WEEKLY REFLECTION (FEB 20 - 24)

It was the last week of teaching practice. On Monday itself, I completed 40 lesson plans concerning 8th and 9th standard. I took innovative lesson plan in 9th standard and presented the passage in the form of a news report. In 8th standard, the last portion from the chapter The Merchant of Venice and the textual questions were also completed. On the rest of the days, I had taken the poems 'Solitude' and 'My Grandmother's House' without lesson plans as my mentor teacher asked to do so. Even though, I used PPT slides for presenting the poems. I conducted achievement test in 9th standard on 21st February. 34 out of 38 students attended the exam. I took physical education lesson plan in 9th standard on the topic ' Macro and Micro nutrients'. 

Me along with other 3 trainees conducted school based activity on 21st February as the day is observed worldwide International Mother Language Day. As part of the day, we conducted quiz competition, essay competition and poster making competition for 8th and 9th class. Majority of the students participated in quiz and essay competition. Seven groups participated in poster making competition. We selected the winners and announced it in the school assembly. All the students actively participated in the events.

The last day of teaching practice was an unforgettable moment in my life. I bid farewell to my dearest students with tearful eyes. I received lots of love in the form of hugs, kisses and feedbacks. I couldn't control my emotion and I shattered up at one moment and cried. After completing two months of teaching practice, I found so many positive changes in myself as am thankful to my kids for this. Saying farewell to them was the toughest moment.

INNOVATIVE WORK

The innovative work undertaken by me is a newspaper "The Happiness Express". I took the content of a prose "The Trio" and presented it to the students in a novel way. I crafted a newspaper by sticking to the theme and content of the chapter . I crafted such a newspaper by keeping in mind the objectives like information , education, interpretation ,inspiration, providing discussion forum and entertainment. I segmented 6 pages with local news, international news, sports pages, editorial page, and common information . I tried to frame the news paper similar to the structure and pattern of real newspaper. Students have to come forward and read out the newspaper articles, events and have to collaboratively solve the activities included in the newspaper. CLICK HERE TO SEE INNOVATIVE WORK REPORT.   LINK
