Seminars & Presentations

 The day as usual began with a prayer. Goday we inaugrated 'The Phonetic Club' which is to improve the vocabulary and pronounciation of students who needs help in English language. A mirror is placed to understand one's mouth movements while pronouncing words.

During Maya ma'am's class we had a discussion on education implications of naturalism. While naturalism suppirts and encourages self expression idealism forces one to always be on his/her best behaviour. An education system must have the right combination of idealism and naturalism.

During our optional hours, Archana did her 'Reading and Reflection' presentation on Vaikom Basheer's 'Pathumede Aadu'. She did a great job in narrating few instances from the book in an interesting way making us eagerly wait for each and every sentence. Later Kavya did a seminar on 'Scope and Characteristics of Maths'. It felt like she has been teaching for years. She was able to turn a dry topic into an easy and interesting one. All the best to others and hope they'll outperform Kavya and Archana.

Day 30 of Online Classes

 Today the day began with Joju sir's class and the physical science association continued with their seminar. We were introduced to the software 'Hot Potatoes', which can be used to make online quizzes. If I had known this earlier I would have used it for 'Mathletics'. The topic was handled by Ancy and Gayathri of Physical science association and they did a great job. Later we had Ancy ma'am's class where we discussed about social change. Ma'am made us switch on our cameras to take a group photo. It felt good too see many faces after a long time.

A New Phase

 This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday.  6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...
