Phase 2. Week 6

 Day 25. Wednesday 

The twenty-fifth day of the second phase of teaching practice was a productive one. I reached the school by 9 a.m. and had my teaching period during the third hour. On this day, I introduced a new chapter, Parallelogram, with focus on the topic Sides and Angles. The lesson was planned using the Concept Attainment Model.

To introduce the concept, I presented both positive and negative exemplars of parallelogram to the students. Various figures were shown to help them carefully observe and compare the properties of different shapes. Through active participation and discussion, the students analyzed the examples and were able to identify the concept of parallelogram on their own. This method encouraged logical thinking and deeper understanding of geometric properties. Follow-up activities were provided to reinforce the concept further. After the class, the day continued with regular academic work.


Day 26.  Thursday

Today’s class focused on the problem lesson of the topic “Sides and Angles,” conducted as a complete drawing session. The lesson was problem-based and concentrated on drawing parallelograms, a topic that students usually find challenging. To make the concept clear, the first two problems were demonstrated on the board using geometrical instruments. After the demonstration, students were able to draw the figures correctly in their notebooks.

The remaining two problems were given as a group activity, where students worked collaboratively and successfully completed the drawings. The lesson generated interest among the students and helped improve their confidence in constructing parallelograms. Follow-up activities were given to reinforce learning. No special programmes were conducted in the school on this day.

15/09/2025.(Monday)  It was a bright and lively day at the school. Being a Monday, I reached the school on time. I had no regular class scheduled for the day. The UP section had their Sports Day, and the whole campus was filled with excitement and energy. The sports day began by an inauguration ceremony and flag hoisting by the guest. There was a march past conducted by students from NCC, JRC, SPC etc. During the third period, I got a substitution in Class 8 F, where I managed the class and ensured discipline was maintained. We, the teachers, were not assigned any specific duties for conducting the sports activities. This gave me the chance to observe the students as they participated enthusiastically in different events. The program was lively and well-organized, and it created a cheerful environment throughout the school. It was an active day overall, and I was able to handle my responsibilities effectively while also enjoying the students’ spirit of participation in sports. 16/0...

 The week was filled with new beginnings, valuable feedback, unexpected challenges, and meaningful learning experiences. Each day brought something different, reminding me how dynamic a teacher’s journey can be. Here's a reflective summary of my week: Monday – 4th August 2025 There were no teaching periods scheduled for me today. I stayed in my allotted class and used the time to stay updated with my preparation and observations. Though I didn’t teach, it gave me a calm start to the week and space to get mentally ready for the lessons ahead. Tuesday – 5th August 2025 Today I had two classes and introduced a new chapter – Polygons. I used the Concept Attainment Model, which turned out to be both effective and engaging. The students responded well and participated actively in identifying the properties of polygons through examples and non-examples. It felt good to start the chapter on such a positive note. Wednesday – 6th August 2025 This day was quite special as my tutor, Dr. Brinda...
