Our teaching practice was destined to have its beginning via online platforms. We were all anxious about our teaching practice as the pandemic had brought considerable delay to the academics. However, though online we got the opportunity to have our teaching practice by November 2.
Day 1 (2/11/20)
The first practice of the session had to be a shared one, so myself, Keerthi and Reshma took the lesson Song of a Dream by Sarojini Naidu. We only got 10 mins each to complete our portions. I had taken the first two stanzas of the poem. First day of our practice went well.
Day 2 (3/11/20)
On the second day we began our individual practice. I began with the poem A Prayer in Spring by Robert Frost. I was quite relaxed today when compared to the first day. I had made a mistake while displaying the picture of the stanza. Thankfully I was able to spot it quickly and rectify it. I felt sad about making the mistake.
Day 3 (4/11/20)
By today the teaching practice had become the new normal. Todays session was the most difficult session I had taken. Due to technical issues I could not hear the responses of my pupils (peers). Teaching seemed very difficult as a one-man speaking process.
Day 4 (5/11/20)
I felt quite confident in todays class. It was perhaps the emergency management practice of the previous day that made me less anxious today. I had listed a couple of plans in case my initial procedures wouldn't work smoothly. I was able to complete the session well and I felt quite accomplished.
Day 5 (6/11/20)
Today I began with a new prose lesson The Scholarship Jacket by Marta Salinas. When compared to the poetry lesson, the amount of preparation required for the prose lesson was quite immense. I am working on improving my volume and voice modulation as suggested by my peers and teachers.
