Week 7, Week 8 and Week 9: Biweekly Journal of School Internship

Image
    Introduction: This was the final three weeks of our internship and it was a different experience because I started teaching in VII so that I could finish my requisite lesson plans. Dealing with them as a teacher was an interesting experience. Day 26: 30 September 2024 I was sick, but I still went to school. I was lucky that I only had VII to teach today, which was teaching them about transparency. I helped Sarath sir today as well.  Day 27: 01 October 2024 I got to be invigilator for the re-test of Onam exam for some students from X. Second period was VII. Taught 5th period in VIII, and 6th period in IX. I was stung by a wasp on this day and my hand was swollen for almost a week.  Slides used Day 28:  03 October 2024 I was still managing the pain from the wasp sting.

Week 5 and Week 6: Biweekly Journal of School Internship

Image
  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...

Week 3 and Week 4 : Biweekly Journal of School Internship

Image
Introduction: My workload this fortnight was lighter because I had finished most of my portions for the first terminal exam. 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...

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.

My First Class during Internship ICT Based Model Material: SLIDES 1 SLIDES 2 We were tasked with managing disc...
