TEACHING PRACTICE PHASE I - WEEK 7

 TEACHING PRACTICE PHASE I 

WEEK 7

15/09/2025 - 19/09/2025








INTRODUCTION 

This week, I handled three classes covering the topics of liquid pressure, chemical formula, and manometer. I also joined in the celebration of Engineer’s Day, participated in the mid-day meal distribution, attended the assembly organized for Hindi Day, and served as an invigilator for Aksharamuttam.


CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 

This week, I had the privilege of teaching students of Classes VIII and IX in Chemistry and Physics. In total, I handled four periods, ensuring that each lesson was well-prepared and effectively delivered. Prior to taking the classes, I dedicated time to planning and organizing the lessons so that the concepts were presented in a clear, logical, and systematic manner, in alignment with the curriculum.

On Monday, 15/09/2025, during the 5th period, I handled Physics for Class 8B on the topic Liquid Pressure. To make the lesson engaging, I introduced the concept through everyday examples such as water tanks and dams, which helped students relate the abstract concept to practical situations. Demonstrations and questioning techniques were also used to check their prior knowledge and sustain their curiosity.

On Tuesday, 16/09/2025, in the 1st period, I taught Chemistry for Class 9A on Chemical Formula. Before introducing new concepts, I revised the basics of elements and symbols to build a strong foundation. I then explained how chemical formulas are derived, using step-by-step illustrations and relatable examples from common compounds. Students actively participated by writing formulas and sharing their answers, which made the session highly interactive.

On Wednesday, 17/09/2025, during the 5th period, I taught Physics again for Class 8B on the topic Manometer. The lesson was supported with visual aids and simple examples to explain the working and importance of a manometer in measuring gas pressure. The students were curious and asked relevant questions, which encouraged healthy discussions in the classroom.

On Thursday, 18/09/2025, remained absent on this day as I was writing the KTET exam category 2.

On Friday, 19/09/2025, I was on leave that day in order to attend the KTET examination category 3.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 

On Monday, 15th September 2025, the school celebrated Engineer’s Day with great enthusiasm to honor the contributions of engineers to society. As part of the celebration, a special presentation was conducted highlighting the life and achievements of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, whose birthday is observed as Engineer’s Day in India. The presentation focused on the role of engineers in nation building, development of infrastructure, technology, and innovation. Students were also made aware of how engineering touches everyday life through roads, bridges, machines, communication systems, and medical technology. The session motivated students to think creatively, solve problems, and consider engineering as a meaningful career that serves society.

On Tuesday, 16th September 2025, the morning assembly was organized in connection with Hindi Day. The program began with prayer, followed by thought for the day, news reading, and the pledge. Special items related to Hindi were included, such as a short speech on the importance of Hindi as a national language, Hindi poems, and a skit highlighting the role of Hindi in uniting people from different parts of the country. Students were encouraged to use simple Hindi words in daily life and understand its cultural and communicative value. The assembly helped create respect for linguistic diversity and promoted awareness about the importance of Hindi in India.




EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 


On Tuesday, I served as an invigilator for the Aksharamuttam Quiz, ensuring that the examination was conducted in a fair, disciplined, and smooth manner. I guided the students to their seats, distributed the question papers, clarified instructions, and maintained proper silence and order throughout the quiz. This experience helped me understand the importance of responsibility and impartiality during assessment activities.

On the same day, I also took part in the mid-day meal distribution program. I assisted in serving food to the students and ensured that the process was orderly and inclusive. This activity allowed me to interact with students informally and understand the importance of such welfare programs in supporting students’ health, attendance, and learning

Mid-day meal distribution 

CONCLUSION 

This week was academically and professionally enriching as I got the opportunity to handle lessons in both Physics and Chemistry, focusing on topics like liquid pressure, chemical formulas, and the manometer. Alongside teaching, I actively participated in co-curricular and school-related activities such as the celebration of Engineer’s Day, the Hindi Day assembly, serving as an invigilator for the Aksharamuttam quiz, and contributing to the mid-day meal distribution. These experiences not only strengthened my teaching skills and subject knowledge but also enhanced my involvement in the holistic functioning of the school. Overall, the week provided me with valuable exposure to both classroom instruction and the wider responsibilities of a teacher.
