EnglishThe difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little “extra.” Each Suncitizen tried to put in that little ‘extra’ during their Mid Term Examinations which began in the month of August 2022. They then commenced their journey of furthering their syllabus with the chapter ‘Footprints without Feet’. The introduction to the chapter was given with the reference to a Hollywood movie ‘The Hollow Man’ based on the same theme and the book 'The Invisible Man'. The story was read, explained and discussion of character analysis, elements of the story, the morality of the protagonist [Value Education Integration] because of which he was categorized into a brilliant scientist and but a lawless person was done. [SDG 3: Good health and well-being] The students were then explained the techniques to attempt HOTS and value-based questions. The concept of the poem 'Amanda!' was initialized with reflective discussion on parent child relationship. The students gave vast insight about their personal lives. The poet and the poem were then introduced to the students and after a thorough explanation of the contents of the poem, the learners were able to develop a philosophical approach to this most important relationship of human existence. [Integration: Philosophy] Elements of the poem, its rhyme scheme, significance of the repetition of the name Amanda after each line, tone, theme, message, literary devises, Q&A, etc. were discussed. The students were eager to read the story titled, ‘Mijbil the Otter’ being unusual in name. They were introduced to the story by a class discussion where all shared their views on owning unusual pets, their pros and cons. [SDG 15: Life on Land] They were excited to learn that the species in the story was named Maxwell's otter after the author Gavin Maxwell. The chapter was read, difficult vocabulary understood and pronounced, and NCERT exercises done. The students began the next story by discussing how curiosity among children leads to various discoveries. 'Madam Rides the Bus' was read with much interest and inquisitiveness and the chapter took its time to complete while the students discussed among themselves how things happen around us without our knowledge and how life teaches in its own time about life and death [SDG 3: Good health and well-being]. The story was brought to conclusion with the discussion of value-based Q&A and the question in the CBSE question bank. The 'Making of a Scientist' invoked the interest among students to know more about Richard Ebright being a fairly young scientist who made a science breakthrough with his cell theory. The students viewed for themselves the images of Monarch and Viceroy butterflies, trying to distinguish between the two. The chapter was then read, understood and exercises done. The educator also tried to motivate the students by highlighting the achievements of the scientist at such a young age and the hard work it necessitated. [Life Skill Integration] Diksha Weblink: https://diksha.gov.in/ncert/play/content/do_31319481201825382412055?contentType=Resource The struggles in the life of the American poet John Berryman, his troubled life due to he as a boy being a witness to his father’s suicide and ultimately he himself committing suicide at the age of 57 moved the students to a better understanding of his famous poem ‘The Ball Poem’. The students understood the emotions involved in the poem of a boy who loses his favourite toy and realizes his sense of responsibility metaphorizing both the boy and his toy with the poet and his father. The students recognized the epistemology of loss, the material world where things would get lost in future and there would be no one to help. [Life Skill Integration] The elements of the poem, the message conveyed by the poet along with Q&A were discussed. Diksha Weblink: https://diksha.gov.in/ncert/play/content/do_313075373947486208110744?contentType=ExplanationResource The learners took a break from literature and practiced their writing skills by understanding the nuances of writing a Formal Letter of Enquiry. A revision of the Formal Letter format (already understood in the past months) was done along with the discussion of the life situations when such letters were necessitated to be written. [Life Skills Integration]. A sample letter was discussed and practice question given. Assessment of Speaking & Listening Skills (ASL): The students appeared for their 'Listening Skill CBSE practical for English' via Audio clip and worksheet. Finally, the month ended with the revision for the Half Yearly Examination via worksheets and MS Forms [IT Integration]. Social ScienceHistory - Chapter- 3- Print Culture and the Modern World The topic Print and its culture, when started, was discussed to recall the previous knowledge of it. The class was taken ahead with the help of a video on printing newspapers and their important role in our daily lives. The students could relate this to the real life situation and developed a better understanding of the concept. Different topics in the chapter were explained with the help of a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDAuhgNHp4 and a PPT. A new term like censorship was introduced to the students. They discussed about the writings of the writers during the 18th and 19th century and the ban on these writings due to reasons like critical opinion of the common people about British and how they brutally exercised their control world wide. After the end of the chapter, questions and answers were discussed. Revision worksheets were assigned and discussed. Civics - Chapter-Democracy and Diversity The chapter was carried forwarded from the last month. Diversity, differences and divisions in the society were explained.Their consequences on the society were explianed with real life examples. The students were asked to analyze the real life scenario where they have observed the differences causing divisions in the society. The effect of the difference and divisions in the politics of India were explained