Experiences of an Exam Week

      

       The week was solely dedicated to curricular activities and the students were a bit restless about the mid-term examination that was scheduled from Wednesday. I continued with the textual activities provided with the poem "Song of a Flower" and dealt with the poetic device "Metaphor" in detail.

       I had invigilation duty for three subjects in the mid-term exam. It was a nostalgic experience as I could literally recollect the vivid memories of myself writing exams in eighth standard. But I strongly felt that the attitude of learners towards exams has changed drastically. There were hardly any tensed faces in the examination hall.

   As a part of EDU - 11: Developmental Perspectives in Education, we, the teacher-trainees from the Department of English, conducted a conscientization programme for the students of 8C on 17th November 2023 (Friday) from 11.00am to 12.15pm. We chose the topic, "Teenage Problems", as the students could easily relate it to their own life-situations.

Conscientization Programme

    We took up the issues of behavioural changes, bullying and body image and elicited other teenage specific concerns from the students  through an interactive session.

    An inventory was also provided to each student in order to have a better understanding of how they perceive themselves. The students were very active through out the programme, as they could plentily pick up instances of what we were talking from their personal lives.Through the programme, we could convey the importance of promoting self-care and self-love with due consideration to the happiness and well-being of others as well as the world in large.

  As the week flew past, I eagerly look forward to what the coming week has in store...!!!
