   Today was my last day of my online teaching practice session. I took topic electronegativityfrom the chapter periodic table. I started the class by taking attendance and engaged in casual talk . Students were given opportunity to answer a large set of questions which I believe might increase their competency in the subject matter. Some students had network issues. Apart from these issues ,the class went well. I discussed the topic eletronegativity through presentation. Today  marked the last online class of fourth semester teaching practice.  I never thought it would be possible even to take class for school students amidst of this pandemic situation. I am happy that I was able to complete the teaching practice session in a good manner.  I hope I can consider all the suggestions and remarks made by the teachers and use them to improve my performance in coming classes.
