The day began with a prayer at the chapel.We had a three hour talk by Dr G.V. Hari, who was also a former student of MTTC. The topic was 'UTL: Understanding Teaching Learning'. Initially, when he said the session was going to be three hours long, I was skeptical about him having everyone's attention till the end. But to everyone's surprise sir brought out a tambourine. Sir, sang a song and instructed us to clap our hands as he played the tambourine. He caught each and everyone's attention with the help of a simple tambourine.
The talk had three phases:' Where do we stand?', 'Understanding Concepts before becoming a Teacher' and 'Personality of a Teacher'. During the class sir asked two of our classmates to say five sentence on cow from the perspectives of a grade 1 and a B.Ed student. This was done to check the progress in our knowledge. If we don't have any difference in these two perspectives then our level of knowledge hasn't progressed since grade 1. This was a wake up call for most of us to expand our knowledge. None of us used our books and pens to take down lecture notes but I am pretty sure every person who attended the class will be able to answer any question on the class.
After lunch we had our talent hunt programs by Natural Science and English optionals. Each optional put up a power packed show. Looking forward to seeing the perfomances by the other two optionals on Monday.
