Day: 11

Date: 09/01/23 (Monday)

 

            Today was my Eleventh day in school; I reached the school a little bit early by 9:30am. We all the 6 student trainee faculty were present. We greeted each other and reached or seat which was allocated for us. As today there were no Assembly I spend some of my time by chatting with the headmistress and signed the attendance register then when to my seat and started correcting the answers of the activities that i have given on the last days. Then I started preparing my lesson plan for the day in between we had a small chat.

 As i reached my seat i checked the time table and started to prepare my lesson for the day. As per the instruction from the headmistress we all participated in the Midday meal program, which I felt so happy to be a part of it. As usual I took the initiative in serving the Mid-day Meal Programme

                         Today also I got an opportunity to take class in 6th standard at the 4th period, as the teacher asked me to take class due to her health issues. This time I was not that much interested to take class as I had to prepare my lesson plan for the next class even though I said ok and engaged the period. I made the students of the Upper primary class to do some link talk, i gave them some topic and they had to do so. But by this time they were not interested in doing this activity. I felt sad and angry they were talking each other and were not responding to the activity. Moreover somewhat I completed that period.

       `As per my time table I took the 6th period in class 9.As I entered in class i saw some curiosity in their face it was nothing but they eagerly waiting to hear the rest of the story that I had explained yesterday I too got excited by Seeing this. Just to recollect the last day’s story I asked some questions to they all gave me the correct answer for it. Being a teacher I felt Proud. Then I continued my the story "The Last Leaf" and completed paragraph 10-12, they wanted me to complete the story on that day itself but as the time passes I couldn’t complete it by one period so I told them to read the story from the starting till paragraph 12 from there text book, They all started reading the story silently. Then I Thought to call one of students and asked them to read the story loudly. It was just to check whether they make the same mistakes that they made on the previous day .But as what I thought they made the same mistakes by this time also i cleared their pronunciation and helped them in reading the paragraph. As time was running the boy could only read the first two paragraphs. Then I told them to read the paragraph 1-12 at home

                        The class ended by 3:45pm. We student faculty had a small chat with each other and left the school by 4:00pm.

Day 14

Date: 12/01/23 (Thursday)

                          Today we meet some new students of different class. As always I use to have a causal chat with them. We teaching students share our class room experience after each class, Today I came to understand the nature of the students were different. The most of the boys are naturally very active. Teachers used to advise us to be tough with them in order to maintain the class's decorum. It's not simple there to teach such a group of students. I had to act strongly with them. 

As usual I reached the School by 9:45am. As Usual I today also took the 4th period in class 9 Students were tired by the time as it was the second last period of the day I struggled a bit hard to gain their attention, I didn’t go directly through my subject I started the class with some small activities and then I saw some happiness in their face. Without going through the text book I asked them whether they had a mood in hearing a next part of the story. They said yes then I started the story of "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry. Students were so excited in hearing the Story they interacted with me and asked some questions related to the story. I too felt so happy by seeing their response. From my story itself I gave more emphasis on the new words. As there were no time today I didn’t introduced a new vocabulary today. The class ended by 3:45pm. We had a small chat with each other and left the school by 4:00pm.

As Today there were no Assembly I spend some of my time in correcting the answers of the activities that I have given on the last days.

 Today I got another opportunity to take class in 6th standard at the 2nd period, as the teacher was on leave due to some emergency. Last day we had done a small activity related to word. So today i thought of giving an idea about how to learn English easily. I started the class with some informal talk telling them the importance of learning English for their future. The class was so interested and nice.

        `I took the 6th period in class 9.For today’s class our teacher Mrs Harsha S. observed my class. As I entered in class I saw some curiosity in their face it was nothing but they eagerly waiting to hear the rest of the story that I had explained yesterday I too got excited by seeing this. Just to recollect the last day’s story I asked some questions to they all gave me the correct answer for it. Being a teacher I felt Proud. Then I continued the story "The Last Leaf" and completed the story. Then I said them to read the story from there text book now only they realised that the story was from the text book. They all read the story silently. After that I called two students and asked them to read the story loudly, they were shy in reading it loudly as they may raise mistakes I encouraged them and he stared reading while reading I corrected his Pronunciation, not only for him for the whole class. Then I concluded the portion. After that, the teacher gave some feedbacks and corrections for me and took some pictures with us. The class ended by 3:45pm.
