to change the world. Let’s not fear change; embrace it. Life is all about moving
on, accepting changes and looking forward to what makes us more adaptable and
stronger.

looked forward to by children when they can go beyond academics but let’s not
make it a challenging situation clouded with the gloominess of Corona
Pandemic. So, embark on a journey of fun and adventure by reading books,
exercising, meditating, dancing and channelizing your energy in a positive
manner. In addition, maintain the momentum and rigour that has been built in
the learning through the last few weeks. Plan out and complete the holiday

• Each interdisciplinary project is based on a Sustainable Development Goal, the number and name of which
has been mentioned in the Google Form for submission.
• All sub-parts of the interdisciplinary project are compulsory to attempt.

English activity for Integrated Project on ‘Global Warming’
Glaciers are melting, oceans are rising, forests are dying and wildlife is struggling to stay alive. It is crystal
clear that we, humans, have majorly been responsible for the past century’s global warming by powering
our modern lives and in turn releasing greenhouse gases. Keeping ‘Global Warming and Climate Change’
under check is our collective responsibility and in order to make our actions and efforts effective and
sustainable, we need to understand our Mother Earth inside out.
Here’s an activity for you to feel and express yourself as the Earth or a part of it.
• Write an ILLUSTRATED AUTOBIOGRAPHY as any one of the following (not more than 250 words)
Troubled Earth or Desperate Ocean or Confused Rain
• Give a suitable title.
• Mention “SDG-13-Climate Change” in your writing or illustration.
Here’s an example of how you can start as “Troubled Earth” - I have been referred as Mother Earth, beautiful
and bountiful, kind and generous. Lately, however, things have been very difficult for me………..
