Quite a tiring and satisfying day. The quiz to my rescue again. A quiz really gets the girls excited. While it sure does bring out their competitive side, it also makes them discuss with one another. But some girls just sit idly, expecting their teammates to take all the initiative. Maybe creatively dividing up the teams can goad them to participate too. Am very happy about the interest Aarthi now shows, and the initiative she takes. Roopa and Swati are becoming tough to handle, what with their perennial readiness for some masti! :) Have to bargain hard with them to get them to work sometimes. At others they are most responsive, especially in English! I wonder how people manage classes with more than 15 students. I find it hard enough with 10! And in larger classes, with the students ganging up, things would get so much tougher! Toughest part of the class is to keep everyone interested, the bright ones, the slow ones, the naughty ones and the lazy ones! Thank goodness for the sincere, quiet ones! :-)
And oh, from today, I handle their science classes as well.
Note to self: Must find ways of grabbing their attention and disciplining them without explicitly shushing them. What if they grow completely silent then!!
