Hope for the best, prepare for the worst and ready to be surprised! (DAY 3)

    The Day 3 of School Internship on 04.11.2020 (Wednesday) gave me a mixed feeling. Since the topic to be taught on that day contained several concepts and phenomena related to climate change it felt very exhausting. I think I could have taught the concepts in a better way for the students to understand. Even though I have prepared extensively for the concepts to be taught, the implementation was not that smooth. I couldn’t get a feeling of satisfaction after the class. But it was truly a learning experience for me. From the next class onwards I could improve my class and that’s all matters. After all, perfection is just a myth. There is a scope for improvement for each day.

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Be ready to be surprised. Capitalize on what comes!

Highlights

Upon reflection, I could list out the following highlights of my class:

  • Innovative Word Study

   Johnny Johnny... and vocabulary!😛

For teaching words pictures, videos, and nursery rhymes were used. It felt effective. They seemed intrigued by the nursery rhyme which the teacher sang.

  • Teaching Concepts

The students were to be taught the natural phenomena related to climate change – Ocean warming, Ocean acidification, Methane plumes, and Melting of glaciers in the class. For that, I have used pictures. They seemed somewhat effective.

Trying very hard to make them understand the concepts!

  •  Improvised Teaching Aids


Working Model for Word Study

The teacher used improvised teaching aids for teaching students vocabulary. It was a kind of working model for the students. The strategy seemed successful

  • Online Activity

I have adapted the activity part to involve all the students and to elicit maximum response from the students. Hand-drawn pictures seemed to work well for that.

  • Video


The Earth Story: Award Winning Animated Short Film

The animated video called 'The Earth Story' was shown to the students. it was very easy to draw responses from them related to the concept. 

Day 3 of the school internship was indeed a learning experience for me. From the lessons learned from the day, I will strive for improvements. 💪💪💪

The Art of 'Sethubandhanam'???

  The Art of Sethubandhanam ???      One of the greatest challenges in online education is learning how to bridge the gap of digital divide. The ever-existent gap is there. Acknowledging it is the first step towards trying to find out remedies for that. The concept of inclusive education will only be a reality when all the students are provided equal opportunity for education. While we had to undertake phase I of the school internship we had to face countless problems to make our class inclusive. Out of the 10 students allotted to us, only 6 students had smartphones and an internet connection. 2 students only had the basic phone set with the. So it’s not possible for them to be a part of the class. We were not able to track the other two students. This was the dilemma that we faced when we started the online class two weeks back. “Smooth seas will not make skillful sailors” It is the challenges that we overcome that makes us strong and builds our character.
