WEEKLY REFLECTION SEVENTH WEEK (FIRST PHASE)

DAY 26- DAY 28: 15 September- 17 September 2025 

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” – Mark Van Doren

This week of teaching practice was centered on continuing the chapter The Day My World Changed by Malala Yousafzai. Each class gave me an opportunity to use ICT tools and activity-based methods to make the lesson more interactive and meaningful. I reached the school by 9.20 a.m. each day, prepared with charts, flashcards, and activity cards. Alongside the regular teaching, I had to balance academic work with extracurricular engagements, especially as sports events were also happening this week.

The focus of my lessons was not only on covering the text but also on encouraging students to respond creatively through activities like letter writing and paragraph writing. By linking Malala’s story with the personal experiences and aspirations of students, I could see how literature can inspire and shape young minds. These three days strengthened my confidence in integrating reflective writing with ICT-based lessons to create lasting learning experiences.

Weekly Reflection – First Week (FIRST PHASE)

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. The atmosphere of the school was very welcoming, and the staff were supportive. 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.
