I reached the school by 9 a.m. and signed the attendance register. I then attended the staff prayer.
During the first period, our Head of the Department of Natural Science, Ms. Sreedevi ma'am visited our school for observation. The class was scheduled for the third period, and I taught the topic of "Diffusion" to class 9C using an activity-based lesson plan. My learning aids included demonstration materials, descriptive charts with diagrams, and activity cards.
After the class, Ms. Sreedevi ma'am provided valuable feedback on how to improve my teaching methods. She made several suggestions, which I have noted for future reference. Additionally, she reviewed and signed my lesson plans and reflective journal. She left by 1 p.m.
In addition, our general teacher also observed my class and offered constructive feedback. Her insights were equally enlightening and encouraging.
Following the lunch break, there was science club inaugration.
Later, I took class for 9 C on the topic "Facilitated diffusion" using ICT based lesson plan.
The day concluded with the national anthem at 3:30 p.m. I signed the attendance register and left the school by 3:45 p.m. Overall, it was a highly productive day, enriched by the constructive feedback from my mentors.
