Teaching Practice Phase 2:Day 18

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. 

I took a regular period for 8F today during which I continued with the lesson 'A Shipwrecked Sailor'. I conducted a small  test paper based on the first unit during the last period and returned the corrected papers. Most of the learners performed fairly well in the test. 

I did not have other substitution duties today. We did the midday meal duty. Keerthana and I also took a chill pill in the school canteen.
