Today morning, Kavyansh, a student of Class 3 lost his pet dog. He was feeling very sad and depressed. To console and cheer him up, his classmates were encouraged to make a card for him, in which his classmates wrote sympathy messages for him.
This activity taught the students to feel for others, build relationships, communicate better and make efforts to bring a smile on faces of people around them.
Teaching strategy- Theatrical Expression was used in Class 5 to teach the mood of fear and helplessness felt by students in the boarding school of Mr. Creakle where David Copperfield was sent as punishment by his step father.
Teacher through exaggeration in her gestures and vocal expression showed body language and tone of voice of Mr. Creakle which instilled fear in his students.
In this activity, students were asked to use their imagination and design a hairstyle. After designing it, they had to describe it with the help of descriptive words and explain what made them design it, who all are going to have this kind of hairstyle and whether it will help them in their career.
This activity helped the students in understanding that description is important in writing because it provides readers with significant details about a character, setting, or event in a story.
Informational text is nonfiction writing, written with the intention of informing the reader about a specific topic. It is typically found in magazines, science or history books, autobiographies and instruction manuals.
Learners of Class 3 were divided in groups of 5. Each group was given an encyclopedia from the class library. Learners chose one topic of their choice, noted down key information and wrote an information text on topics: Pokemon, Hot and Cold Places on Earth, Layers of Earth, Dinosaurs and many more.
Learners found this activity highly motivating since the topics that were covered were of great personal interest.
Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be composed of random and abstract lines or shapes.
While these absent-minded drawings may seem like a distraction, doodling in class is actually beneficial to students. Doodling improves memory, relieves stress, and increases focus.
Learners of Classes 4 and 5 were introduced to the art of doodling which helped them to remember information, fills in gaps in their thinking, and provides a much-needed reprieve from the loads of information they must wade through.
