WEEKLY REFLECTION SECND PHASE (FIFTH WEEK)

-

Date: JANUARY 06 – JANUARY 8 2026

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

The third week of my teaching practice during the second phase was short but productive, with only three classes scheduled for the week. Each day provided meaningful teaching experiences that helped me improve my instructional skills and classroom interaction. I focused on learner participation, clarity of concepts, and effective use of teaching aids.

Another important aspect of this week was the conscious effort to connect lesson objectives with students’ real-life experiences. I tried to make my classes more interactive by encouraging students to think, respond, and express their ideas freely. Special attention was given to using suitable teaching aids and activity-based learning so that students could understand the concepts easily and participate actively in the learning process.

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.
