TEACHING PRACTICE: WEEK 6
Teaching Practice – Week 6
The sixth week of my teaching practice was a meaningful continuation of my journey as a budding teacher. By now, the school environment felt like a second home — familiar faces, daily routines, and the vibrant energy of the students had all become part of my rhythm. This week, I focused on using ICT tools more effectively and experimented with new teaching models like the Concept Attainment Model. Each day brought opportunities to refine my methods, interact more deeply with students, and strengthen my confidence in classroom management. It was a week filled with learning, creativity, and rewarding classroom experiences that deepened my understanding of what it truly means to teach.
Day 26 – Wednesday, 10 September 2025
The day began just like any other — calm and full of purpose. I reached school on time, signed the register, and organized my materials for the day. My first few minutes were spent quietly reviewing my lesson plan and preparing to teach the next section of “The Day My World Changed.”
During the 2nd and 3rd periods, I used ICT to make the lesson more engaging. The visuals and images helped students connect emotionally with the story. They were curious, expressive, and eager to respond to questions. I was happy to see them note down meanings and complete activities with genuine interest. After the sessions, we had a short break, which gave everyone a moment to relax. Later, during lunch break, I joined my peers for our regular lunch duty — a routine that has started to feel familiar and fulfilling.
Day 27 – Thursday, 11 September 2025
I reached school and signed the register as usual, ready for another meaningful day. I began by arranging my teaching materials and mentally reviewing my lessons. During the 4th period, we conducted an awareness class in 9F, which turned out to be an enriching experience. The students spoke freely, shared their views, and interacted enthusiastically, making the session lively and thought-provoking. Later in the day, I continued teaching “The Day My World Changed” and completed the final paragraphs using ICT. The students responded with interest and energy, showing their understanding through discussions and activities. Between classes, I attended other periods as instructed, performed lunch duty, and used my free time to complete pending academic work and prepare lesson plans.
Day 28 – Friday, 12 September 2025
Fridays always bring a cheerful energy to the school. I arrived on time, ready to introduce a new grammar topic — Question Tags — through ICT. During the 3rd period, I explained the concept using examples and visuals, which made learning both simple and engaging. The students participated actively, answering questions and writing notes neatly in their notebooks.
After lunch duty, we helped the teachers organize the Friday Quiz, which turned out to be both competitive and fun. I also spent some time preparing lesson plans and assisting with classroom management. The day ended on a positive note, leaving me satisfied with the students’ growing confidence.
Day 29 – Monday, 15 September 2025
A new week began with fresh motivation. I reached school on time, signed the register, and reviewed my lesson plans. The highlight of the day was trying out the Concept Attainment Model for teaching Verbs during the 5th period. I presented positive and negative examples using slides, and it was rewarding to watch students gradually arrive at the correct concept on their own.
Later, in the 6th period, I began a new unit — “Talking of Science.” Using ICT, I introduced the first part of the chapter, and students showed genuine curiosity about the scientific ideas discussed. Their active participation made the class vibrant and interactive.
Day 30 – Tuesday, 16 September 2025
The morning assembly set a peaceful tone for the day. I was excited to continue with “Talking of Science” during the 4th and 6th periods. The students listened intently and were eager to discuss the scientific aspects of the text. ICT-based visuals helped bring the content to life, encouraging critical thinking and curiosity.
Throughout the day, I also attended substitution classes, engaged students in short tasks, and maintained discipline. It was a productive and fulfilling end to the week — a reminder of how each day of practice helps me grow as a teacher.
