In 9th I made the students do the loud reading of the chapter the trio so as to understand the students competency in reading skills. On day 29 I taught the grammar - active and passive voice in 9th. I used Flashcards and charts to effectively convey the concept. I used examples involving students and instances from classroom settings to make the class interesting.

I used the method learning by Discovery especially while teaching grammar concepts. Students discovered the main concepts by observing the examples and grasping   certain patterns. I was able to promote critical thinking among Students by making them discuss and discover the answers on their own. SIghting examples from classroom settings  facilitated highly enhanced learning experiences and made the class much more interesting.
