Reflection on my teaching practice days- St.josephs higher secondary school, Thiruvananthapuram

10/0/2015, Monday

Today as it is Monday and first day after the weekend it was felt everything very busy. May be because of we were late. School started as usual. I was on time to the school even though with a little hurry. We had usual prayer. I had class in 9^th standard on 2^nd period. Rainwater harvesting was the topic. The two types of rain water harvesting methods were taught today. Surface run off harvesting and roof top rain water harvesting. Flash cards were used as the learning aid.  It enabled to stress the point were ever necessary. Flash cards help to provide more brain work to improve attention. It improves memory as well as makes learning process fast. Usage of learning aid made the class more effective. The class was a satisfactory level, if would used the pictures of each type of rainwater harvesting method it may become more effective.

            In the afternoon there was inter- house basket ball match. The match was controlled by the senior students themselves. It was good to see such opportunities given to the students. Teachers of sports as well as the house teachers were there to make the students involved in the game. All the curiosity interest happiness everything was there on faces of teachers as the students had. It was an odd experience for me that students considered as important as the teachers. This needs to be developed in all the schools. It is a positive thought.
