WEEKLY REFLECTION

WEEKLY REFLECTION

(Third Semester)

28/6/16-01/07/16

         As per the B. Ed curriculum, our third semester teaching practice for forty days started on 28^th June 2016. I got S.N Trust.H.S.S for my internship programme. Around 16 trainees were there with me. I got class VIII B for teaching. The concerned teacher assigned me to take unit I and II. It was a new and great experience for me. I started the chapter ‘A Shipwrecked Sailor’ this week.

04/07/16-08/07/16

         I continued the same lesson and completed it by assigning the students many activities from the text. This week I started a new poem ‘From A Railway Carriage’ also. I tried to teach them poetic devices. They were eager to learn the poem and engaged well in the given activities.

11/07/16-15/07/16

         I completed the poem and started a new poem ‘Marvellous Travel’. Pupils were active throughout the session and we completed some textual exercises. In this week our General teacher Shameema Miss visited our school this week for observation.

18/07/16-22/07/16

         I continued the poem this week too. Pupils were enthusiastic and responded well in the class. They were active in doing the group activities and other works. In this week, our optional teacher Ambili Miss came for observation.

25/07/16-29/07/16

         I completed the poem and started anew lesson ‘The Little Round Red House’. It was an interesting story and students were energetic in the class. The students answered the entry activity and scaffolding questions and also completed the follow-up activities.

01/08/16-05/08/16

         In this week, a test was conducted to evaluate the pupils’ progress. Some students performed well while some others found it difficult and couldn’t do well. So I had to give them more practice exercises. I then continued the lesson. Pupils actively engaged in the class.

08/08/16-12/08/16

         The lesson was continued and the link talk, entry activity, all went well. The students participated in the discussion and activities. I assigned them homework for more improvement of their language acquisition. Some came up with some doubts and I cleared them.

16/08/16-19/08/16

         I completed the lesson and pupils were satisfied with the story’s ending. Group activities given were done well and pupils presented their products before the class. I called some pupils and asked them to summarize the lesson and they did. Even though there were a few grammatical errors, overall their attempt is appreciable.

23/08/16-26/08/16

         I used teaching models to teach the pupils. The lesson ‘Rosa Parks Sat Still’ was taken for role play model. Pupils got an idea about the theme of the lesson and elements of role play. Adjectives were taught using Advance Organizer model and affixes were taught using Concept Attainment model. We completed our first teaching practice session and we expressed our sincere gratitude to our headmistress for their warm welcome, support and guidance.
