Criticism Practice⏳ 25-28th October 2021 Studying during a pandemic has its risks. Especially when we get a long gap from educational activities mainly useful for teaching school kids. We were shown a demo taken by our seniors at the beginning of the year. And that too was confusing, because we didn't know what teaching model it was based on, how to approach a lesson and one half of the class was only what we remembered.  We were to take a 40-minute session, which was divided into 20 minutes each for one team. the teaching was based on three models- 2 ICT-based, 5 Activity-based, and 3 Models( Concept attainment model, advance organizer model, and Direct Instruction model).  When the time came to choose, I was happy that I got at least the activity model for criticism. Priyanka was the other team member. She initiated to do the first course while I gave myself a pep talk to give my all for the second session which was more activity-oriented. We chose the chapter 'The School fo...

                                                                         നവംബര് ഒന്ന് To my birthland Thank you for being mine Thank you for giving me  The most beautiful language in the world Let your rivers and hills Your lakes and falls Mesmerize the world for eternity. Today we had our modal exams for the second sem. The first paper was on Philosophy. Deepthi ma'am was our invigilator. I hope everyone did well. The rain is coming down with full force making it hard for us to travel to the college. Some of the students even wore sarees to celebrate the day.  And today schools are reopening after a long pause. Soon I will also be joining them for my teaching practice. Need to be prepared for the big day. 

  Adieu to Online Classes       Do not give anything to your mother. One should kill their father. We should always stand on the shoulders of our teachers.  This is a concept that our Gibi ma'am passed on to Joju sir, who then passed on to us today. Mainly it means that we should never let our mothers any chance to ask something from us. She should never ask to take something from her children. She should have the freedom to take without asking. One shouldn't be known by their father's fame rather a father should be known by their children's good deeds. And finally one should always grow bigger than their teachers. Today we had a surprisingly easy day. First hour was optional. We returned to our pending works. Listened to seminars. The next session was handled by Joju sir. Physical Science students completed their seminars. They discussed on inventories and anecdotal records.    The next session was handled by Ancy ma'am. She continued with Statistics....

 September 28, 2021                                     Rabbits Make a Home Feel Precious🐇⛈  Today session began with Ancy ma'am bright face asking us about the weather. It was raining pretty hard. Our complaints about the cold made her laugh because ma'am had already done a lot of chores outside her house in the rain and so the cold was the least of her problems. She surprised us with the fact that she had rabbits at her home. The class went super excited listening to Ancy ma'am talking about the new arrivals - baby rabbits.  The class began with a happy note. We were taught about the basics of Statistics- its importance, types, data and how its important in scientific research.  The next session was handled by George sir. Sir took the rest of the portion on Tournament. He also gave an extra class for students who found it tough to ...

 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. For example- Ben is uninterested in joining the tour to Goa . They were uninterested in volunteering. Disinterest means to not take both sides of an argument. Choosing not to take sides. For example: She showed disinterest in taking sides. John was disinterested in his children's fight. Today session Joju sir made us stick positive quotes on the Jamboard. It was super fun and motivating to read so many good thoughts. Physical science students continued with their group discussion.  Nikhil does a good job recording all the group discussions.  The next se...

September 16 Online session                                                                       Why is IPR included in the BEd curriculum? Today's session began with Maya teacher. Today she taught about IPR- Intellectual Property Rights. The different types of IPR- Tangible and Intangible, copyright and related rights and Industrial Property rights. It was an interactive session. The most important part of the class was when she asked us the question about what is the reason for  integrating IPR in BEd curriculum? Because as population increases so is the rising demand for new resources since existing resources are getting depleted in a rapid pace. And this calls for new research and innovations in the field of science and technology. The need for IPR swiftly increases with...
