Teaching Practice Phase 2: Day 32

-
I engaged 5th period as substitution for 7B students. The class was really difficult to manage. The students kept shouting.  Amidst the loud noise, the other pupils were studying for their English exam scheduled in the afternoon. I had to really strain my voice to control the class. There even came a point where my sound was totally subdued by the noise in class. I could not engage in completing my college works in that class. I had to repeatedly raise my voice to manage the learners who were really in different to all my instructions.
I got a regular period for 8F class during the second period and continued with the lesson 'The Little Round Red House' and a substitution period at 8f was also engaged during the fourth period.I made the learners do a role play imitating Mr.Fetzer's farm stand and customers  and went on with a  discussion on the merits and demerits of urbanisation. 
The assignment question on localisation, the merits of locally produced food etc were discussed in the class. The learners thought about the discussion questions and freely shared their opinions.
After the discipline duty I went to the college to sign my internal marks and to get the rough draft of my B.Ed project corrected by Sheena ma'am. She asked me to include the section 'Definition of Key terms'  in the introduction chapter of the project. She also instructed me to change the order of different sections within each chapter of the project.

Enduring the indolence in the wake of a heavy rain,  we reached GGHSS,  Manacaud today. After the morning duty in 9E class, I went on to prepare notes on the next chapter 'The Boy Who Drew Cats' for 8F. During the fourth period, I took a class on the topic Question tags using direct instruction model.  The students' response to different activities showed that though they discerned the topic clearly, they take a lot of time to work out the exercises. I asked the learners to work more on question tags at home as it's an important topic in English.  We were given duty to serve noon meal to the students but when we went for the same, the teachers informed that they would serve the meal. So we returned and relished our lunch. After lunch, I spent time preparing lesson plans for the upcoming classes.

After the morning prayer and pledge I headed to 8F class .Being Saturday the class strength was comparatively low. During the first period I completed the story 'The Mysterious Picture' and gave printed copies of notes to the learners, instructing them to take them down in their note books and submit the same on Wednesday. During the second period, I took a class on suffixes. Since the pupils had already been familiarised with base or root form of word it was easy for them to grasp the concept of suffixes. My teacher, Ms. MajaDevi asked me to speed up the classes as I have to complete two units from the 8th standard textbook before August. I told her to rest assured. Because the LSGI Secretary examination was held in the afternoon with GGHSS Manacaud  as one of its centres, we left the school after lunch. We sought  permission from the HM, Jose sir from the school on Tuesday to attend the NTA-NET exams and he granted leave  for us.

The remembrance day of the renowned Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammed Basheer was observed in the course of the morning assembly with students amped about playing Basheer and his characters on the rostrum. I reached the school by 9.15 am. By that time, all the participating students were dressed up. My fellow trainee Gayathri had helped them in getting ready for the programme. After the morning prayer, a student impersonated Basheer and delivered a talk, appealing to all litterateurs among the audience. This was followed by the rendition of famous dialogues from Basheer's works 'Mathilukal' and 'Pathummayude Aadu' by pupils garbed in diverse clothes. Speech on the day observance was made by the HM and deputy HM. A quiz competition on Basheer and his works was conducted for the students in the afternoon. The first and second prizes were grabbed by 5th grade students.
