ENGAGING STUDENTS WITH ACTIVITY-BASED LEARNING

On the 21st, 24th, and 25th, I taught students of 9A and 9B using activity-based learning to assess its effectiveness. I used the chapter "The Unstoppable Soul Surfer" by Bethany Hamilton and incorporated activities like group discussions, role plays, and picture descriptions. In each session, students actively participated, making the sessions more interactive and engaging . I observed that teaching using the lecture method made students less interested, but using activities made the classes more interesting. I also realised that teaching using activities made them more attentive. It was clear that activity-based learning had a positive impact on student engagement.

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, marked the fourth day of SAMANWAYAM. The day began with a mesmerizing sunrise viewing at the horizon. We then visited Eknath Ranade and Vivekananthapuram, gaining valuable insights. Our team, Bougainville, took on the responsibility of the Programme and Isai Nila Committee under the guidance of Bindya Ma'am, and I had the honour of delivering the vote of thanks for the program. The day featured an engaging session, "A Trigger to Mind's Eye," conducted by Vinod Santhipuram, India's leading mentalist, which left many students amazed by the power of mentalism. We also visited Thiruvalluvar and his heritage, Vivekananda Rock, and explored its mathematical implications. The day concluded with the vibrant cultural program "Isai Nila," which showcased the talents of  students, leaving everyone spellbound and eager for more.It was an enjoyable experience for both students and teachers.
