Second Phase Teaching Practice Week-7 St Mary's HSS Pattom

                                              July 24, 2023 Day-26

Our second optional observation happened on Monday. Henna ma'am observed my my class at VIII-U during the third period. I taught the next portion of the lesson 'A Shipwrecked Sailor'. I asked the students to say the tongue-twister 'She sells seashells on the seashore' as part of the enty activity. I lost time by making every student say the tonguetwister. Then I explained the paragraph  by focussing on the meanings and vocabulary. Later I gave the activity on the vocabulary taught from the shapter as crossword puzzle,  but there was not enough time as the students took more time to finish it. This time, I was more confident that the first teaching observation and certainly when I compare both, I certain can see the improvement and believe me that is all that matters.

On Tuesday, I taught the next portion of 'A Shipwrecked Sailor'. During the Hindi period, I repeated the audio part from the play 'The Importanace of Being Earnest'. I repeated the questions and made the students answer to them again. This helped many to clear their doubts as well as get a clear understanding about the context.

On Wednesday, I continued on with teaching the next paragraphs of the lesson 'A Shipwrecked Sailor'. The students were engaged during the class as some wanted to know what would happen to the friends of the sailor whereas others wanted to know how they would die and what would happen to the sailor. During the fifth period, I played the audio of the play again. This time, The students were able to answer the questions easily and much faster than the previous time. This certainly proved that practice could really work wonders in improving English language skills.

On Thursday, I taught the students the next portion of thr lesson and gave notes. The students were lazy and not that interested to learn as it was the sixth period.

Friday was a public holiday as it was Muharram. Hence Saturday was a working day with the tim-table of Friday. I got the fourth period as substitution at Class VIII-U and this taught the next portion of the shipwrecked sailor. Afternoon, the students had PTA meeting and hence we did not have classes.
