Week 4(17/11/2025 -21/11/2025)

 The fourth week of my internship focused on the use of varied teaching models and active student participation, along with involvement in several co-curricular activities that supported students’ holistic development.

On 17th November 2025, no classes were allotted, and the day was utilized for observation and preparation.

On 18th November 2025, I handled a class for VIII D on the topic “Alkalis” from the unit Acids, Bases, and Salts. The lesson began with a rapid-fire session, which helped in activating students’ prior knowledge and creating interest.

For Activity 1, magnesium ribbon was given to students to perform the activity, encouraging hands-on learning.

For Activity 2, different solutions were provided, and students were asked to identify the common ion present. Through this activity, students arrived at the concept of bases independently. A follow-up and enrichment activity was given to reinforce learning.

On 19th November 2025, I took a class for VIII B on “Neutralization Reactions” from the same unit. The lesson was planned using the 5E instructional model, which helped students explore, explain, and elaborate the concept systematically. The students responded positively and enjoyed learning through this structured and interactive model.

On 21st November 2025, I conducted a class for VIII B on the topic “Salts” from the unit Acids, Bases, and Salts. The lesson was based on the Concept Attainment Model, where positive and negative examples were presented. Students identified and labeled the correct examples from the unlabeled set, which enhanced their analytical and reasoning skills.

In addition, on 28th November 2025, I handled a Physics class for IX F on the topic “Lactometer” from the unit Buoyancy Forces. The lesson was organized using the Advanced Organizer Model. In the first phase, a video presentation was shown. In the second phase, models of a lactometer and hydrometer were displayed and differentiated. In the final phase, a lactometer was demonstrated in detail, and its working principle was explained.

The week also included several co-curricular activities. Programmes related to National Integration Day were conducted on 19th November, including an answer-both quiz game session. Universal Children’s Day was celebrated on Thursday, and prizes for both NationQal Integration Day and Children’s Day competitions were distributed during the morning assembly. A medical camp was also organized during the week to support students’ health and well-being.

Overall, the fourth week of the internship strengthened my ability to apply different teaching models effectively and enhanced my understanding of the importance of co-curricular activities in school education

Week 9

 During this week, I had the opportunity to handle Class 9F for the introduction of the chapter Sound and its continuation. On 27th January 2026, the chapter was introduced for the first time using the 5E instructional model. Since this model emphasizes active student engagement and inquiry-based learning, the class initially felt challenging to manage. However, as the lesson progressed, the topic itself captured the students’ interest. The use of varied learning experiences related to sound helped in sustaining their attention. The effective use of sound-based stimuli created curiosity among students and motivated them to participate actively, leading to better classroom interaction and engagement. On 29th January 2026, which was the last working day of School Internship Phase 2, I took the sixth period for Class 9F on the topic Propagation of Sound. The lesson began with a game-based activity where students classified sounds into artificial and natural sounds, which created an en...

                    This was my first week of teaching practice at VPMHSS Vellarada for my third semester teaching practice in  B.Ed programme. I reached the school at 9:00 am in  all days of the week without any delay. In this week, I took 4 classes.                         On 16th July I took a lesson plan on 8D based on the topic molecules of the chapter Elements and compounds.I used  concept attaintment model for the class.During the first phase ,I presented some positive examples including oxygen ,carbon dioxide ,water etc and negative example Iron, hydrogen atom, helium etc, then I ask students to compare both examples and find out the essential attributes and after that I gave some unlabelled examples and ask the students to distinguish it into positive and negative examples and after that I analysed the session and presented a chart showing the defi...

Teaching practice (week 2) 21/07/2025 - 26/07/2025

Image
 The second week of my teaching practice turned out to be an enriching experience with both classroom sessions and co-curricular activities adding variety to the week.                     On 21st July, I handled a class for 8D during the 7th period. The topic was “Elements”, and I tried to make the session more engaging through different activities. For the introduction, I performed a simple experiment followed by an activity that caught the attention of the students. I introduced the concept of atoms and built the foundation for the topic. For the closure activity, I gave the students a word rearrangement task, where they had to form the definition of elements. This helped to reinforce the learning in an interactive manner.On 26th July, I got another class for 8D during the 8th period. The topic was “Compounds”, which I presented using the Concept Attainment Model. I began the session with positive and negative examples, which...
