Bookathon 📚📖

-
Trivandrum District Collectorate teamed up with SFS from different higher education institutions in the district to put into effect its variegated endeavours. Project Aksharam is such an  initiative that aims to transform the 34 community learning centres for students hailing from tribal areas. These study rooms are designed to provide a conducive learning environment for underprivileged students, offering them access to education and knowledge that they might otherwise be deprived of.

The impact of project has been observed to be both beneficial and inspirational in the areas it serves, particularly for students facing unique social circumstances. As part of the Aksharam project, the government  envisions the establishment of libraries alongside each study room to further encourage a culture of reading and knowledge exploration. The Aksharam - Bookathon campaign, actively involving students from various colleges within the district, seeks to collect books to stock these libraries. The official inauguration of Bookathon in Govt College of Teacher Education was held on 10 August 2023. Ms. Bhagya Murali from the department of English was the student coordinator. The bookathon had its inception with Ms. Sruthi GS from the department of commerce handing over the books donated by herself to the principal Dr. AV Sujith. We too became a part of this noble campaign by generously donating books to empower and uplift the deserving young minds. The books collected were handed over to representatives from the collectorate. We felt proud to have become a part of this social service.

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...
