I am science teacher in government school.After teaching small chemistry concept,as home work assignment I ask students to read #NCERT BOOK and write the description of concept in their own words.
Reading-Writing-Doing
For example to write difference between #boiling and #evaporation some intelligent students draw the #diagrams and also look into #u tube videos if possible and then write the #difference in two above mentioned concepts..I as teacher always encourage and appreciate those students who use internet in #positive way.I also inspire #other students to follow the same procedure to get #success in life. If time permits I make #arrangements for students to show chemistry concepts in lab which I taught in theory class.This activity give them hands on experience in life.
Some students do ask me question”madam why are you so particular about our reading and writing habits.”
To answer those students about same I wrote small article “Reading-Writing-Doing” for benefit of my students and pasted the same on notice board of my school.The same I am listing below for my esteem readers.
Dear students”I as teacher wish my students to give good description of any thing or phenomenon when ever they are asked to do so.Writing good description of ‘any thing assigned”is learned skill.One should learn this skill.Prerequisite of learning this skill is
1.read a lot
2.write a lot
3.never hesitate to get hand on experience for assigned positive activities in life
There are three relevant questions about above mentioned prerequisite is
1.how much to read
2.how practice of doing writing will help one with how to write.
3how .doing experiment in lab/in life/home front give one, hands on experience of learning by doing.
Answer to above mentioned questions if one gets in “yes” format one is sure to get success in life.
To conclude -dear students I as teacher try my best to make my students answer above mentioned question in yes format.That is goal of my teaching.I hope now you will appreciate my concerns for you.
Moral-one can learn only by doing even if it reading,writing or hands on experiences.One cannot succeed in life unless one read a lot , write a lot and do hands on experiment a lot.
