It's 'Mr. Bean' and 'Rhetorics'! (DAY 4)

 It's Mr. Bean and Rhetorics! (DAY 4)

    The Day IV of the School Internship on 05.11.2020 (Thursday) was very interesting, both for the students and the teacher herself. I tried some out of the box ideas to make the class lively and interactive. Usually, when it comes to taking a class I tend to follow a formal approach, but this day I tried my hand at something new. The end result made me happy as the students seemed to respond well. It was another experimentation that went right for me.




Highlights

Upon reflection I could list out the following highlights:

  • Innovative Word Study

      •  

      Mr. Bean and Virat Kohli are best to teach vocabulary!😜

      I tried some innovative situations to teach the vocabulary. Film references, videos, and references from cricket were used successfully. When we speak in their language it’s easy for the students to understand and they seem to respond well too.

      • Game
         
      Word games are the best to teach vocabulary in an ESL classroom

       
      The impact and the response I got from the game was surprising. The students were eagerly making more and more words from the word climate. Their eagerness to be a part of the game fascinated me. It felt like a good decision to include that activity.

      • Recap of Homework

      I made it a point to review the homework because it will be a proper form of follow up and will act as an incentive for other students to follow. It was well-received.

      • Online Activity

      Online Activity based on hand-drawn pictures could easily transact the content

      The online activity I adapted to suit the interests and aptitude of the students were well received. All the students actively participated in the activity. The hand-drawn pictures used for the activity were well connected to the theme of the content and the cognitive link could be established easily.

      Day 4 could be described as fruitful and satisfactory. It gave me new confidence to push myself from my comfort zone. 💪

        It needs great courage to reflect upon yourself objectively.
        True Self reflection can make you your own teacher.
        You are on that road.
        I am sure that you can proceed further.

      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.

        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!
