ROLE PLAY ACTIVITY: ADDRESSING SOCIAL EVILS THROUGH EDUCATION

27 AUGUST,2024 

On August 27, 2024, our class engaged in a thought-provoking and interactive role-play activity as part of our curriculum for the subject Knowledge and Curriculum: Philosophical and Sociological Perspectives. This innovative exercise, guided by our teacher Anusha Ma’am, aimed to delve into pressing societal issues and explore how education can play a pivotal role in addressing them.

Preparation and Structure

The class was divided into five groups, each tasked with presenting a role-play on a specific social evil:

  1. Terrorism
  2. Drug Abuse
  3. Alcoholism
  4. Violence Against Women
  5. Corruption

To ensure a well-rounded and impactful presentation, Anusha Ma’am provided guidance and ample time for script preparation and rehearsals. Students were encouraged to approach the topics academically, incorporating perspectives from educational philosophy and psychology. Each group prepared a 10-minute performance, assigning unique roles to every member to portray different facets of their chosen issue.

Execution

The role-plays were a blend of creativity, research, and teamwork. Each group tackled its topic with enthusiasm, shedding light on the complexities of the social evils they were addressing. For instance, my group, which focused on Terrorism, emphasized the devastating impact of terrorism on individuals, families, and society. We presented a family of father, mother and two children and there loss from terrorism. We creatively presented some roles as doctors, teachers, students, terrorists and all.

Other groups also delivered compelling performances. From exploring the roots of drug abuse to addressing gender violence and systemic corruption, every group provided insightful narratives that resonated deeply with the audience.

Feedback and Learning

Anusha Ma’am carefully evaluated each group’s performance, offering constructive feedback and suggesting areas for improvement. Her observations extended beyond the performances themselves, delving into our understanding of the subject matter and our ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. This role-play activity proved to be an invaluable learning experience for all participants. It not only deepened our understanding of societal issues but also allowed us to reflect on the transformative power of education in curbing social evils. 

The role-play activity was not just an academic exercise but a transformative experience that equipped us with skills in communication, problem-solving, and advocacy. It reinforced the idea that education is a powerful tool for change, capable of addressing even the most entrenched societal issues.

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...

VISIT TO BUDS SCHOOL – A HEARTWARMING EXPERIENCE January 30,2025 As part of our NSS activities, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Buds School at Alayamon Panchayat.

Many of them had participated in Kalolsavam and won great honors, proving their exceptional talents. The program began with a song performance by one of the students, which we all enjoyed and applauded. One student, Appu, was very active and energetic, not worrying about his disabilities.  Some small ch...
