WORD WEAVER

The fifth week of my teaching practice at Government HSS Anchalummood was marked by meaningful classroom activities and fresh beginnings. I was able to finish the remaining activities of Little Things Matter by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and also begin teaching the poem Hope is the Thing with Feathers by Emily Dickinson. On Monday, August 11th, I focused on the pending activities of Little Things Matter. On Tuesday, August 12th, I handled the third set of activities. The students first prepared sentences beginning with question words and auxiliary verbs, followed by framing WH-questions for the underlined portions of given sentences.

The fourth week of my teaching practice at Government HSS Anchalummood turned out to be more organized and engaging, as it consisted of a full five working days. My bond with Class 8F grew stronger during this period, and I started feeling more confident and connected with my learners.

Throughout the week, I moved forward with the lesson steadily, ensuring that the students not only understood the text but also related its values to their everyday experiences. By Thursday, August 7th, I was able to complete the chapter successfully. This day held special significance as Amjada Ma’am observed my teaching. Her presence motivated me to deliver the best...
