Weekly Reflection of Teaching Practise - Week 6 (December 11- December 12 2023)


Week 6, which can actually not be called an entire week since there was only 2 days, give me an opportunity to same a prayer at the school assembly. My portions are already over and the revision was also being done. The term model exams which can also be called the Christmas exams is starting tomorrow and hence we were asked to return to our colleges by tuesday itself. After doing revisions for the first two days, I have tried my best to give all the previous year questions and their answers to the students and have had them note them down in there note books for reference.


On 12th of December 2023 the school was functional only till 12:30 p.m. as the next day were the examination days. But since we are teacher training and considered a part of the faculty team we were asked to stay back till the regular school hours.

After informing the school headmistress that we will be back on the new year we all left for our college.

  The phase 1 of teaching practice started on November 6 2023. Me  and 9 other of my classmates are assigned to BNV Boys HS Section, Thiruvallam, Thiruvananthapuram. I have already collected the portions by previous month. I am expected to teach class 9 C in Malayalam medium for the subject social science.

"പൊലിക പൊലിക" - Digital Album on Performing arts (Theyyam)

Image
As part of the third semester school based works of B.Ed curriculum prescribed by the University of Kerala, the teacher trainings are expected to create a digital album, based on any performing arts. I selected 'Theyyam'. Theyyam is a revered ritualistic dance form practiced in the states of Kerala and Karnataka, steeped in ancient traditions and customs dating back thousands of years. Regarded as a sacred channel to the divine, Theyyam holds immense significance for the local communities, who seek blessings and guidance through its performances.

Image
As per the B.Ed curriculum prescribed by University of Kerala for Semester III, a song composition work has to be done by the teacher trainee, in connection with any of the topic handled in classroom during the training phase. During the first phase of my B.Ed teaching practice, I was posted for training at BNV V&HSS for Boys, Thiruvallam. The allotted class was IXth standard. I handled a chapter named- കേരളം: 8ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടു മുതൽ 18ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടു വരെ - which basically talks about the cultural, geographical, political, social, land related and economic aspects of Kerala during the mid century of 8-18th CE. This is a poem I composed on the same theme, en capsuling the essence of the chapter, and used during the end of the lesson- as a sumup of why the chapter is important. Since my lesson plans were in malayalam and I handled the malayalam medium students, the poem was also written in malayalam.