with examples of different political parties and their approch towards ticket distribution during the elections. Chapter-Gender, Religion and Caste The students were asked about the perception of an ideal woman in the different domains of the society. SDG10 Gender Equality and its importance was discussed in order to have a balanced society. Disparity in the wages given to men and women was explained. Government initiatives were explained in order to understand the initiatives and their impact on the society. Revision was done for the Half Yearly examination. Geography- Chapter 4 - Agriculture was taken up with the students. A KWL activity to test prior knowledge revealed interesting information such as crops are polluted, millet are now more expensive than wheat and rice etc. The lesson continued with classification and distribution of crops and the related map work. The children integrated the lesson with SDG1 - Zero poverty and understood more about food security. The Lesson concluded with the creation of a question bank by the student and attempting of a quiz online. SciencePhysics - Chapter : Electricty With the help of prior knowledge the students discusse the basic components of an electric circuit such as key, switch, wire, cell, battery, bulb, etc. Integration with Chemistry: With the help of motion of electrons during the formation of cation and anion, the students understood the meaning of free charge particles which can move and constitute current in the circuit. The students also undertood the mathematical formulae for current and unit of current. After the discussion on current, the students concluded that current is a scaler quantity. They understood how an ammeter should be connected in a circuit to measure the current flowing in a circuit. They also understood the relation between the charge of one electron and the number of electrons in one column. With the help of a real-life example of flow of water, the students understood the concept of potential different and movement of charge particles from higher potential to lower potential and connection of voltmeter in the circuit to meansure the voltage drop across a particular resistor in circuit. With the help of lab activity using mannau connections of components as well as kit, the students observed the change in behaviour of current and potential in a circuit and listed the observations and drew their conclusion on a graph paper. On the basis of this lab activity, the students understood the idea behind Ohm's law. "Curiosity is mother of all inventions" After the lab activity the students were more curious about the resistance of a wire or other compnent so they studied about the factors affecting resistance and drived mathematical relation as well for lentgh of conductor and area of cross-section of wire. On the basis of resistance, the students were able to differentiate between insulators, conductors and semiconductors. With the help of circuit diagrmas, students understood the combination of resistance in series and parallel and practiced the numericals on the combination of resistors in class. Chemistry- Chapter: Metals and Non-Metals With the help of prior knoweldge, the students discussed the physical properties of metals and non-metals. During the discussion, the students listed some of the exception where some physical properties are not applicable. On the basis of several reactions involved in the chapter Chemical equations and reactions and Acids, bases and salts, the students understood the following chemical properties of metals: 1. Reaction of metals with acids and bases 2. Reaction of metals with oxygen (conclusion : metal oxides are basic in nature, there are some metals oxides which show both acidic and basic behaviour known as amphoteric oxides, different metals react in different manner and at different rate with oxygen) 3. Reaction of metals with water (Cold water, hot water and steam): Different metals react with water in different manner- some react with cold water whereas some react with hot water. 4. Reaction of metals with salt solution of other metals (A highly reactive metal can displace a low reactive metal only) 5. Reaction between metals and non-metals to form ionic compound. Electron dot structure of NaCl, MgCl2 etc. 6. Properties of Ionic compounds In addition to the properties, the students also discussed and learnt about the occurance of metals in earth crust and their extraction process from their ores (impure metal form). They learnt the process of roasting, calcination and electrolytic refining to extract metals of low recativity series, medium recativity series, high recativity series respectively. Biology - Chapter: Heredity and Evolution “Genetics is where we come from. It’s deeply natural to want to know.”- Ellen Ullmann Heredity and Evolution are the most essential and fundamental branches of biology and are linked to each other through inheritable traits. In this chapter, the students learnt about the rules of heredity, the mechanism by which variations are created and how the accumulation of these variations leads to evolution. The students researched about Gregor Johann Mendel who is known as the ‘Father of Genetics’ and his work on pea plants to understand the concept of heredity. This helped the students to appreciate the contribution of both Mendel and Darwin in understanding the foundational principles of inheritance. A class activity was held where students were asked to count the number of children with blue and brown eyes in the given class and to reason out the low frequency of blue-eyed children. This activity helped them understand the concept of dominant and recessive traits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWt1RFnWNzk Recapitulation of Half-Yearly Syllabus was done through Google Forms Assessment [IT Integration]. Several Revision Worksheets were practiced to ensure holistic learning of the topics. The class tests were also conducted to prepare the students for the Half Yearly Examinations.
