INNOVATIVE LESSON PLAN                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

INNOVATIVE WORK

CLINOMETER

  

'My innovative work is clinometer' I made clinometer based on chapter 'Trigonometry' in tenth std. Clinometer help to find the angle of elevation and using it  the height of the buildings,tree or tower can be measured, without actually measuring it.

CLINOMETER

Clinometer is an instrument that measures vertical slopes , usually the angle between ground or the observer and a tall object.

CONSTRUCTION OF CLINOMETER

STEP 1 : Get a protractor with one straight edge.

STEP 2 : Tape a straw along the straight edge of protractor.

STEP 3 : Tie a string through the small hole on the straight that in directly across from the 0                                 degree mark on the protractor.This may also be labelled as 90 degree.

STEP 4 : Attach a bead or small stone at the end of the string.

My aim is to find the height

of the building in the model. Angle of elevation is found using clinometer and it is 47 degree.Using the trigonometric ratio tan , the height of the building is got as 30 cm.

               FOURTH SEMESTER TEACHING PRACTICE

     

                             Fourth semester teaching practice started on November 8th.  I selected Government Vocational Higher Secondary School,Chunakkara for my practice teaching. Nine B Ed trainees from K U C T E, Kunnam selected this school. They are Manju Murali, Remya Raj, Haripriya  (Natural Science) , Jijo Samuel , Remya R (Physical Science) ,Asha A P , Nija Vijayan (Social Science) , Vidhubala,  Lekshmi Priya  (Mathematics ).
 
FIRST WEEK
                        On the first day, teachers in the  gave us a  warm welcome.  There was a special assembly on first day  (November 8) to distribute the prizes for winners in the  State Athletic Meet , States Science Fair and State Science Fair. School PTA President Sri. Gopalakrishnan and Headmistress Smt. Vijayalekshmi  distributed the prizes to the winners.
               

I started the chapter ' Money  Maths ' in  8 B class.  There was a  send off function in the school on Friday. The party was conducted to give send off to former Headmistress Smt. Sheela. The teacher invited us for the lunch.  We wished her all the best for her future career. 

SECOND WEEK
                               I completed three lesson plans of the chapter 'Money Maths' in last week. In this week I completed another 5 lesson plans. This chapter is interesting for the pupils because simple mathematical calculations are used to solve the problems.
The school celebrated Children's Day.a boy from 10th standard is selected as the Prime Minister. The school Headmistress Smt. Vijaya Kumari and Malayalam teacher delivered Children's Day message.

Teacher's in the assigned us a new task. The task is to teach English to 8th standard Malayalam medium. We teach them during lunch break.

THIRD WEEK
       
                        In this week I completed the chapter ' Money Maths'. The last section of this chapter 'Increasing & Decreasing' is an application of compound interest .I showed two bar graphs to explain the concept of 'Increasing & Decreasing'. First one shows use of mobile phones in India which is increasing and the other one shows decreasing use of radios in India.
I started the chapter 'Construction of Quadrilaterals'. As this chapter contains the drawing of geometrical figures pupils are more interested. I started the chapter by remembering the pupil about the construction of squares which they had learnt in 4th standard.

FOURTH WEEK

                            In this week I taught the construction of rectangles, rhombus and parallelogram.  Our general paper teacher Smt. Jaya miss came to observe our classes. I taught the section 'construction of parallelogram'. I started the class by asking the properties of parallelogram. There are two methods for constructing a parallelogram. First is , when two sides and one diagonal is given and the other is when two sides and two angles are given. I used chart, containing steps of construction of parallelogram, as teaching aid. Also there was activity cards, containing questions. Teacher analysed the class and gave good comments. Also she put forward some suggestions to make my teaching more better.

FIFTH WEEK

                            Jeevan, a T.V channel selected G.V. H. S. S  Chunakkara for a program called 'Haritha Keralam'. They shooted the whole school  and its working. There was a special assembly on that day.

First Week... 

                            

                       My first day on the school as a teacher was on 21st June. There are 26 students on 8 C. June 21st is International Yoga Day so I gave a brief class about Yoga Day. Then I asked students about the importance of  Mathematics on our daily life. They actively responded to my question. Then I started the chapter 'Equal Triangles'.Using teaching aids and chart I taught the portion 'two sides and a angle'.

                         First day on the school as a teacher was a nice experience for me.

  On the second day Mathematics period was on 5th period. I taught them problems on the text book. Some of the students are confused on corresponding angles and I helped them to make it clear.

On Friday, KSU declared strike. Only 12 students were present on that day. At 11'0 clock school students went to their home due to strike. We remained on school till 3.15 pm.

Second Week... 

                     There were only two working days on this week. I completed two lesson plan on these days.  It's very hard to complete problems on the text book as students are too different in their grasping ability. 

Third Week...

                       There were only four working days in this week. I got a chance to meet 5th standard students in this school. Those children were so cute and active.
