Facing an Interview ?

             Have you got a call/ letter from a Company? Asked for an interview........... This is the path for it.
Another activity in our ppd session. It was the we have to face to a small interview which was conducted by our friends in ppd session.

             In our ppd session miss sarasi teaches us how to face an interview. So that in this day we have to face that interview in the classroom. We walked with confidence, Kept a smile on our face. answers what our friends asked. At that moment we really think about job positions about our strengths,weakness. So that we think that what we want to improve as well as to do to show our strengths in an interview.
In some occasions we forget to keep eye contacts. Sometimes forget to keep the chair when we got up and forget to say thank you..

            Most of us made simple mistakes during our interview. But we got little experience from that interview. That was the first time interview for all of us.

But we learn lot of things.

• Shake hand properly. Don't show them you are nervous and all just act natural.
• Introduce yourself Correctly.
• Don't tell too much.
• Don't ask for salary.
• Dont ask how many people appear for that position.
• Thnak the interviewers.
• Put chair back before leave the place.

Story Writing

               Another activity in our ppd session. We were divided in to 3 groups and asked to sit facing back to the White Board.In each group one team members was given a white board marker. After She told us to write a story with a good Ending. Each student can write one word at a time. There were four rounds and we were not allowed to talk with the team members and make the quick story. Everyone had to go to the white board and write a word. 

                     We ran to the white board and read the story and wrote the next word. It was So difficult to us.  At the last round miss sarasi changed the order of  the team members. However we wrote the story. But it is not a good story and it was funny to read.

 From this activity we learn lot of things. 

• Hard to do a group activity without discussing each other.
• Communicating is very important.
• Different people think in different ways.
• We have to listen the others ideas.
• Team work is useful to communicate with others.

Little Rockets

       After long time Our PPD  Madem Srasi given us a another interesting group project. That was a make paper rockets.

       She provided us 6 A4 sheets and told us to make many paper rockets from that papers.The Size of the rockets was regardless.

  After madem devided us to teams and gave us the challange. First we discussed about how make large number of rockets from that 6 A4's. 

  

However we Started to make rockets.She gave us 20 minutes to make rockets. From that time we maked 36 paper rockets. 

After that she gave us another challange. That was She marked the line and told us to send the all rockets across the line.  However we could send 24 rockets across the line.

This is the one of another group activity done our PPD sesion.
