TEACHING PRACTISE (29-11-2016 to 2-12-2016)

Thought to conduct the assessment test this week , as all the portions were finished that was assigned. Since the students pleaded to postpone the test as they din't learn, thought to give them a second chance and said that it would be conducted on coming Monday. Then training teachers came from Mar Theophilus Teacher Training College, for their second phase of teaching practise.

TEACHING PRACTISE (21-11-21016 to 25-11-2016)

Finished off one chapter, and started the next 'A Day in the Country' by Anton P. Chekov. My first observation was done, and it din't go well as expected. On 25th I had my second observation and I had performed well. Since I have got Malayalam medium class the students are not able to respond in English. Even though they know the answer its difficult for them to answer in English. At least I was satisfied on the fact that the students understand what I teach them.
