On this week I got only two classes because of educational strike and the past part of fourth semester teaching practice got over on 7^th December 2016 and went back on to our college for University exams. This week our concerned teacher, Ambili Mam visited our school for observing our classes and this time she gave tips to give the class more effective. So I started practicing as per her instruction.

On this week I started the chapter ‘The Merchant of Venice’ with an impressive entry activity. The pupil were curious to learn this chapter and on week itself I took the advance organizer model on the topic ‘Tenses’ and found the class very effective. On Thursday we the trainees conducted our conscientization programme on the topic ‘IMPORTANCE OF PEACE EDUCATION’ and we got good feedbacks from the students. And this week itself I conducted achievement test during a free period.
