Community Living Camp

 Community Living Camp

Community Living Camp is the highlight of the B.Ed programme where the entire college is converted as a campsite where students imbibe the cherished values of citizenship, which is a necessary feature a prospective teacher should have.

                                              Our community living camp or "Greenture" was a five day long camp that took place from February 22nd to 26th 2021. "Shades for Tomorrow" was the main theme creating awareness and showcasing the importance of planting trees for future generations. The camp involved various sessions on yoga, a human value workshop on folk songs, and manufacturing paper bags.

                                           In short, we can blindly say that the community living camp conducted by BNVCTE was a successful one. It gave us the experience to take with them for life. It was a well-organized camp with fun and learning where everyone co-operated and participated to make it a successful one.

Online teaching Practice-week 3 : Diagnostic Test and Remedial Teaching

🔍 Self Reflection ✌

    Last week of my online teaching session was more memorable than the other days. My students became more attached to me after each classes. They began to ask me doubts without any hesitation . I was also having an invisible connection with them. After the achievement test I diagnosed some common problems among the students regarding the concept of conjunction so I prepared a diagnostic test to confirm their weaker areas after that I conducted a remedial teaching session for them . Some of the photos included in the ppt is given below. 
    When I look back towards the first day of online teaching practice to today's I could feel immense transformation in me. I learned how to adapt to different situation. I experience a mixture of attitude among my girls and through that learned the competency to adjust and cope up with situations. In short I consider this opportunity as a blessing to mold myself to a better and inspiring teaching.

📚✎ Self Reflection  🏆

    I had gone through a peaceful session throughout this week. My students  attitude towards online teaching had a slight change. They attended the class and gave timely response to whenever I started to ask them any questions related to the lesson. I was happy because of this reason. Since I finished two lessons within the two weeks i.e 'The Jungle Air Crash' and 'On Killing a Tree' it was time to conduct an achievement test. I prepared a 25 marks test and conducted it . Students attended the test and  I noted their performance.

Today was my last peer teaching session. My final class was about pronoun for that I used the direct instructional model. Firstly I created an informal interaction with the students and checked their previous knowledge. I gave them a set of sentences and asked them to identify the nouns. They effortlessly identified the nouns. Later I introduced pronoun and described it using different examples. I introduced different activities to motivate learning them. Overall my peer teaching session went well. Because of the active participation of the students, all the concepts were taken without any effort. It was actually a brilliant and eye-wetting experience for me.

My second last peer teaching session was also based on a model that was concept attainment. I taught verb using this model for presenting it chart and powerpoint presentations were used. Firstly I created an informal interaction with the students. Then I divided the class into 2 groups and they were provided with a set of words and asked them to paste it in the space provided in the table. They later examined it and find out common features in both tables. For making the concept more clear I played a verb song and guided them to sing it. Students sang the song interestingly. For giving them more experience and by providing 2 columns I asked them to point out the difference and that's how I gave the concept of verb. I also tested whether the concept was clear through an activity. Students later wrote examples of verbs on their own by providing positive and negative examples. It contained strong elements of instructional and nurtural value. The overall model lesson gave a positive impact on my teaching experience.

After finishing the regular lesson plan I started my model lessons today. I took  the topic verbs and i used advance organizer model for teaching it. I started the class by establishing an informal interaction with the students. Since student hated grammar, I included activities to create more interest in them. When I checked their previous knowledge of students about nouns and pronouns and they gave positive responses. they easily identified noun and pronoun. after creating some classroom situations teacher introduced adjectives. I called out students and asked them to identify the features of lemon. They identified it and thats how I described what an adjective is. Even though it was a highly structured model a good collaboration between me and my students made the class more effective and learner friendly

Previous classes and its experienced taught me about the deep involvement of students to do activities so for my sixth peer teaching session. I took the 9th and 10th paragraph from the lesson the school for sympathy. I provided 4 strips in which I wrote blind deaf dumb and lame and asked student to come forward and act according to the chosen strip. This activity easily help not only me but also my peer group to link easily with the todays portion. They actively listened throughout the class and all the answers were given correctly when scaffolding questions were asked.  

My principal came for my observation today .She suggested me to be more energetic I will correct all my flaws and bring more power in to my class from next session onwards.

The real  life experience of Rosa Park was my topic for 11th peer teaching. Her attitude towards the unfair rule in America was the key point of discussion .I got the time from 10:30 - 11 AM to take my class and for that I took ' Rosa Park Sat Still ' as the lesson.

After creating a good rapport teacher shows some pictures and was asked to identify the pictures. Those pictures were taken from the so far covered portion .By establishing a clear cut link I gave a detailed explanation which include discussion of meaning also. I demonstrated the word stirred and students easily identified it and some other words were also discussed similarly. They even asked me certain words which I explained in detail when they were asked to prepare a speech on racism one of the student brilliantly presented her version. I was so happy to hear that this actually helped me to maintain positive attitude to teach within the class.
