School Internship Phase I

            First Week Report 

           July 3 to July 7

      Our teaching practice programme started on July 3, 2017.In order to conduct our teaching practice programme I have selected  Mount Tabor Girls High School, Pathanapuram. The important aspect of school based teaching practice is that, it provides an opportunity to integrate different types of knowledge and use them in specific school context.It also gives an opportunity for student teachers to socialize and learn how to behave like teachers.Our school has both English and Malayalam, as the medium of instruction. The school has implemented continuous and comprehensive evaluation. Working hours of the school is from 9.30am to 3.45pm.

                       The class assigned to me was VIII B.On the first day I just made some informal interaction with the students.In order to know more about them I gave them a form consisting of several questions.Students were so happy to complete it and it was so exciting for me.As I read the form I understood their area of interest, weakness,hobbies,opinion about how a good teacher should be and so on...Unfortunately, I got only three class this week and the other two days were holidays due to strike organised by different student parties.I started with unit 3,'Wings and Wheels',the story named Shipwrecked Sailor by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.From the three classes I have understood that my students are very much interested in teaching aids.They responded much more effectively in the class which I took with variety of teaching aids.I completed three lesson plans this week.From the first week's experience I understood that class could be made interesting with better teaching aids..........
