Sri Raman P was the resource person.  Prior to the starting of the session, he inspired us with the display of the exceptional still models and working models prepared by him and which earned him many awards and accolades at the national level.

He guided us in preparing charts on the first day, deeply delving into the details of the same, including how to hold a chisel marker, how to write different alphabets in Malayalam, English, Hindi and other languages, how to write clearly , boldly and legibly, how to judiciously make use of chart space and the like. In the afternoon session we were instructed to prepare charts on our own related to the subjects of our study. Everyone actively participated in it. Raman sir constantly walked among all students, clearing all their doubts. Finally he evaluated everyone's charts and made necessary corrections.


On the second day, the session began at 9:30 am and the preparation of models was scheduled on that day. He showed us various models he prepared related to each subject. By knowing some of the techniques of teaching aid we got surprised. This generated some innovative ideas in our mind too. Although it takes more time to make these teaching aids, students can understand the concepts very well.

The workshop provided hands on experience for the students. Everyone involved in the teaching aid preparation with utmost sincerity.  The resource person shared some simple techniques of making models which can only be seen in exhibitions. The workshop provided an opportunity for students to evoke their creativity.  Moreover the dedication, sincerity and simplicity of the resource person surprised us. He was constantly navigating from one student to another, clarifying their doubts and motivating each and every one of us.

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.

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...
