Weekly Reflection of Teaching Practise - Week 5 (December 04- December 08 2023)



Our teaching practice face one is divided into two parts due to the rigorous 3rd semester schedule of b.Ed curriculum as prescribed by the University of Kerala. For the same reason this was our full last Friday week of part 1. During this week we also conducted a consentisation program based on gender equality.

During this week I had very little classes as my portions for this term are already over. I had only two classes to take before I finished the term portions and they were dealth with by Monday itself.

The school general body student election was also conducted on Monday and I could encourage one of my class student to participate in it. As a social science teacher and someone has done with the chapter that goes about the election and democracy, I was fortunate enough to make my students experience the process in detail when the election was conducted at school.

On Tuesday we contacted a concentration program on gender equality for higher secondary section of the school. The program was participated by all the class students of class 12th and we got much appreciation from the parts of school, college authority, students.

On Wednesday day, there was a political strike let by Student organisation due to which the classes was suspended by first period itself. On Thursday as my portions are already over for the term I did a quick recap and revision for the first three chapters. I also got almost 5 hours for the same class. Even though normally it would have been exhausting for me especially due to my health condition the students were cooperative enough and as I was passionate to finish the revisions before I leave this part of teaching phase, it all work or well.

On Friday we conducted a workshop on creative thinking skills which are also part of our school based activity, signed from the college, on my class during my hour.

Even though I am enjoying the process of teaching training it does look like we have had in a softwares as one terms is already over and we have had five days of training.

  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. Since this was the first week I am still getting acquainted with the class, students, teachers, and official settings of a school. It's your essay very good opportunity and being a boy school, I expect a little bit of challenge in managing discipline of the class. My class has 20 boys who come from various backgrounds. It is unfortunate that most of the students doesn't know how to write or read Malayalam properly, even though they are studying in 9th standard. Primary Lee, the class seems like a very enthusiastic and cooperating one. Especially since I am pregnant and have health issues I was worried about the physical stress I might have to put in throughout the class. I g...

"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. Each Theyyam represents a deity or divine being, often embodying the virtues of heroism or virtuous living. Many Theyyams are believed to be manifestations of Hindu deities like Shiva or Shakti, contributing to their religious importance. Accompanied by traditional instruments such as Chenda, Veekan Chenda, Ilathalam, and Kuzhal, Theyyams are performed in sacred groves and other designated spaces, usually on an annual basis in ceremo...

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. It goes like this.... വൈവിധ്യത്തിലെ ഏകത്വം --------------------------------------------...
