Report of Conscientization Programme : Importance of Ethical Values

Weekly Reflection - 7 Jan.- 14 Jan.

                                 I started off this week with the last stanza of 'Newton's Law'. I summed up the previous stanzas and  dealt with the last. After completing the poem, I made the students recite the poem in order to help them improve their pronunciation and reading ability. A language activity was dealt on the next day. The students were taught the use of correlative conjunctions. A chart was used to display the sentences containing correlative conjunctions. Then 'Affixes' were taught to them based on the Concept Attainment Model. Power point presentation was prepared for the class. A total of three sets of examples were given to enrich the understandability of the students. The attainment of the model was tested in its Phase-II. Through another set of examples students were asked to locate suffix and prefix from it. In the third and final phase, the students were asked to explain how they arrived at  the concept. I was able to handle the class using this model in a satisfactory manner. On the thirtieth day, I dealt with another grammar topic. The topic was 'the use of subordinating conjunctions'. Charts and power point presentations aided a lot in teaching this grammar portion.
                               The second phase of the school internship programme was thus successfully completed by me. The experience and lessons that I learned from this internship will definitely strengthen me in the process of becoming an effective teacher.

Weekly Reflection - 31 Dec. - 5 Jan.

                             The school re-opened on 31 st December after the Christmas holidays. I dealt with the Advance organizer Model that day. The topic dealt was 'Auxiliary Verbs and Modal Auxiliary Verbs'. All the three phases of the model was completed within the correct time. I was able to take class using this model in a successful way. On 01-01-2019, I started the new unit: Unit V- Enlightening Minds. The theme of the unit is Science and Environment. I displayed the enlarged titular picture and made the students do the group activity. There was also a special assembly on 1 January. The Headmistress addressed everyone and wished everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Newton's Law, a poem based on the theme of science was taught from the next day. Charts, pictures, flash cards and activity cards were used sufficiently.
