Learning by participating

 Sir Dr. Eak Prasad Duwadi 

14 October, 2021, we had our first Legal English class, which was not virtual, after the end of one of our holidays.

First few moments of the class: Sir and we, the students, had a little conversation at the very start of our class to recall if we remembered each other's face, to be precise, sir didn't because we never opened our cameras during our online classes.

During the class:  Then, we had three activities in total.

Alphabet wise: We were asked to form a queue according to our alphabets and were then, kept with different classmates. I thought this was the way sir was trying to make every one of us acquainted with each other at a deeper level by knowing each others' strengths and secrets.

Drawing: Sir then asked us to draw a picture whereby we show the relationship between teacher and student. Me and Pranav, who was selected as my bench mate during the first activity, made a flowchart, showing how knowledge is being transferred from generation to generation and thus the relationship between teacher and student.

Diamante poem: With the two words that are opposite to each other, a seven-line poem, whereby, adjectives, nouns, and -ing words related to the respective words, is formed. The poem is known as diamante poem. And we were asked to form such poems with the word "The Earth".

Last moments of the class: At the end of our class, we were asked to prepare Diamante poems as homework and our class formally ended. The class was full of activity sessions and different than the usual classes that we generally have been in, since school. It has more been about learning by participating.

With the hope of learning more and faith in myself, tomorrow will be another adventure.
