Weekly Reflection - Sixth Week

-
The past five days of my teaching practice turned out to be both engaging and fulfilling. On Day 21, after the Onam vacation, I introduced Adjectives using the Concept Attainment Model. The learners explored rules and patterns by examining examples and non-examples, which made the session interactive and discovery-oriegrowth.From Day 22 to Day 25, I focused on the inspiring prose lesson “The Day My World Changed” by Malala Yousafzai, presented with the support of ICT. Each day, I carried the lesson forward gradually, using PowerPoint slides, visuals, and activity cards to make Malala’s narrative more vivid. The students showed great enthusiasm, reflecting deeply on the themes of education and courage, which added richness to the classroom discussions. Our principal, Omanaseelan sir made a visit to our school on Tuesday, day 22.

Beyond the lessons, I also gained experiences such as serving the midday meal, taking substitution periods, and managing double sessions. These responsibilities helped me understand classroom management better, as well as the need to balance ICT-based teaching with interaction and ensure proper pacing.

In short, this week strengthened my confidence as a teacher-in-training and made me realize how varied experiences—both academic and non-academic—contribute to professional growth.
