SOCIAL SCIENCEHISTORY: “Nationalism is a cruel epidemic of evil that is sweeping over the human world of the present age,” ― Rabindranath Tagore Chapter 2: Nationalism in India At the onset of the chapter on nationalism in India, students engaged in a role-playing simulation of a historical event, such as a meeting of the Indian National Congress or a protest against British policies. They were encouraged to assume different roles, immersing themselves in the perspectives and motivations of various stakeholders. This interactive activity aimed to capture students' interest from the outset and provide a tangible context for understanding key concepts such as colonialism, resistance, and identity. The educator emphasized that by immersing themselves in the simulation, students would develop a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics of historical events and the diverse array of viewpoints involved. Through embodying the experiences of individuals from the nationalist movement era, students cultivated empathy and honed critical thinking skills as they grappled with the challenges and decisions encountered by their assigned characters. Subsequent discussions allowed students to reflect on the significance of their roles and consider broader implications for India's quest for independence. This immersive experience served as a compelling introduction, paving the way for deeper exploration into the impact of nationalism on Indian society and its enduring legacy.

Subsequently, attention turned to a comprehensive case study analysis, featuring Sri Lanka and Belgium, meticulously elucidated through a visually engaging PowerPoint presentation. By delving into the unique socio-political contexts of these nations, students gained valuable insights into the diverse manifestations of power-sharing mechanisms. Central to the discourse were the foundational concepts of accommodation and majoritarianism, elegantly illustrated through a meticulously crafted flowchart. This visual aid served as a pedagogical tool to facilitate conceptual clarity, enabling students to grasp the nuances of these pivotal concepts with precision and depth. Through this multifaceted approach, students were not only equipped with a nuanced understanding of power-sharing dynamics but were also encouraged to critically evaluate real-world scenarios and engage in thoughtful dialogue. By fostering a culture of inquiry and analysis, this chapter laid the groundwork for students to navigate complex socio-political landscapes with acumen and insight. SDG-16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions ECONOMICS Chapter: Development During this chapter on development, students embarked on a comparative journey among countries, analyzing various facets of their socio-economic landscapes. They were prompted to reflect on their understanding of nations and encouraged to discern differences and similarities across a spectrum of parameters. In a bid to foster introspection, students were prompted to articulate their personal aspirations and goals. Through an activity emphasizing the theory of "Different people and different goals," they were tasked with delineating both short-term and long-term objectives for their lives. This exercise not only encouraged self-reflection but also facilitated an appreciation of the diversity in individual ambitions among peers. The notion of development was explored comprehensively, encompassing a range of domains pertinent to societal progress. Through illustrative examples, the class delved into the multifaceted nature of development, dissecting its parameters and discerning disparities between developed and developing nations. By engaging in critical analysis and reflection, students gained a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the pursuit of development. Through comparative analysis and personal introspection, they were empowered to navigate their own aspirations within the broader context of societal progress.

MathIn the ever-evolving landscape of mathematics, certain branches stand out as pillars of understanding and problem-solving. One such dynamic duo is trigonometry and circles. As we delve into the realms of revision and application, we uncover the profound impact these mathematical concepts have on both theoretical understanding and real-world scenarios. Revision of Trigonometry and its application: In November month, students recall and revisit all the topics of trigonometry and its application to strengthen their basics and calculation skills while dealing with ratio, angles, conversion and identities. Revision of Circles: In this month students also worked on integration of circles and trigonometric topics. The concept of radians, an alternative angle measurement system based on the radius of a circle, further solidifies the connection between circles and trigonometry. It allows for a seamless integration of circular motion concepts into trigonometric functions, providing a more natural and intuitive framework.

In an effort to understand the value of freedom, students also came up with improvised scenes that depicted the challenges Indians faced before gaining independence. This experience really helped them better understand and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom. It is because of these valiant individuals that we enjoy our freedom today VISUAL ARTStudents were introduced to Sanjhi art, which is a folk art of Uttar Pradesh.
