Teaching Practice: Phase 2- Day 2

-
After the morning prayer as I was chit chatting with my fellow teacher trainees,  I got a substitution period in 8F class. Thus I could continue with the lesson 'The Mysterious Picture'. I could also meet many who didn't get to attend the previous day's class due to SPC training. Still I am no better in recalling the names of those whom I acquainted with yesterday except a few. I engaged a regular hour during the fourth period. A discourse on dialogue writing was assigned to students in groups. Two from each of the four groups were made to present the same before the class and it was a splendid experience for the learners filled with fun, laughter and learning. I could manage the class however with the cooperation of the learners. Apart from these two periods in 8F, I got substitution hour in 9F. To while away the time, I divided the class into two story telling circles. Each student from a circle took turn to narrate a story which was continued by another student in an impromptu fashion. The last student in these circles completed the story they began. The whole exercise was entertaining and spirited.I was immensely pleased that many of my former students (from 8E and 9F classes of first phase internship) came running to me and asked my whereabouts. They were eager to know if I have classes with them but sadly I do not. We spoke for a while and parted, promising to meet again.

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...
