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.

Not a Typical Movie Review

We were assigned with the task of watching a movie and understand its educational implications. I had chosen the movie 'Dead Poets Society (1989)' directed by Peter Weir starring the late Robin Williams. I'd seen this movie a while ago but this time, I decided to watch it to understand what makes John Keating different from other teachers. This Academy award winning movie is set in a conservative boy's boarding school named Welton's Academy which is known for churning out disciplined and academically brilliant students. The story focuses on a group of seventeen year old boys and their English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams). John Keating is a nonconformist and lives by the phrase 'Carpe Diem' which means 'seize the day'. He encourages his students to get rid of their fears, find their voices and live their lives to the fullest through poetry. Their newfound interest in poetry led them to create a secret club named Dead Poets Society. One of t...

Sports Meet 2022

Finally, the day is here. We've been scheduling the sports meet for quite some meet. It had to be postponed due to unexpected rains and finally, it was conducted on Sep 12 and 13 soon after the Onam holidays. We had shotput, javelin throw, 50m, 100 m etc. The involvement and participation in the second years were a little low compared to the first years. Events like shot put, javelin throw, 50 m race etc had good participation. The selection of students for the finals of each event was done on the first day. The finals followed by prize distribution were done on the second day. I was supposed to run the100m race but had to pull out due to previous complications in my leg injury. But I got to participate in the march past which was totally unexpected. By the end of the day, we were dead tired from the scorching sun, but it was all worth it.

Day 31 of Online Classes

Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'ഐക്യ ' which means to become one. The name is a good reminder for these times where the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, race, resources etc. The chief guest was Arya Rajendran, the mayor of Trivandrum and is the youngest (22 years) to hold that position. Felicitations were expressed by singers Mrs. Veena Haridas and Mr. Ravishankar. The surprising fact was that there were almost 100 participants throughout the program. The effort taken by each and everyone of the class (as well as from other classes) could be seen.
