Inauguration of Anti-Narcotic Club, Nerkootam Committee and Sradha Committee.

-
On 26th October 2022, the students of GCTE Thycaud had gathered together at the UGC Hall of the college to bear testimony to the inauguration of Anti-Narcotic club, Nerkootam Committee and Sradha Committee. The event commenced at 11am on the same day with the exhortation "Say No to Drugs". The programme convenor was Dr.VK Santhosh Kumar, Principal, GCTE;  Dr.Rajashree, Head of the Department of Natural Science coordinated the whole programme with the help of the student coordinators Ms. Sreekutty SS and Ms. Bincy B, Research Scholars, GCTE. The programme started with the rendition of prayer song by Ms. Karthika Suresh from 2nd Semester B.Ed (Social Science) . The welcome address was given by the principal followed by presidential address by PTA Vice President Shri. Sabu Valerian. The official inauguration of the aforesaid clubs were done by Shri PK Jayaraj, Excise Division Officer, Fort, Trivandrum. He had delivered an eye-opening and thought-provoking session on drug abuse and the related menaces in our society which largely stemmed from his official first-hand experiences. By relating real life incidents on substance abuse, he admonitions the audience to refrain from the same. He lamented the dangerous turn that the lives of youths take, reminding us of the personal, professional, legal, social and national consequences of the same. He added the political dimension of substance abuse too - how the top brass wanted to silence the coming generation by weering them away from issues of contemporary relevance and those issues which affect the everyday lives of the masses, by luring the young men and women to such temporary and dastardly pleasures. Though the manner in which the speaker related the youth's sense and awareness of their rights and freedom to substance use was a bit unacceptable and debatable considering the generalisation he made, the impact of the session in totality is laudable and worthy. Felicitation ensued from the part of Thycaud Ward Councillor Shri Madhava Das who asserted the steps that could be taken at the ward level to curb the issue. Felicitation addresses were also given by Dr.Jolly S, Vice Principal, GCTE; Ms. Gayatri BL, College Union Chairperson and Ms.Mettilda Alphonsa, Anti-Narcotic club convenor. Rajashree ma'am delivered the vote of thanks and the programme took its wrap with the singing of the National Anthem.

Teaching Practice: Phase 1: Day 22

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.

Christmas was traditionally a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in the early 20th century, it also became a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike.Popular customs of Christmas  include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

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...
