Weekly Reflection of Teaching Practise - Week 7 (January 01- January 05 2024)

 


After the camp and some classes at college while there was the Christmas break for students, we are back for the part 2 of our first face teaching practice at the school on January 1st 2024.


During the 7th week of teaching practice, first we went back to our teachers to collect the new portions since the previous term is already over. I have been assigned three chapters for this session.


Two of them are very small chapters, and, another one is from history. Since I have already finished 28 lesson plans in my part 1 of teaching practice phase 1,  I have the least worries about finishing 40 lesson plans in this period.

During this 7th week, on first day, the school distributed Jalebi for students on the occasion of new year. We were also given jalebis. Tuesday was a  holiday as there was a local celebration.

On Wednesday I finished the first small chapter which was related to social problems. Hands the students could easier related and it was quiet simple to navigate to the learning outcomes and points. I feel some chapters of social science are easier to deal than the rest and takes less time whereas others take more.

Being back at the school for the next phase is actually exciting since I have fresh topics to deal with, and the students are also very happy about that. I am planning to contact and achievement test on this chapter.

  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...

"വൈവിധ്യത്തിലെ ഏകത്വം" - Song Composition Work

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 --------------------------------------------...
