Took cls on the same topic types of reproduction in anew class 8 E1....students were quite shy and somewhat difficult to respond, but I managed with them.
Today I exchanged my first period with sixth period in 8 F with Abhjith, a teacher trainee from St. Thomas Teacher Training College, in order to arrange a practical session. I used to do my Practical demonstration of plant stem cell section with the assistance of Archa. Its really an interesting experience to do practicals among little children because they are more enthusiastic than adults. I saw the brightness in their eyes when they look through the compound microscope. We demonstrated the materials and methods for taking a plant part session. Then I had class in 9 B where I took components of blood and structure of heart. The second lesson plan was completed by arranging an extra class in the evening for half an hour.
As per the time table I didn't have classes today. But as my friend Vismaya informed me that she was leave today and if I am interested I can take her class in 8th and 9th standard as substitution. Actually it was beneficial for me because as yesterday was a holiday I lost my classes in 8th and 9th. I taught types of blood vessels and working of heart in 9b during third and fourth periods. In which the first lesson plan was introduced as a role play model. After lunch break I used to engage with my 8 F students where I taught about simple permanent tissues
