Teaching Practice Phase 2: Day 29

-
I conducted diagnostic test for 8F pupils today based on the topic Question Tags. The analysis of Achievement test answer sheet revealed  that only three students had completely grasped the concept. Knowledge level and application level questions were included for the test. The test was held during the last period. Many students approached me during the lunch break to ask doubts regarding providing question tags in sentences with no direct auxiliary verbs and I tried to dispell their doubts in the best way I could, using examples. Given the time constraints I could not discuss the answers for the diagnostic test. 
I engaged 9C Arabic language students during the 6th period as substitution. It was troublesome  to manage the class despite only a few students there. I learnt that 'Laa' in Arabic means no and 'naam' means yes though I could not familiarise myself with the script. I did not have other substitution duties or discipline duties today.

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 took the rest of the poem 'Marvellous Travel' in 8f class today during the second period. The learners could recall the content dealt with in the previous class.I took the last two stanzas  of the poem there and explained the unfamiliar words using ICT resources. I gave time for the learners to take down the meanings of these words in their note books. A discussion was initiated on the topic 'how to travel without money' and the learners came up with a wide range of ideas like hitchhiking, packing homely food, carrying items for cooking and cooking on the roadside,  travelling by electric vehicles at low cost, carrying tents and camping in allowed places, halting at friends' and relatives' houses and so on. Majority of the students were given a chance to express their view points regarding the topic. The discourse given in class was regarding the formulation of a travel plan with friends. Activities sheets were given so that the pupils could discuss and fill i...
