PHASE 2- DAY 1
Yesterday is but today's memory,
And tomorrow is today's dream.
-Khalil Gibran
I was not much tensed as I was familiar with the school surroundings and the students. Many students greeted me, came running over to me, enquired my wellbeing and expressed their happiness. This was something very warm and welcoming.
During the 3rd hour, I went to 9 C since the teacher in charge Ms. Nimmy instructed me to observe her class. I was able to understand that even though the class 9 textbook changed recently she was handling it with such an easeness and fluency. With the help of powerpoint slides, she familiarised the students with the 3 units in the part 1 textbook. She then began the first chapter from unit 1 titled "Half a day". I was also surprised to see many students responding to the questions raised by the teacher. This inturn gave me hope. I was also able to analyse the growth of the students both mentally and intellectually from 8C to 9C. After the class myself and Nimmy tr had an informal conversation and we made a comparison between the old and new 9th standard english textbooks. She finally summarised the things I have to do in 9C. The first day went by without creating much troubles.
