PROJECT WORK

Suggestions for Project Work:

 The Project can be inter-disciplinary in theme. The ideas/issues highlighted in the chapters/
poems/ drama given in the prescribed books can also be developed in the form of a project.
 Students can also take up any relevant and age-appropriate theme.

a) Interview-Based research:
Example:
 Students can choose any topic for 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 students to conduct an interview with a few neighbours on the selected topic.
 For an interview, 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.

b) Students will 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.

c) Students will write, direct and present a theatrical production, /One act play. It will involve
planning, preparation and presentation. In short, various language skills will be utilised. There will be
researching, discussion, writing the script, auditioning and ultimately producing the play.
