Week 2 (19/01/2026- 23/01/2026)

Teaching Practice –Week 2
The second week of my teaching practice during Phase 2 was both engaging and demanding, as it offered opportunities to handle regular classes as well as substitution periods. I was allotted Class 8A, where I continued teaching the chapter “Village of the Watermills” by Akira Kurosawa. Entering the classroom with greater confidence than the previous week, I felt more comfortable managing the class and guiding discussions around the text.
The lesson focused on helping students understand the village setting and the deeper message of harmony between humans and nature. Students actively responded to questions, and their answers showed a growing interest in the narrative and its themes. I tried to encourage participation by asking simple, thought-provoking questions and appreciating their responses, which created a positive classroom atmosphere.
In addition to my regular classes, I was assigned substitution periods. Though unplanned, these sessions helped me develop flexibility and quick decision-making skills. I used the time productively by engaging students in reading activities and informal discussions, which strengthened my classroom management abilities.
Overall, Week 2 was a meaningful learning experience. It helped me reflect on my teaching methods, improve my interaction with students, and adapt to unexpected responsibilities. This week reinforced my understanding that effective teaching requires preparation, adaptability, and a genuine connection with learners.

Week 8 Reflection During this week, I continued my classes in Standard 8 with the lesson Talking of Science and in Standard 9 with the poem Sea Fever. Along with the regular lessons, we also conducted a science quiz, which engaged the students actively and helped them develop more interest in the subject. This being my final week of training, it was a special one. On Friday, at the end of the day, we shared sweets with the children and offered snacks to the teachers and staff as a small token of gratitude. It was a memorable conclusion to my teaching practice, filled with warmth and appreciation.

Week 1 Reflection – Second Phase Teaching Practice Our second phase of teaching practice began at St. Augustine H.S., Mararikulam, and the week unfolded with a mix of excitement and unexpected changes. On the very first day, we were assigned to handle classes 8 A, 8 B, and 8 C, and we looked forward to beginning our lessons with renewed enthusiasm. However, the schedule did not progress as planned. The students of Class 10 had a three-day tour, which led to disruptions in the timetable, and as a result, the 8th and 9th standard classes had no regular periods for most of the week. Despite these challenges, the school atmosphere remained lively. Friday was celebrated as Children’s Day, and the campus was filled with joy and colour. Various programmes were organised for the students, bringing smiles to their faces and creating a cheerful end to an otherwise irregular week. Although teaching sessions were limited, the first week provided valuable experiences and helped us ease back into ou...
