Suggestions for Project Work:
The Project can be inter-disciplinary in theme. The ideas/issues highlighted in the
chapters/
Poems/ drama given the prescribed books can also be developed in the form of a
project.
Students can also take up any relevant and age-appropriate theme.
Such topics may be taken up that provide students with opportunities for listening
and speaking.
Some suggestions are as follows:
a) Interview-Based research:
Example:
Students can choose a topic on which to do their research/ interview, e.g. a student
can choose the
Topic: “Evolving food tastes in my neighbourhood” or “Corona pandemic and the
fallout on families.”
Read the available literature.
The student then conducts interviews with a few neighbours on the topic. For an
interview, with the
Help of the teacher, student will frame questions based on the preliminary
research/background.
The student will then write an essay/ write up / report etc. up to 1000 words on
his/her research and
Submit it. He/ She will then take a viva on the research project. The project can be
done in individually
Or in pairs/ groups
b) Students listen to podcasts/ interviews/radio or TV documentary on a topic and
prepare a report
Countering or agreeing with the speakers. Write an 800 – 1000 words report and
submit. Take a viva on
The report.
c) Students create their own video/ Audio, after writing a script. Before they
decide a format, the following
Elements can be taken into consideration:
Theme/topic of the audio / video. Would the child like to pick a current issue or
something artistic like
Theatre?
What are the elements that need to be part of the script?
Will the video/audio have an interview with one or more guests?
Would they prefer to improvise while chatting with guests, or work from a script?
What would be the duration?
How would they present the script/report to the teacher, e.g. Can it be in the form of
a narrative?
d) Students write, direct and present a theatrical production, /One act play
This will be a project which will be done as a team. It will involve planning, preparation
and presentation.
