WEEKLY REFLECTION SECOND PHASE (FIRST WEEK)

-

Our second phase of teaching practice began on 5th November 2025 at GHSS Anchalummood. I am truly glad to continue this journey with my friends Aleena and Aiswarya, just as we did in the first phase. Returning to the same school felt both familiar and refreshing, as we were warmly welcomed by the teachers and students.

Since this week was a short one, with only Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as working days, we mainly focused on getting back into the classroom routine and re-establishing rapport with our students. I was assigned to continue teaching English, and I began revising the lessons from the previous phase while introducing new portions. The students responded with great enthusiasm, making the sessions lively and interactive.

The highlight of this week was Friday’s celebration of the school’s victory in the Sub-District Championship. The entire campus was filled with excitement as students and teachers joined together to celebrate the success. A rally was conducted to mark the occasion, spreading a sense of pride and unity across the school.

Overall, this first week was short but meaningful. It helped me smoothly transition into the second phase of practice, rekindle my connection with the students, and set a positive tone for the upcoming weeks. I look forward to the new learning experiences and challenges ahead.

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.
