Phase 2. Week 7

  Day 27. Monday

As it was a Monday, I did not have any scheduled teaching hours. I remained in the classroom throughout the school hours and utilized the time productively. The day was calm and routine, with no official programmes or special activities conducted in the school.


Day 28. Tuesday 

On Day 28 of teaching practice, I handled two teaching periods in class 8F during the fourth and sixth hours. In the fourth period, I taught the topic “Diagonals of a Parallelogram.” To make the lesson more student-centred, the class was divided into suitable groups, and each group was provided with a parallelogram figure. Students were asked to draw the diagonals and observe their properties. Through this hands-on activity, students were guided to understand that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

In the sixth period, I handled the problem lesson related to diagonals of a parallelogram. The problems were given as group activities to encourage discussion and collaboration. A PPT was used to explain the concepts clearly and to support visual learning. Overall, the day was productive, engaging, and satisfying.


Day 29. Thursday

The second last day of teaching practice followed the regular school schedule. I had a teaching period during the second hour in class 8F, where I taught the lesson “Diagonals” from the chapter Parallelogram. The lesson was planned as a problem-based session focusing on both understanding and application.

The problems included one construction question and one proving question. Students actively participated through group discussion and collaborative problem-solving. They showed keen interest, especially in geometrical drawing and construction, and most of them handled the geometrical instruments confidently. Peer interaction within groups helped students clarify doubts and learn effectively. No special programmes were conducted on this day.


Day 30.  Friday

The 30th day of teaching practice, 16th January 2026, marked the final day of the second phase of my teaching practice. I had my teaching hour during the sixth period, during which I handled a short lesson on the topic “Area of Parallelogram.” To make the lesson more activity-oriented, activity cards containing figures of parallelogram were provided to the students. These activities helped students visualize the concept clearly and understand the relationship between the diagonals and area.

After the activity, application-level problems were discussed to reinforce the concept. Follow-up work was also given to assess students’ understanding and ensure continuity of learning. The session was conducted smoothly, and with this class, I successfully completed the second phase of my teaching practice. The overall experience was enriching and helped me gain confidence in classroom management, activity-based teaching, and effective student interaction. I left the school after the regular school hours.

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...
