day-17
August 7
I reached school on time, signed the attendance register, and went to the allotted room. The day began with a morning assembly.
I had an optional observation class conducted by Renjini Teacher, which provided useful insights and constructive feedback to improve my teaching approach. During the fourth period, I handled Class 8B, teaching the topic “രാസപരിണമത്തിൽ സംഭാവന നൽകിയ ശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞന്മാർ” from the chapter “ജീവന്റെ ഉത്ഭവം ജീവികളുടെയും”. The lesson helped students understand the contributions of scientists to the theory of chemical evolution.
I also managed substitution duties for Class 8G (third period) and Class 9F (sixth period). Overall, the day was productive and enriching, strengthening both teaching skills and classroom management experience
As part of the field curriculum, two observation classes were conducted during this phase. The first was the general observation class, held on 1st August during the 5th period in 8B. The second was the optional observation class, which took place on 7th August during the 4th period, also in 8B. On the day of the optional observation, the Renjini teacher reached the school early in the morning. The observation began with the class of my peer, Hari, and was followed by my session. I handled the topic “Contributions of Scientists in the Field of Chemical Evolution Theory. "The students participated actively, maintained discipline, and showed interest throughout the session. The class was completed in a smooth and effective manner. The teacher provided valuable feedback and instructions for further improvement. Overall, the observation classes were successfully completed. They gave me confidence in handling students and improved my teaching skills, making the experience meaningful and satisfying.
