Weekly Teaching Practice Report              ( 23/09/2024 - 27/09/2024) "Education is the key to unlocking the world." - Oprah Winfrey  As the vibrant festivities of Onam came to an end, returning to school felt both refreshing and overwhelming. After a ten-day vacation, a sense of laziness lingered in the students' behavior. While some took time to settle back into routine, others were eager to share their holiday experiences. As they excitedly recounted their memorable moments, I balanced listening with my teaching responsibilities. One of our primary tasks upon returning was evaluating the students' answer sheets from their assessments. Sitting at our desks, we meticulously reviewed each paper, assessing their progress before the break. It was gratifying to see improvements in some areas, while others revealed the need for further guidance. Once the evaluations were complete, we prepared to return the papers, feeling both anticipation and respo...

As the week began, we wrapped up the model exams, marking the end of a rigorous academic phase.

The Onam examination isn't far away; therefore, a last-minute revision marathon was held to refresh their memories. Since there are only three test halls, exam duty was distributed among the teacher trainees on different days. I have duty on the second day of exam, Tuesday ( 03/09/2024). It was my first shift as an invigilator for the exam.

Students began writing the exam as the second bell rang. I...

 Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire." —W.B. Yeats This was the fourth week, and with examinations approaching, it turned out to be a rather hectic one as everyone was focused on completing the syllabus. Due to public holidays, there weren’t many working days this week, but I managed to get three days of class. During this time, I successfully completed the portions for the 8th standard. I continued teaching the same chapter, and the pupils remained highly active and eager to engage with the story. To make the lessons more effective, I incorporated various activities for teaching grammar, and the students responded enthusiastically to the scaffolding questions. Their active participation gave me a deep sense of satisfaction. As usual, the teacher trainees were assigned duties for organizing the IT Quiz and the Janayugam Sahapadi Quiz.
