                                 As the second term examination commenced on 09-12-2019 and will continue till 18-12-2019, we were not assigned to any duties and there were no class. So we, the trainees engaged in preparing the rough draft of the project. My project is a case study on the topic 'Govt. H.S.S. Anchalummood as  a Hi-Tech School'. I engaged in collecting data for the project. I also prepared statements and questions for the attitude test and interview.

WEEKLY REFLECTION 3 (DEC.2- DEC.7)


                      During this week, I continued the lesson 'The Merchant of Venice' and took about the next 12 paragraphs. I took an activity lesson plan too on the topic 'Synonyms'. On Dec 3 the school had a special assembly conducted by the Little Kites group of the school.

                      For the effective teaching I used power point slides, charts, flashcards etc. as teaching aids. During this week I observed  the classes of some of the trainees. I conducted a diagnostic test for the class VIII H to test their knowledge.  

                      I strongly believe that the students could cope up with my class. The students were actively engaging in the class activities.

WEEKLY REFLECTION 2 (NOV. 25 - NOV. 30)

                          The second week of school internship was from 25th November to 30th November of 2019. A morning assembly was conducted on 25th Nov. Monday. The winners of the district youth festival were honoured during the assembly. There were 5 classes during this week and I taught the next 8 paragraphs of the lesson 'The Merchant of Venice'. I took an activity lesson plan on the topic Simple Present Tense also. The classes were taken by using ample teaching aids like charts, flash cards and activity cards. The use of I.C.T. made the class more attractive and effective.

                         I could take classes with good confidence level. I believe that the students were able to follow my classes well. The use of I.C.T. oriented lesson plans contributed to the class to a great extent.

WEEKLY REFLECTION 1 (18 NOV. -22 NOV.)


                                      As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, we the second year trainees from Fathima Memorial Training College, Pallimukku were sent to different schools to be engaged in the second phase internship programme. Fourteen trainees from different optional subjects were allotted to practice in Govt. H.S.S. Anchalummood. From English optional we were four in number.

                           The second  phase of school internship programme commenced on 18 November 2019. On the first day, we met the Headmistress and handed over the register and details. we met our concerned teachers and they gave necessary instructions regarding the classes and  a separate room was allotted to us. 

                           I was assigned to take classes in standard VIII - H. After having good interactions and friendly talks I started the lesson The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare in the Unit V - Share and Care. Everyday I took one or two paragraphs of the lesson. On the third day (20 Nov), there were no regular classes due to strike. I completed the first 4 paragraphs of the lesson on the first week. I made the class more interesting by displaying charts and flash cards with attractive images related to the lesson and giving activity cards to the students. The use of I.C.T. with power point presentations and video clips turned the class into a more effective one. 

                            I believe I had made the students to understand the passages well. The use of teaching aids helped me a lot to convey the meaning to the students.
