What’s up??? The sky? (DAY 9)

What’s up??? The sky? (DAY 9)

A dangling principle is something “up with which I will not put” – Winston Churchill


Hand-drawn pictures to revise verbs and prepositions!

    The Day 9 of School Internship on 12.11.2020 (Thursday) could be relatable to the above statement by Winston Churchill. This was the day that I really felt satisfied and content with my class. All the students equally participated in the activities and I could get a feeling that the content was transacted well to the students. It’s very true when it is said:

“Tell me and I forget

Teach me and I remember.

 Involve me and I learn”

          -Benjamin Franklin

The class on Phrasal Verbs was centered around live demonstration and teaching using hand-drawn pictures. The strategy felt very effective and interesting to the students. It could have been used more in the classes. That’s what I could infer from my class.

Highlights

  • Demonstration

The charts used in the class!

I used live demonstration to teach the concept of Prepositions using a cup and a ball. All the students participated in the demonstration and they seemed to enjoy it

  • Pictures


Hand-drawn pictures to teach phrasal verbs work the best!

Pictures-ones easily relatable to the students is the best for teaching vocabulary and grammar. To teach the concept of verbs and prepositions they were used.

  • Online Practice
 


Tests can be made fun and easy via Kahoot!

Using the application Kahoot I tried to make the students practice the concepts learned. All the answers were correct and it made me happy. It was a good initiative. They enjoyed the MCQs and the game format of the application well.

  • Teaching Aids
  

The mood was set using pictures!

For each and every concept that has been taught in the class I had a chat with me. Before the class, I was apprehensive about whether I am overdoing things or not. But at the end of the class, the strategy felt effective as the students responded well.

  • 100% Involvement


Ways to ensure more participation!😁

This was the only class where all the students involved equally. It made me really happy. To ensure equal involvement in an online platform is a herculean task and when it comes to teaching grammar it becomes extra difficult. I was able to do that and it was a deeply motivating feeling.

When I was writing the reflections it just came to my mind that my school internship is about to end. The time feels like flying. Only one day left and I want to make it memorable and everlasting to the students.💗💗💗

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)

  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: ...
