SECOND PHASE OF TEACHING PRACTICE : WEEKLY REFLECTION (12 - 16 JUNE, 2023)

The second phase of teaching practice has started on 12th june, 2023. As same of the last time, we three teacher trainees opted Vivekananda H S for Girls, kadampanad. We reached the school on time, handed over the attendance register to HM Indulal Sir and greeted other teachers. I didnt felt a tension as we r familiar with the environment. My old kids came to me out of excitement and we both were happy to see each other. I was totally eager to see my new students.

I got an hour and went to my assigned class 9. A. There were 34 students in total. Initially, we had an informal interaction and I just provided an outline of the story so far taken by their English teacher, so that it could be easy for me to begin actual classes from the next day. Throughout the week, I completed 4 lesson plans, used teaching aids like charts, videos, pictures etc. Even, I had taken one ICT lesson template. Students were cooperative enough to complete the textual activities and discourses. 

There was a health medical camp were set up to check the haemoglobin (HB) level of 10th standard students. We intruded and randomly checked our HB level too. It was normal. There wasn't any non academic activities taken place this week. SPC selection process were going on this week. Wholly, the week went well as per the planning.  

Trainees gathered at college on Saturday to conduct the weekend reflection and take signs for LP from optional teachers. One representative from each school commented about their school experience. Some of the trainees shared awful experiences like students were not cooperative, inappropriate behavior, not interested in classes. One trainee mentioned that she have a locomotive student in class accompanied by her mother, a few POCSO case students were there. Another trainee said about an inclusive student in her classroom. Most of them had good experience in their teaching practice.

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
