The document summarizes a classroom lesson on a short story by Vaikom Muhammad Bashir. The teacher began the class by introducing Bashir and his writing style. She generated interest by announcing they would read "The Snake and the Mirror". The teacher then read the story aloud, asked comprehension questions, and had students read silently. Difficult words were defined and the chapter was concluded with an assignment imagining life as the character. The reflection praised the teacher's energy, confidence and ability to engage students, though noted managing high school students can be more challenging than the idealized lesson.

Reflection:
Teacher starts the class with an excerpt from the
novel of Vaikom Mohammad Basheer, which
surprises the audience, but as the chapter’sauthoris
Basheer himself it is a good start. Teacher greets the
students and starts the class, on a first look itself
teacher appears energetic and full of positive vibes.
Teacher talks about thebook which she was reading
at the beginning , the style in which she introduces
the author generates curiosity in the audience, the
teacher appears very confident and comfortable, it
seems that she is enjoying her work and one never
feels that he/she is listening a class. Her hand and
eye movements were near perfect and impressive.
She explains the paragraph with relevant questions
from the same, I especially liked her tone and
expressions.
But let me mention that I have never seen a teacher
teaching the tenth standard with such elegance,

3. professionalism and politeness which appears
unrealistic and may give a wrong impression to the
beginners that managing a class is an easy affair, the
real classroom setting has its own strictness and is
not a bed of roses as it appears.
But the class observed was an excellent one.
