited the attention of the audience through her speech on the relevance of Gandhian philosophy in the 21st century, particularly the importance of adhering to the values of truth and ahimsa or non-violence in the present  scenario marked by post-truth politics and journalism and where people have no qualms upon inflicting pain upon fellow beings fir fulfilling  selfish motives. The vote of thanks was rendered by Vismaya P. The event concluded with a quiz competition that focused on Gandhiji and the Indian National movement. The participation from the part of students exceeded all expectations. A total of twenty questions were provided and the quiz was held in the written form. Whereas a senior BEd student team comprising of two members bagged the first position in the quiz, the second and third positions were adorned by teams from junior BEd class (Semester 1). The quiz competition was monitored by Vishnu from 1st M.Ed.

I engaged two periods for 8E class today. Since the lesson 'The Nightingale and the Rose' was completed, I gave the learners a few activities based on the same. A story board completion chart was displayed and the learners were randomly called to complete it. After the task, the teacher confirmed the answers and cleared doubts.  I also made the learners do a passage editing activity and error correction activity. During the last period, I conducted a test for them on the poem 'The Sower'. The examination was held for 15 marks and for thirty minutes duration. Since I could not take print outs of the question paper, I wrote down the questions on the board and asked the learners to write down the answers.  After collecting the answer sheets, I asked the pupils to complete a few activities,  including poster making activity given in their English Reader and submit the works by Monday.

I engaged two periods for 9F today and completed the story 'The Last Leaf' for them. Then I gave necessary instructions to them so that they could complete the textual exercises on their own. I asked the pupils to come up with alternative titles for the lesson . I also dictated to them notes on the poem 'On Killing a Tree' which they took down in their notebooks.  For 8E class, I continued with the story 'A Day in the Country' using vocabulary and powerpoint slides as aid. I had to rush the lesson a bit since their portions were pending and revision classes were about to begin prior to the Christmas examination.  Preparations for the upcoming state-level vocational fests have already begun. My fellow teacher trainees took Physical Education classes during the second and third periods. Manju ma'am asked me to hold a retest for 9F students who could not attend the mid-term examination on Monday. Overall, the day went as usual, in an uneventful mann...

I took the rest of the poem 'Marvellous Travel' in 8f class today during the second period. The learners could recall the content dealt with in the previous class.I took the last two stanzas  of the poem there and explained the unfamiliar words using ICT resources. I gave time for the learners to take down the meanings of these words in their note books. A discussion was initiated on the topic 'how to travel without money' and the learners came up with a wide range of ideas like hitchhiking, packing homely food, carrying items for cooking and cooking on the roadside,  travelling by electric vehicles at low cost, carrying tents and camping in allowed places, halting at friends' and relatives' houses and so on. Majority of the students were given a chance to express their view points regarding the topic. The discourse given in class was regarding the formulation of a travel plan with friends. Activities sheets were given so that the pupils could discuss and fill i...
