The third week of the internship was quite a normal one. In 8A class, the chapter 'Nightingale and the Rose' was tought completely.In 9.B 'The Last Leaf' was completed. Both were prose and the activities related to the chapters were done by the students.Some grammatical elements were also there.I felt a little difficulty in teaching them but I managed it by ensuring the active participation of the students.Some old question papers were discussed as the second terminal examination was to be conducted on 9th Dec.Notes and videos related to the chapters were provided.In the noon time we served meals for students and teachers.I got extra classes everyday.Some children were mischievous in my class and I could keep the discipline well.On the last day a student gave us some chocolates as a good farewell.It lead us to a great moment of happiness.
