Week 5(24/11/2025 -28/11/2025)

 The fifth week of my internship provided opportunities to handle concept-heavy topics using activity-based learning and inquiry-oriented teaching models, along with active participation in co-curricular programmes.

On 24th November 2025, I handled a class for VIII B during the third period on the topic “Reaction of Salts” from the unit Acids, Bases, and Salts. The lesson began with an introduction followed by a revision session to strengthen prior knowledge. Since the topic was extensive, three activities were included to ensure better understanding and student engagement. These activities helped in breaking down the concept and promoting active participation among students.

On 25th November 2025, I took a Physics class for IX A on the topic “Feather and Coin Experiment” from the unit Gravitation. The lesson was planned using the Inquiry Training Model, which encouraged students to ask yes-or-no questions to arrive at scientific explanations. Students responded enthusiastically, and the model created an engaging and thought-provoking learning environment, offering a novel experience for both the students and the teacher.

On 27th November 2025, I handled a class for VIII B during the 7th period on the topic “pH Scale” from the unit Acids, Bases, and Salts. Despite being the last period of the day, students showed keen interest due to the use of simulations and hands-on activities with litmus paper. These practical experiences enhanced curiosity and helped students understand the concept more effectively.

The week also included various co-curricular activities, such as a unix colouring competition, a Little Kitty Show, and a pledge against child marriage, which contributed to students’ social awareness and overall development.

Overall, the fifth week enhanced my confidence in managing lengthy topics, using inquiry-based teaching strategies, and integrating digital and hands-on learning experiences effectively.

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

 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...
