  Second phase of school internship started on 5/7/22 and came to an end on 22/8/22.I was able to complete two chapters ( A Shipwrecked Sailor, From a Railway Carriage) in 8 A and three chapters (1 unit) and two grammar topics in 9 E. To check the progress of the students in learning as well as the effectiveness of teaching learning process, I conducted achievement test on 10/8/22 Wednesday and diagnostic test on 11/8/22 Thursday. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of students I was able to provide them remedial class on 16/8/22.On 19/8/22 we had the last session in which I thanked my students for their cooperation and we had a small exhibition based on the works created by students in relation to the  unit 'Bonds of Love'. The communicative English class was another great success. Thus those days in GHSS Chathannoor gave me rich experiences that would definitely contribute to my future career.

Due to the insufficiency of place, normally there were no regular assemblies.

ENRICH AND ENJOY ENGLISH ( Third week )

Image
  During this week I was able to introduce new works and discourses for the students. I introduced the world famous 'Utopia' by Thomas More to the children as an entry activity to the lesson 'Song of a Dream'. I felt difficulty in teaching Malayalam Medium students in English. So I found new ways to engage children and to make ideas clear. I asked small questions frequently so that they could remember the ideas. Then after each session I ask them to fill the blanks by providing sentences from the textbook. All these helped them to understand ideas clearly.This week I started the poem 'Song of a Dream' in 9th class and  'From a Railway Carriage'  in 8th class.
