PHASE 2- DAY 28
On 23-07-2024, Tuesday, 2nd hour I engaged ac students. Since it was a new poem I decided to shao the moral story of the hare and the tortoise, to connect it to the theme of the poem "Success". But to my surprise they were not able to tell the moral of the story After the introduction I read the poem. In this class, as the teacher way very much aware that, a lot of selly and serious doubts regarding the new and difficult words would emerge, I even included the image a feet the word study done with the help of videos and pidures were so powerful that the learners were able to genuate the meaning by themselves. I found the pronunciation of Nithya to be very good when she did the loud reading. Learners answered the comprehension questions. To the surprise of the teacher Poornima's random answers became correct Appreciation was done with the help of powerpoint slides and I found it very difficult to teach the particular example in metaphor from the poem. The activity again went against the expectation of the teacher as many students were able to get the correct answer. Overall the class went good.
Sheena ma'am came to observe my class. She suggested a lot of improvements Even though I used to follow lesson plan on that day I became very conscious of the steps as I was afraid that I will miss out something. She also advised me to recite the poem instead of reading She also provided me with some altemate methods to improve learner engagement and on the effective use of charts. She created the knowledge on the importanco of making the children recite the poem and on the need to use simple language.
