Teaching Practice - Week 5

 Out of all the weeks, this was the most eventful one. This week again I had a class on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, we (Revathy and I) had our conscientization class on "Planets & Plastics" for classes for 9D and 9O. The program went well and it focused on the 3Rs of plastic. Even though it was a Sunday, the turnout was good. Students responded quite well.

Today, there was a slight hiccup at the beginning of the class due to students joining in late. But it was resolved quickly. We continued with the polynomial chapter and did a few problems on how to find the polynomials based on the given set of conditions. Then I used the time to give instructions on how to attend the achievement test conducted the next day.

Today I conducted the achievement test using google forms. Some of them had trouble uploading the answer sheets, those students were asked to send the answer sheets via WhatsApp. After the test, we had class for 1 hour and almost finished the chapter with one problem remaining. We had a few technical and network issues but it was resolved quickly without delaying the class.

Just one more week to go.

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...
