PHASE 2 - DAY 15

-
On 02-07-2024, Tuesday, second hour, I engaged IXC students. We began with a new chapter from unit 2 titled "The Toilet by Gcina Mhlope. As the 9th standard textbooks were revised this year, the task of introducing a chapter was a bit difficult one. Teacher felt the themes and ideas, a hard nut for the learners.

To introduce the theme of the chapter, the teacher decided to engage the learners with some pictures from the movies Mallu Singh, Sitaramam and RRR. Even though some students thought it for entertainment initially, the teacher was able to attain her goal. I realised that the task of an English teacher increased with the arrival of the new text book. The teacher's act of showing a small video from the movie Gilli generated active response from Vijay fans which in turn led the Suriya fans to respond. The teacher managed them with great struggle. I found it easy to teach the chapter after the successful introduction. 

Since the story is written by a South African writer, there were a little new words in it. This was a relief to the learners. Poornima even said that she knew all the words after the silent reading. She was acting as if she conquered the entire world. The comprehension was done in an engaging and effective manner.

The discourse of writing dialogues for conversation led to an acting competition In which the learners displayed all their abilities though all the groups had almost similar dialogues. The acting skills of Poornima and Sneha was well appreciated by the teacher and the other students. Overall, the class went good with the participation of the students.
