SRUTHY'S EDUTALES

  The first lesson of the unit was completed this week and along with that  I also conducted the post- test for my experimental and non-treatment control groups.  The School went through an auspicious ceremony this week, and a blessing and prayer session was arranged by the management. I missed my classes because of the same but I took some extra hours to complete my portions. And by the end of this week I finished my lessons templates but I began another prose lesson from the unit as I have around a week here in the school.  Things went well this week too and along with the school works,  I was able to complete my academic works during the free time I got.

 This week marked the commencement of the first mid- term examination at school and my mornings were spent in arranging questions for class V to X. I also took part in invigilation duties during the afternoon examination session.   Along with that,  I also continued teaching my students and this week,  we entered our second unit 'Wings and Wheels ', a unit devoted to travel and explorations. We began the chapter' A Shipwrecked Sailor ' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez which was an interesting experience to all the learners.  With the completion of the first unit, I also finished teaching vocabulary with the Frayer Model and I have to conduct a post-test for both the experimental and non-control group very soon.

  I conducted my diagnostic test for VIII E  at the very beginning of this week. Students interestingly attended the exam and the test results were good too. They made mistakes with the portion of question tags and I gave them a remedial teaching on the same topic.  I have also completed the fourth lesson 'We Are The World' which is the last and final lesson of the unit. I was able to make my students sing and dance to the song lines which was a beautiful experience for me. Thus the unit came to an end and I also completed the rest of the textual exercises during the extra hours I received.  We have completed our 5th week of school internship and like the previous weeks, this week too was a productive one. I was able to complete my target portion and by this week,  my students are all set for their coming mid term examination. 

 This week, I started the third chapter of the unit, a Japnese folktale, 'The Mysterious Picture' collected by Hasegawa Takejiro. I also prepared my innovative work regarding this lesson. I made a short magazine 'ONCE UPON A TIME to give the learners an idea on folktales too. found an interesting fact that my students are very much interested in learning stories than poems. They were really enthusistic to learn the story and responded really well. Along with teaching them the textual content, i also carried out my Frayer model of  vocabulary teaching, the experimental process i took for my project. Things are working at the right pace and i have also designed a question paper to conduct the diagnostic test. I am planning to finish my first unit by next week, so that my students will be all set to attend their school mid-term examinations beginning. 

  I began this week with completing the pending activities of  the first chapter which i have already completed in the previous week. I also taught my students grammar portions on question tags and noun phrases and even prepared an innovative teaching aid which I titled the 'infinite noun phrase wheel' to demonstrate the formation of noun phrases.The next day morning, we received a message from our optional teacher regarding his visit for the observation. So we made the necessary arrangements and the class observation happened during the third and fourth hours of the day. He gave as all the necessary feedbacks and things to be taken care of. Our lesson templates and reflective journal was also checked and signed. I also conducted a unit test for my students the same week and distributed papers to them. Regarding the portion, i took this week to complete the poem Taj Mahal, but unfotunately , i missed an hour this week as the final hour was cut by the school on Saturday. Things...
