TEACHING LEARNING RESOURCES USED
The students may not be able to interpret some words that are new to their vocabulary. This can hinder
their learning process. In order to avoid this, pupil teacher will provide them with synonyms of difficult
words through simple sentences so that they can incorporate the meaning when used in poem. The
students may find difficulty in understanding the concept of the poem since it is based on an abstract
concept that is beauty and not a concrete concept. Therefore, pupil teacher will first make them
understand the meaning in simple words in pre-reading phase, so that they can relate it while
understanding the poem. The students may face problem in reciting the poem, so I will make sure to
recite the poem with rhythm in pre-reading phase to ensure proper recitation by students.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS
The pupil teacher will ask the students the following questions:
The pupil teacher will ask the students to draw a thing/person which they think is beautiful to them. She
will instruct the students to think and draw carefully as she might ask questions later.
The pupil teacher will appreciate each student’s understanding of the term ‘beauty’. She will praise
them for their participation and genuine responses.
She will, then, announce the topic: “Students! Today, we will be reading a poem titles ‘beauty’ written
by ‘E-YEH-SHURE.” The poem is related to our discussion on the same topic ‘beauty”.
C. Providing the Experience/While-teaching Phase/While-reading Phase:

She/He will, then, ask the students to guess the meaning of difficult words.
The difficult words
include:
● Chanting
● Earnest
The Pupil Teacher will, then, explain the meaning of difficult words to the students.
Recapitulation can be done by asking students to silently read the poem or the part covered or any
student can be asked to recite it loudly in front of the class.
Homework can be given to revise poem and difficult words and their meanings. Students can be asked
to find things that they think are beautiful according to them and write their names or click a picture
bring to the class.
Assessment can be done by asking questions like –
• What they understood about the poem,
• Name of the poet,

This will help to identify if they have understood the concept or not.
