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 age-appropriate
theme. Such topics may be taken up that provide students with
opportunities for listening and speaking. Some suggestions are as follows:
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
immediate 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 essay on his/her research and submit it.
He / She will then take a viva on the research project. Then this project
can be done individually or in pairs/ groups. Theme/topic of the audio /
video. Would the child like to pick a current issue or something artistic
like theatre? Would they like to include distinct segments within their
show? If so, what kind? What are the elements that need to be part of the
script for the podcast? 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 of the podcast? How
