ECSTATIC REFLECTION

TEACHING PRACTICE UPDATES Crossing the barriers created by Covid-19, teaching practice started in its full swing through online mode.  My teaching practice is done in association with Govt.

A discussion on the topics was done with her. She added me to the Whatsapp groups of Std. 8A and Std. 9 A.  On the next day, we prepared 2 lesson plans for the classes and assessed their assignments. The Light on the Hills of eighth standard and Song of the Rain of ninth standard were taken.  On 19th November,2020, from 7pm to 8pm, a class was taken for the eighth grade.

 We were asked to watch any of the First Bell Digital Classes through KITE-VICTERS and prepare a brief note and reflection of it.  I watched video lessons of classes 6-12.

  Peer teaching of the third semester started on 5 th of October 2020 at 10pm. Started with collaborative teaching, the first two classes of the peer teaching were taken as a single unit. Later, the collaborative classes were divided into 2 units via Google meet. After the completion of two collaborative lessons of each group, individual classes were taken-two each. An asynchronous class was also recorded and submitted.                         Peer teaching was an amalgamation of experiences.
