PUPPET MAKING

-


The students of Fathima Memorial Training College (FMTC), Mylapore, successfully created an impressive lady puppet under the expert guidance of their arts teacher, Sir Aneesh. Designed in the form of a girl, the puppet was carefully crafted using simple materials such as cardboard, chart paper, scissors, blue paint, and thread. A notable feature of the puppet was its well-shaped three-dimensional face, which added realism and visual appeal.

The construction of the puppet reflected a thoughtful balance between creativity and functionality. Threads were skillfully attached on both sides, allowing easy control and smooth movement of the puppet. This arrangement enabled graceful motion, making the puppet suitable for expressive performances.

During the presentation, the students displayed excellent teamwork and coordination while operating the puppet. Their ability to bring the puppet to life through natural and expressive movements highlighted their artistic skills, dedication, and collaborative spirit. The activity stood as a fine example of creative learning, made successful through the continuous support and guidance of Sir Aneesh.

Date: July 14 – July 17, 2025 “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” The first week of my teaching practice was a journey of discovery, challenges, and small victories. As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, I, along with my friends Aleena and Aiswarya from the English Department of Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, began our internship at Government HSS Anchalummood on July 14, 2025.

This week, we actively participated in various duties including substitution classes, classroom management, lunch serving, and even took on the role of judges for an extempore competition. One of the highlights of my teaching this week was taking Class 8F for the poem “The Seven Ages of Man” by William Shakespeare. While handling the class came with its fair share of challenges, especially in managing discipline, it was a great learning curve. A memorable moment was when we worked together to...

WEEKLY REFLECTION SIXTH WEEK (FIRST PHASE)

The past week of my teaching practice (Days 21–25) was both engaging and rewarding. On Day 21, after the Onam vacation, I taught Articles through the Concept Attainment Model, where students actively discovered rules through examples and non-examples. The following days (22–25) were dedicated to the inspiring chapter The Day My World Changed by Malala Yousafzai, taught using ICT. Each day, I carried the chapter forward step by step, making use of PowerPoint slides, visuals, and activity cards to bring Malala’s story to life. Students were highly motivated, sharing their thoughts on education and courage, which made the lessons more meaningful. I also had varied experiences beyond the classroom, like serving the midday meal, handling substitution hours, and managing double-period sessions. These days taught me the importance of pacing, balancing ICT with interaction, and sustaining student interest. Overall, this phase deepened my confidence as a teacher-in-training.
