Tuesday 17 - Friday 20 November 2015


School:
The next few days at school were a bit easier as I'm starting to get use to how things work.  I'm taking more English and less maths classes as I find them a lot easier to teach.  For the English classes all the students have a textbook which is distributed from the Karnataka State Government.  It is actually a very good textbook, it is to cover 6 months of teaching.  I think we are to teach them one exercise each day, an exercise generally consists of a story or poem to read then questions to answer.  The classes that I teach are between 3rd and 8th standard which I think is about 8-14 year olds.  It is quite difficult to overcome the language barrier at times but most of the children understand basic English words.
