Think Pair Share

When Think Pair Share Strategy combined with ICT it worked so well. Ionic compounds and types of covalent bonds were discussed using these techniques. 

Phase 1:THINK -Video was provided to aid thinking on the concept
 
Phase 2: PAIR- Students were paired and allotted time discuss their findings

 
Phase 3: SHARE - Student groups were asked to write a note on the concept provided. Daily milk Bubbly was offered to winning team. Lack of continuity in presentation of ideas were the problem noticed in students' write up. Hence a general format in the form of rubric was given for second session 
Rubrics used for evaluating performance. In addition to this involvement of both members of the pair was assured.


Problems faced: Initially planned to combine ionic and covalent bonding in a single hour (total 8minutes) , but due to network issues the attempt failed and splitted into two sessions.

Merits: More attention from students, more grasping of the concept. Ownership of knowledge and Responsibility in learning are the visible advantages of the method

It was just after the camp, we got another opportunity to explore new dimensions within us- Women's Day Celebration!   Sarika teacher selected me to coordinate the event, and Shajil and Nishitha volunteered their whole hearted cooperation to coordinate the event.  The main events were a fusion of poems based on women's lives, it included Amma and Kothampumanikal by ONV Kurup , Sakhi by Vijayalakshmi Chullikadu. Megha, Akshaya, Arathy and Syga recited the poems. Then Greeshma presented a dance composition on "Thadaka enna Dravida Rajakumari" by Vayalar. Later it was my turn to deliver a speech on Gender equality and teacher's Role in it. The most interesting event was the tabloid on Raja Ravi Varma's women. The  mime by team commerce on the problems faced by women were quite heart touching. Song by Swedha Mariam's on it's concluding session enhanced it's depth.   It was overwhelming for me to welcome great comments from teach
