Day 29 : School Internship Phase 2

Today was an eventful and enjoyable day at school. I had the opportunity to take two classes, one for 8A and another for 8C. The topic I covered in both classes was the Area of a Trapezium. This is a fundamental concept in geometry, and I aimed to ensure the students had a clear understanding of the formula and its application. I introduced the topic by explaining the concept of a trapezium and its unique properties, such as having one pair of parallel sides. I then derived the formula for the area of a trapezium step by step, ensuring the students understood the logic behind it. Following the explanation, I provided a few practical examples and guided the students through solving them. Most of them participated actively and seemed to grasp the concept well, though a few required additional help. I realized that I need to work on simplifying my explanations further and being more patient while addressing individual doubts. 

Additionally, I noted the need to improve my English communication skills. Effective communication is essential for teaching, and I am determined to enhance this aspect to convey concepts more clearly and confidently.

I had conducted treasure hunt based on Solving equation as a part of Action research. 

Apart from the academic activities, today was special because the school celebrated Pongal. The entire atmosphere was filled with joy and festivity. The celebration was vibrant and reflected the spirit of this traditional harvest festival. There were colorful decorations, cultural performances, and delicious food, including the sweet Pongal dish, which was prepared as part of the event. Students and teachers alike participated enthusiastically, making it a memorable day for everyone. The event provided a wonderful opportunity to witness the unity and diversity within our school community, as everyone came together to celebrate the occasion.

Overall, it was a fulfilling day, both in terms of teaching and experiencing the cultural richness of Pongal. While I enjoyed the celebrations, I also reflected on my teaching practices and areas of improvement. With consistent effort, I am confident that I can enhance my skills and make my classes even more engaging and effective.
