TEACHING PRACTICE PHASE II Week 2
TEACHING PRACTICE PHASE II
Week 2
24/11/2025 - 28/11/2025
INTRODUCTION
The second week of my Teaching Practice Phase 2 marked a deeper engagement with classroom teaching, school activities, and professional responsibilities. Having become familiar with the school environment during the first week, I entered this week with greater confidence, improved planning, and a clearer understanding of students’ learning needs. Throughout the week, I focused on delivering well-structured lessons, integrating ICT and activity-based strategies, and actively participating in both curricular and co-curricular programmes. The experiences gained during this period helped strengthen my teaching competency, classroom management, and ability to handle diverse learners. Overall, the week contributed significantly to my growth as a developing teacher and offered meaningful opportunities to refine my pedagogical skills.
Co-Curricular Activities (24/11/2025 – 28/11/2025)
Monday – 24/11/2025
5th Period – Class 8A (Physics)
Topic: General Characteristics of Magnets
During this session, I introduced students to the basic properties of magnets and their practical applications. The lesson covered the identification of magnetic poles, the concept of attraction and repulsion between like and unlike poles, and the nature of magnetic forces. I also explained magnetic levitation and demonstrated how maglev trains use magnetic repulsion to reduce friction and increase speed. Visual aids and simple hands-on demonstrations helped students clearly understand how magnetic poles behave and why magnetic levitation is becoming significant in modern transportation.

1st Period – Class 9A (Chemistry)
Topic: Concentration of Solutions (Mass Percentage)
The class focused on understanding how the concentration of a solution can be expressed using mass percentage. Students were guided through the definition, formula, and practical significance of mass percent in chemistry. Numerical examples were discussed to make the concept relatable and easier to compute. Real-life contexts, such as the concentration of bleaching solutions or saline solutions, were also highlighted to improve conceptual clarity.
Wednesday – 26/11/2025
5th Period – Class 9A (Chemistry)
Topic: Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solutions
Using NaCl and water, I demonstrated the three types of solutions based on solute quantity. Through a practical, activity-based approach, students observed how a solution changes from unsaturated to saturated, and how a supersaturated solution can be prepared and later crystallize. This hands-on experience helped the learners differentiate the concepts more clearly. The experiment enhanced their observational skills and deepened their understanding of solubility limits.

5th Period – Class 8A (Physics)
Topic: Magnetic Compass
In this class, students learned about the working principle and uses of a magnetic compass. An animated video was used to visually explain how the needle aligns with Earth’s magnetic field. Students explored how navigators traditionally used compasses for direction and how it remains relevant even today. A classroom demonstration helped them understand how the compass reacts to nearby magnets and how magnetic fields affect its direction.

1st Period – Class 9A (Chemistry)
Topic: Solubility and Solubility Curves
The final session of the week introduced students to the concept of solubility and the factors that influence it, such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of solute and solvent. Solubility curves were explained using graphical representations to show how solubility changes with temperature. Students learned to interpret the curve and identify regions representing unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated states. This helped them connect earlier lessons with graphical data interpretation.
Co-Curricular Activities (25/11/2025 – 27/11/2025)
Tuesday – 25/11/2025
Shraddha Class
Activity: Debate on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
A debate session was organized to observe the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Students actively participated by presenting arguments on various forms of violence faced by women, the importance of awareness, legal frameworks, and the need for societal change. The activity helped students develop critical thinking, confidence, gender sensitivity, and awareness about human rights. It also encouraged healthy discussion and respect for diverse viewpoints.
Wednesday – 26/11/2025
Activity: Constitutional Day Quiz
To commemorate Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas), a quiz competition was conducted highlighting the background of the Indian Constitution, key features, rights and duties of citizens, and contributions of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Students enthusiastically participated and gained deeper knowledge about constitutional values such as justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. The activity fostered civic awareness and strengthened students’ understanding of democratic principles.
Thursday – 27/11/2025
1. Anti–Child Marriage Pledge
Students took an anti–child marriage pledge as part of the 100-day campaign against child marriage and crimes against women and children. The pledge highlighted the importance of preventing early marriage, ensuring safety and dignity for every child, and reinforcing legal measures for protection.
2. Awareness Campaign on Child Marriage and Girls’ Education
An awareness session was conducted on the harmful impact of child marriage and the need to provide uninterrupted education to girls at least up to graduation. Students were encouraged to advocate for girls’ rights and support empowerment through education.
3. Quiz on the Birth Anniversary of Harivansh Rai Bachchan
To honor the birth anniversary of the renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, a literary quiz was organized. Students explored his poetic contributions, literary style, and cultural influence. The activity promoted interest in Hindi literature and encouraged students to appreciate the works of celebrated Indian writers.
Red Planet Celebration
The school celebrated Red Planet Day to create awareness about Mars and its unique features. Students engaged in short presentations and discussions on why Mars appears red, its atmosphere, and important space missions. The event helped spark curiosity about space and encouraged scientific thinking among learners.
Extra-Curricular Activities (24/11/2025 – 27/11/2025)
Monday – 24/11/2025
Candle Making – SUPW Session by KUCTE Nedumangad Students
A SUPW (Socially Useful Productive Work) session was conducted where B.Ed trainees from KUCTE Nedumangad organized a candle-making workshop for students. They demonstrated the materials required, the melting process, colouring techniques, moulding, and finishing of candles. Students actively participated and enjoyed learning this creative and practical skill. The activity helped them understand the value of productive work, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

I again assisted with mid-day meal coordination, ensuring safe food distribution, maintaining discipline, and supporting younger students. The repeated involvement helped improve efficiency and strengthened rapport with the children.
CONCLUSION
The second week of my teaching practice concluded with a sense of fulfilment and steady professional growth. Each day provided opportunities to improve my instructional strategies, strengthen student engagement, and participate actively in school-based activities. Through consistent interaction with learners, collaborative work with teachers, and involvement in co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes, I gained valuable insights into the multifaceted role of a teacher. The experiences of this week enhanced my confidence, refined my classroom management skills, and deepened my commitment to delivering meaningful learning experiences. Overall, the week proved to be productive, reflective, and enriching, laying a stronger foundation for the remaining phase of my teaching practice.
