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.

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. The student will then take a viva on the research project.

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.

Students create their own video/ Audio, after writing a script. Before they decide on 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?
