“Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, knowledge makes you great” - A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

                            

                          My Second Phase of School Internship was started at  Govt Boys HSS Kottarakara. The class allotted for me was VIII and IX English medium class. We already got the portions from the school. The teaching practice started on 4th July 2022.This is a weekly reflection from 4th July 22 to 8th July 22.

              On the first day we students’ teachers came to the school around 9.25 am and met the school HM and signed the attendance register.  She reminded us about the rules of the school and importance of discipline and classroom management. Her friendly behaviour increased our confidence and we were in a relaxed mind. The we met our concerned teachers. It was fabulous Day. The first week of teaching practice was really an unforgettable one. It was a pleasant experience to catch up with my students and receive their love and affection.                    

                             The day started with a prayer by the students and the teacher asked me to took the first period at VIII C. I went to VIII C and took the lesson The Shipwrecked Sailor by Garbrel Gracia Marquez. First, I introduced myself and created good rapport with the students. With the help of ICT, I presented some pictures and videos about travel in order to create a mental readiness among the students. And asked some questions related to that and the students responded well. Then I introduced the writer by showing his picture and given a detailed information about him. Later I introduced the first two paragraph of the story  and the students listened carefully. Silent reading was also given to the students in the class. The students were very active and interested in doing worksheet.

       On the second I reached the school at 9.20 am and signed the attendance register.  I got the first  class inVIII B  the second day, t In the first hour at VIII B I introduced the lesson The Shipwrecked Sailor. The students are very cooperative.

    In the third day I got an hour at IX B and I introduced the lesson Song of a Dream with help of ICT. In the free time we prepared lesson plans and slides for the class. We also involved in the activities or programmes that held in the school. We also served the mid day meals for the students and it is totally a different experience.

   In the fourth day I am really tensed because our optional teacher informed us that she will visit that day in the afternoon session to observe our class. Suddenly we arranged the class and periods for the observation. But unfortunately, the HM said that there will be a programme for the 8 standard students in the afternoon session. So, our optional teacher missed the chance to observe my class, but she observed the class of Aparna krishna, the other teacher trainee.

    In the fifth day I got an hour at VIII C. they were constanly interupting the class and were making distrbances etc. After some time I started the class, they clamed down and I rearragned the seating arragement of some students and made them answer by sections. The class ended and all students were excited to learn.
