GOAT DAYS- READING AND REFLECTION

29TH APRIL, 2021    

On 29th, finally my turn came to take seminar on reading and reflection. I reflected on the book 'Goat Days', written by Malayalam writer Benyamin.

Benyamin

The novel recounts the life of Najeeb, a Keralite migrant trapped in Saudi Arabia. First published in 2008 in Malayalam–'Aadujeevitham'–and translated into English in 2012 by Joseph Koyippalli. The book won the Kerala Sahitya Academy award. The book is banned in Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Benyamin has also released two more books (in Malyalam) that is  set in the Gulf nation, a twinset about the Arab world- “Al Arabian Novel Factory and A Spring without Smell. It is a twin novel on the same subject with different perspectives.

After that Megha presented a reflection on the book 'God of Small Things' written by prize winning author Arundhati Roy.


This was followed by Maya ma'am's online session. It was Physical Science optionals who took the seminar.

On the same day I participated in a dance competition, organized by the Union of MTTC as part of World Dance day widely celebrated on April 30th.

 September 27th 2021                                       Disinterest or Uninterest Both words are used quite often today. But both words don't mean the same thing. Uninterest is the opposite of interest. It means to not show any care or concern for things. One is said to show disinterest when they don't bother to do something.

It is designed keeping the modern tech-savvy learners in mind.To address their learning styles and needs, an e-textbook is usually designed with features that will help them learn better and engage more with the learning material.      A major selling point of digital textbooks is that they offer the opportunity for students to access multimedia content, such as embedded videos, interactive presentations and hyperlinks. Tests and other assessments can be included in the textbook, classmates can work together, and student progress can be tracked.

 26-08-2022 Last Day of Teacher Training Internship @     ST Goretti's HSS, Nalanchira The day finally came and I was feeling sad that we had to leave during the exam seasons as it prevented us from saying a proper goodbye to our students and our dear teachers.  Even during these days, students came to us to clear their doubts. Although it was our last day we still attended to our school duties and assisted teachers in their invigilation duties. At 11:15 we assembled at the Hm's office for a short vote of thanks session. I was in charge of the speech and thanked all the staff and students for their love and support. We also presented a thank you gift to the HM and also distributed some sweets. Then we had a photography session with the teachers. I can never forget the experience that I got from St Goretti school.
