Teaching Practice Phase 2: Day 6

-
The day commenced with a special assembly related to Reading Day celebration. The assembly was marked by a prayer song followed by a brief  dissemination of the history of reading and libraries in Kerala. PN Panicker's biography was read out and he was remembered and rendered tribute for his contributions. The reading day celebration at GGHSS  Manacaud  was inaugurated by the lighting of lamp by  Jose sir and the deputy headmaster. This was followed by recitation of the poems entitled 'Pustakangal' (translated as Books) by the Malayalam writer NV Krishna Warrier and Daffodils by Wordsworth. A short skit was enacted with the character Najeeb from Benyamin's novel Goat Life as the centre.  Reading day poem and pledge were recited. HM, Deputy headmaster and staff secretary gave the reading day message to the students. The drizzle in the course of the morning assembly lightened  the atmosphere. 

 I headed to 8F class during the second period but the class tutor borrowed my period since I was the one who engaged her class hours in the previous day. I went on with my internship based works till afternoon. Associated with reading day and literature a quiz was held in one of the classrooms with interested students from different classes participating in the same. During the last two periods I got substitution  in 7th grade classes. After line duty we left the school. Towards the end of the day,we learnt that the NTA-NET  examination which was conducted  the previous day got cancelled owing to some cyber attack and subsequent CBI report submitted to the Ministry of Education,  Government of India. Indeed the news was spirit dampening  because we were under the assumption that since the exam was comparatively easy we could crack the same. Now looking forward to the fresh exam date announcement ...

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...
