When Noun and Verb went out to play cricket! (DAY 10)

 

When Noun and Verb went out to play cricket! (DAY 10)

    The noun and verb went out to play cricket in the last class….on Day 10 of the School Internship on 13.11.2020 (Friday). It was a very effective strategy to teach grammar- Noun Phrase and Verb Phrase. All the students responded well to the idea. After all, when Dhoni is the Noun and Virat is the Verb then naturally learning grammar will be a T20 match.😀😀😀 It was fun both for the students and the teacher. It felt very relaxing. The last class was thus made remarkable and unforgettable. I would like to explore more such ways to transact grammar. The day gave me a fixed feeling. On the one hand, I was feeling relieved that the School Internship phase was over but on the other hand somehow I was feeling sad too. I was really enjoying the "40 minutes" of being the teacher, the hours and hours of brainstorming and discussions, preparation of teaching aids, and PowerPoint Presentations. The experience and development I had received as part of the internship phase are commendable and it can’t really be replaced by anything. I am very grateful to have got such an opportunity.


Noun and Verb are playing cricket!😊😊😊

Highlights

Upon reflection I could list out the following highlights:

  • Dhoni, Virat and Grammar


The cricket team was made!😎

He teacher used references from cricket to introduce the concept of Noun phrase and Verb phrase. It felt really effective. Within seconds the students could understand the concept well. It should be followed more in the classes, I felt.

  • Crossword


Crossword can teach the words better!

A glimpse into my childhood days.  Back to Crossword puzzle in Balarama. Crossword puzzle was used to introduce and reinforce the concept of verbs. All the students participated well.

  • Games

Playing games on an online platform is a challenge and fun!

The class was mainly centered around games and puzzled. Jumbled words were given and the students had to properly arrange them.

  • Story Time


The Ant and the Grasshopper!

To practice, the concept taught I used the grand old method of storytelling. The story of The Grasshopper and the Ant was used for the purpose. The students seemed to respond well to that too.

  • Teaching Aids

How colourful, I may say so myself!👧👧👧

The importance and effectiveness of using teaching aids and charts to transact grammatical concepts can’t be contested. It was reinforced in the class too.

Day 10 of the school internship was a day that I always remember with fondness. Undoubtedly I am going to miss the feeling of being a teacher. The 10 days gave me the treasure-house f exposure to knowledge and information for a lifetime. I will always keep the experience close to my heart and will cherish the class, the students, the lessons that I learned, in fact, anything and everything I associated with Phase I of the school internship. I am going to miss this very much. 💓💓💓👋👋👋

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: ...
