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.
    

Online Teaching Practise -week 2 and Achievement test

📚✎ 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

Online teaching practise-week 1 and innovative work

😇Self Refection😇

    The second phase of online teaching practice started on  February 1.   My teacher divided us into 2 groups . In my group there were 6 members. We were assigned to take classes for the students of 9th  standard from Venganoor Girls High School. The class teacher of V.G.H.S asked us to take classes from part two of the English text. Accordingly we took The Jungle air crash and divided it into 9 lessons.
     I got 5 students from V.G.H.S for my practice session., but only 2-3 joined in all the classes . It may be because of the network issues. In the beginning I felt really sad since I didn't got enough responses from their side. later I got used to it.  But on thursday my students were more interested to attend the class since I showed my innovative work to them they eagerly read the comic prepared by me  and  on Friday they continued to show some improvement when compared to the previous class.  They started responding and became more involved when compared to the last class. Some of them started sending homework's.  I took 5.30-6.00 as time for teaching  and I concluded the class on time. So I hope this situation would improve in my next class
