I engaged 9B during the fourth period. We discussed the grammar concept, compound adjectives. Most of the learners seemed to lack basic understanding regarding the parts of speech. They knew that parts of speech exist, but didn't know what noun, verb, adjective or adverb really meant.
Before discussing about compound adjectives, I had to give a brief orientation regarding parts of speech and their usage. As far as compound adjectives are concerned, theren't wasn't anything bulky to learn. Learners understood the concept faster than I expected them to and created sentences using the compound adjectives like sharp-tongued, long-lasting, kind-hearted etc. Many learners seemed interested in learning new words and enthusiastically wrote the new words on their notebooks. When asked about it many of them opined that they loved learning new words and phrases.
During the last period, I engaged 8C. We discussed the final part of the poem, Taj Mahal. The imagery and other literary devices in the poem were discussed. The learners were asking doubts completely unrelated to the poem. It was hard to balance the lesson and these questions. However, the learners told that they understood the fact that art is immortal and love and grief are really powerful emotions.
