It was fascinating to see a good number of participation from the students. The topic given for the essay writing competition was favourite place or favourite author. A student named Navamy. H bagged the first prize. She wrote about the Malayalam author Shri.Vaikom Muhammed Basheer. Her language seemed spontaneous and flowy.
Apart from the substitution I had class in 9C. I taught them the topic "Structure and peculiarities of Alveoli". I used the learning aids like labelled diagram, description charts and ICT videos to teach the topic.
