  Introduction: These two weeks were separated by the Onam Vacation in between them. So, these two weeks were really different in their whole atmosphere and the works expected of us as student teachers. Also, our juniors joined us for school induction in the sixth week, making it a much more unique experience. Our juniors were eager to learn but easygoing, I hope they will make great teachers. Day 17: 9 September 2024 On this day, I had the task of managing an exam hall for almost three quarters of the time by myself in the morning. I also had a migraine so it was not an easy talk and I had a hard time. I also confiscated an unpermitted digital device from a student. The evening was spent managing the students waiting for the bus. Day 18: 10 September 2024 Students I taught were facing the exams for the portion I taught them, namely physics in classes VIII and IX. I helped with revision a bit, but for most of them it was like pulling teeth and I had to sort of force them into doing it.

The first terminal exam began and have progressed halfway by the period of this biweekly entry. It is a different work altogether to manage exam halls and it is an irreplaceable learning experience in the middle of our internship to get to handle that. Day 9: 27 August 2024 I finished my portion for the first terminal exam so my assigned period was reclaimed by the senior teacher. I covered the first period in VIIIth, second period in Xth, third period in VIIth, and fourth IXth. And did USS training during the lunch break. In the last period, I had to manage one student who hit another pupil with a broom while the rest of his class went to PE. I managed to clarify portions for the exam in both IXth and Xth. Day 10: 29 August 2024 The day had very light workload. I went to manage period 2 in VIth and aided Sarath sir in the third period in class VII. I also manage

 Introduction: We (Amalu, Arshad, and I) began our internship at Government Madhavi Thankachi High School from 12 August 2024. Govt. M.T.H.S. is a smaller school with only one division per grade and up to 20 students per class. The student population is diverse and somewhat unruly. The school environment is actually cozy and reassuring to us as we first went in. Our Head Master and our senior teachers were welcoming to us and helpful from the very beginning, providing proper instruction and oversight. Day 1: 12 August 2024 I went prepared to teach both VIIIth and XIth as per my lesson plan. I only had class on VIIIth per the time table. I covered the introduction to force through push and pull. I used an ICT enabled lesson plan to covey the concepts. (The materials used are given below) The students were engaged and asked fot clarifications and tons of follow up questions.

It began at night of 21 June and concluded on the early morning of 25 June of 2024.  It was a learning experience in how to enjoy the trip while managing the parts of the trip ourselves.
