The 'Time Machine'! (DAY 6)

 

The Time Machine! (DAY 6)

    The most treasured heirlooms are the memories of childhood. The Day 6 of the School Internship on 09.11.2020 (Monday) offered me a chance to go back to one of the fond memories I associate with my childhood- Doing crossword puzzles in Balarama! The online platform offers you a chance at experimentation. To try and to explore new things. The solace the home environment offers might prompt us to do things better. To push us to our limits. To step out from our comfort zones. You tend to think if not now then when? The Covid has taught us the temporary nature of life. Let’s try to make the best of the situation.


Crossword Puzzle in class

Highlights!

Upon reflection, I could list out the following highlights:

  • Prayer

Prayer to protect nature!🙏🙏🙏

Prayer often offers you a sense of calmness and positivity to many. Nature is the best gift that is enjoyed by human beings. When we acknowledge the value of nature through prayer it offers a new meaning to the whole class.

  • Model of Earth

Still model of the earth!

I made a still model of the earth using paper and paint, then planted a plant inside it to transact the importance of planting trees.

  • Crossword

The crossword on Natural Disasters

The crossword seemed to be a good idea to teach the students the different types of disasters. Using hand-drawn pictures I could transact the idea clearly. By making it into a puzzle I could ensure the participation of all the students. It was a huge plus.

  • Notice

The model poster was shown to the students

We are living in an online world where we can’t breathe without technology. The notice was made online and the students were also prompted to do the same. They seemed to like the online poster making activity.

  • Reading

Emphasis on Loud Reading. It worked wonders!

Giving daily emphasis on reading I could really improve the reading skill of the students. As the class progressed the teacher could see visible improvement in the students.

  • Homework

Homework page of Afnan

The continuous recap and follow up of the homework worked wonders. Without prompting the students began to complete their notes and send the picture to me.

Day 6 marked constant progress from the part of students and the teachers. I hope it remains the same. 💓🙏

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! The class of IX B in a single frame Highlights Upon reflection, I could list out the following highlights of my class: ...
