WEEKLY REFLECTION

 WEEKLY REFLECTION 

III SEMESTER

28/6/16 - 1/7/16

As per the B.Ed curriculum our third semester school internship program for forty days started on 28 June 2016. I got S.N.TRUST H.S.S., Kollam for my internship program.  I got class 8B for teaching. The concerned teacher assigned me to take Unit I and II. As a B.Ed trainee the school atmosphere was a new experience for me. This week I took the prose ‘The Boy Who Drew Cats’ and various teaching aids were used for an effective teaching.

4/7/16 – 8/7/16

I continued the chapter ‘The Boy Who Drew Cats’ on this week. Pupils’ response was better compared to the last week. Pupils were curious to know the rest of the chapter. After each class I gave assignments and I was happy to see their effort in completing the task.

11/7/16 – 15/7/16

I started the third week of our teaching practice on 11/7/16. On this week I completed the prose ‘The Boy Who Drew Cats’ and the poem ‘Taj Mahal’. Pupils were very active during the scaffolding questions and we completed some textual activities related to this chapter. Then I started the lyrics ‘We’re the World’ by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. On the whole I had a nice experience during this week.

18/7/16 – 22/7/16

In this week I started with the thirteenth lesson plan and with three classes I completed the poem and the textual activities related to it.  Then I started next unit “Wings and Wheels”. As an introduction to the topic “A Shipwrecked Sailor” Pupils enjoyed the class as they were involved in the learning process. Then I continued with the same chapter for the whole week.

25/7/16 – 29/7/16

The same lesson was continued in this week. Pupil showed curiosity to learn the lesson. While I shared ideas of Shipwreck pupils at once connected it to the film Titanic and the class was very interesting. Then I gave some textual activities as group activity and pupils actively participated. Thus I was satisfied with the teaching process of this week.

1/8/16 – 5/8/16

In this week I completed the prose ‘A Ship wrecked Sailor’.  I conducted a test paper based on the last unit Majority of the students scored high marks beyond my expectation and in this week I continued with twenty-third lesson. Pupils were very much curious in learning this chapter and they suggested their own ideas to help the boy in the chapter and it was very interesting to hear that. In this week I got many substitution periods, engaging with the students of LP and UP Section was different experience for me.

8/8/16 – 12/8/16

On 8/8/16 I completed the chapter ‘A Shipwrecked Sailor’ and taught articles with Concept Attainment Model then I started the new poem ‘From a Railway Carriage’. I used sufficient teaching aids the better understanding of the lesson. When I checked their notebooks I found it incomplete and asked them to complete the notes as early as possible.

16/8/16 – 19/8/16

With the 33^rd lesson plan I completed the chapter ‘Marvelous Travel’ and started the chapter ‘The Little Round Red House’ on Wednesday and made a good entry activity to the chapter. They were very curious to know the rest of the chapter. This increased their interaction with the teacher. And this week we were assigned to serve the meals for the student. It was a new experience for me and I enjoyed that.

22/8/16 – 26/8/16

On 22/8/16 I completed the chapter ‘The Little Round Red House’ and I taught adjectives using Advance Organizer Model. The classes were very interesting and students grasped the idea. I think it was more effective than normal classes. Then I made them enact the story ‘A Shipwrecked Sailor’ using role play model. And this week we completed our teaching practice program.
