DESCRIPTION OF INNOVATIVE
As a part of my teaching practice phase I adopted an innovating work based on the ninth standard chapter Excretion to maintain homeostasis. I took a small topic from the chapter for my work 'Liver waste processing factory in human body' and then I prepared a story line based on that I prepared a comic book based on the story. I made two characters heart and liver and the story progresses through their conversations.
ADVANTAGES OF INNOVATIONS
The biggest challenge any teacher faces is capturing the students' attention and putting across ideas in such a way that it stays with them long after they have left the classroom. For this to happen ,classroom experience should be redefined and innovative ideas that make teaching learning methods more effective should be implemented. It helps the teacher to reinvent their teaching methods and make their classes interesting. The use of innovative methods in the classroom has the potential not only to improve education, but also to empower people, strengthen governance and galvanized the effort to achieve the human development goal for the country.
