Teaching Practice Phase 2: Day 10

-
I engaged two substitution periods today for 9C class. The class was really difficult to manage with students acting as tearaways to the extent that I felt relieved enough for a strikhedonia when the periods came to an end. We fulfilled noon meal serving duty. In the afternoon, competitions were held for students - one for identifying the authors of famous novels and autobiographies written by English and Indian English writers and the other one on news reading a la a reporter. One of my former students,  Avantika grabbed third prize for the first competition and I congratulated her.

I had last period in 8F class. After distributing notes to the learners and discussing the common errors found in the letters submitted by them in association with the previous day's class activity, I briefed on the topic Noun Phrase. Since I got only about 15 minutes during the last period,  I couldn't take my lesson plan. Even with noun phrases, the students raised a good many doubts. I assured them that I will take the topic in detail later. After line duty, we left the school.

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 heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Thus sang the American poet Henry Wadsworth Long fellow. 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...
