            WEEK FIVE : (5/12/2016 - 9/12/2016)

                

          This week begins with an unpleasant news of the demise  of tamil nadu CM jayalalitha. So government proclaimed leave for one day. Thus we got only four working days. this week we got our timetable for our third semester examination and our college gave us permission to take a break in our internship programme from 9th of December till 19th of December. So we met headmistress and submitted a written letter requesting a break in our internship programme. I conducted an examination last week and i corrected and gave the papers to my students this week. I was really happy to see the marks of my students. They scored excellent marks except two or three students. In my first intership programme only two or three students passed in the examination, majority scored very less marks. Girls learn far better than boys. I tried my level best to teach them in b.n.v. but here i am enjoying this profession.  In the midst of the happiness what made me depressed was to know their knowledge in using grammar. Only few students know to write a sentence without grammar mistakes. So what i decided was to teach them basic grammar. As a teacher  trainee this was not my duty but as a teacher i should teach them whatever i can to draw out the best in a student. So i decided to teach them basic grammar. I told them frankly about their grammar mistakes and told them that they should study how to write a sentence without grammar mistakes. They were really interested to learn and i taught them with utmost interest. Then i made them write 'my self' in simple english and they wrote it without any mistakes. They dont even know the relevance of using apostrophe 'S'. So i taught them that also. I felt really happy that they got some knowledge for future from me.

           I told them that i am taking a break as i have to write my examination. My students were really sad to hear this and they wanted me to stay there. On 9th of December we had a small celebration at our class and we selected Christmas friend. We exchanged greeting cards and i was surprised that i got many greeting cards and Christmas gift from my students. They collected Christmas wish from me in a paper. I asked them to write their examination good and wished best of luck to my students. They asked me to come back soon and bid me bye. Then i left the school to get prepared for my examination.
