SCHOOL INTERNSHIP : Week 4 (13 November 2023 - 17 November 2023)

          DAY 15 : 13 November 2023

    More thoughts and a new bunch of                                     students 

It is our 15th day at G.G.H.S.S. Cotton Hill. The day started off with my period in 8H. The last two stanzas of poem "Song of the Rain" were discussed. Then, it was the time for answer sheet distribution. I had already corrected their answer sheets and it was clear that they have serious difficulty with language. 

I have got on an extra division of 9th since their English teacher is on medical leave. The students listened well and I was really comfortable with them. Even though it was my first class, I was able to adapt well to the new class environment. I was able to see a bunch of happy students. The last hour at 9K also went well. 

         DAY 16 : 14 November 2023

          Tensed, but not so tensed...

Today, I had my first teacher observation. It was during the second hour at 8H. I began a new chapter "Nightingale and the Rose" for them. I was tensed, but not so tensed. I had prepared pretty well, teaching aids were also ready. I messed up a few words here and there; also, I felt that my pace was a bit high. But I was able to control the class well. I was also able to do my model reading exactly how I wanted. 

After the class, I had a review session with my teacher. He pointed out both my positives and the areas that call for improvement. The suggestions given by my teacher were really helpful and I really believe that class atmosphere could me made better by implementing it the right way.

The second hour of the day was for 9K. Surprisingly, my teacher came for class observation. There were no teaching aids with me, but I was fully prepared to teach. She liked my class and the feedback was positive.

               DAY 16 ended thus.

 Kerala School Shastrolsavam 2023 Day 1

Government HSS Cotton Hill School hosted the district level Shasthrolsavam 2023. On behalf of this, all the teacher trainees were alloted duties in different venues. The first day of competitions took place on 15 November 2023. We assembled at the Conference Hall where all the judges were present. We served tea for them and then escorted them to the particular venues.
Myself and Ashley escorted three teachers who judged the High School section working models. It was such a visual treat to watch the amazing creations of young minds. From Chandrayan launch, tides, to disaster management technologies, there were a wide array of innovative models. After the duty, we accompanied the judges to the lunch hall. After the lunch , there were no duties for us. We left the school by 3.45pm. The experience was unique and informative.
