Teaching Practice Phase 2: Day 14

-
Today, we were exempted from morning duty. During the second period,  I started with the song 'We're the World' by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie Jr. for 8F class. I played the song for them using mobile phone. I was dubious as to whether it would be audible to the whole class but it turned out well. Learners could appreciate the music as well as the lyrics of the song. Since the historical context was introduced prior to the nitty-gritties, they could easily answer the comprehension questions. I thought, however, that the learners struggled with completing the class activity of writing a journal entry regarding what they can do to make the world a better place. Though they attempted the activity in groups, the preponderance of the sub-headings in the activity cards seemed to have baffled them. I provided many cues and hints to make them work it out and asked them to freely express their ideas. They submitted the activity sheets and their responses were discussed in the class. 
We did the mid-day meal serving duty with other proteges as usual and then sated our appetite.

 During the fifth period,  Liji ma'am asked me to dictate IT notes to 8E class as she was having leg pain and could not climb the stairs  and I did as instructed.  The class was well disciplined and so I was happy to stand in good stead.
In the last period,  I took a substitution in 8F class and dictated notes on the song which the pupils wrote down in their notebooks. I enjoined them to start studying the chapters in the first unit as I will be conducting  an exam soon for them.After line duty, I went to GCTE to get my lesson plans signed by Isaac sir.

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...
