TOPIC
1: Town planning and Artifacts of the Harappan Civilization.
Objectives:
The purpose of this study is as follows:
a.
It will help
students to understand the importance of artifacts as a source for studying
ancient civilizations.
b.
Students will appreciate the town planning of Harappan Civilization and can
compare it with the modern towns and
cities.
c.
It will create awareness on the kind of life people led then.
Methodology:
a.
Visit the
Harappan section of the National Museum in Delhi
b.
Reading a story called ‘Footloose in the City’ from
the collection of stories called ‘The Forbidden Temple’ (Refer to sources) and list out the features and
characteristics of the protagonist’s lifestyle and city
c.
Surf the net and can get the details about the
Harappan civilization.
d.
Each team member should select any one object from the Harappan context,
and ask each other about their object. Some sample questions given below.
Ø What is the material out of which the
object is made?
Ø What are the different ways in which
these objects could be used?
Ø How did one find out about the uses
of the object? (Was it by comparing it with other objects, or by asking people etc?)
Ø What does the object tell about the lifestyle
of the person who used it?
This activity would help the students to
understand how archeologists and historians look at objects in different ways
to extract information from them.
Following is the list of material remains
you may choose from:
- Beads and jewelry
- Sculptures and figurines
- Tools and equipments
- Seals and weights
- Pottery and utensils
The artifacts can be analyzed keeping the
following points in mind-
*
The description of the artifact
*
Where the materials have come from?
*
What might have they been used for?
*
How could experts have found out information about
its utility?
*
What specific details does it give about the
Harappan culture?
Presentation
- In the form of an exhibition, the students
could create ‘An ancient Harappan market’. Stalls could be set up in the
site of the exhibition and the artifacts that the students have
collected\studied could be displayed as things that are sold in the
market. The market could include a workshop for the production of seals
too. The students could also dress up like the Harappans and pretend to be
shopkeepers, merchants,
traders, artisans, musicians, peasants (who have come to sell their
grains) and town dwellers. A barter system could be shown. This exhibition
could also be put up around the model of the miniature city made by the students
using cardboards, wooden planks, sand etc. alternatively, Lego blocks can
also be used to make the model.
- The students can make presentation in the form
of a Power Point report, based on the research work done.
Assessment
The total marks allotted for the project
will be 20 marks. The following are the methods and criteria for evaluation:
Each student will get marks individually

Topic
2: Mahabharata through a Readers eye
How have local beliefs
interacted, shaped and been influenced by other ‘greater traditions’ to form
different versions and stories of the Mahabharata and how this epic has been
projected through various forms.
Objectives:
Ø It
will help the students to understand how the great epic Mahabharata, as an oral
tradition, was transmitted from generation to generation.
Ø It
will help them to become aware of the fact that when societies meet with each
other, they combine and interact in order to form new traditions in societies.
Ø It
will help them to explore how this epic has been portrayed in different ways
across the country in different forms.
Ø It
will help them appreciate the fact that the Mahabharata was not written by one
person, but was an oral tradition, reflected in cultures across the
subcontinent in various forms like dance, music, stories, paintings etc.
Ø Students
will learn to critically analyze the position, and status of women during that
period.
Ø Students
will also be able to understand and evaluate the growth and development of the
varna system prevalent at that time.
Methodology:
1.
Students can interview their parents, grandparents, relatives
and other people in their locality to know about their
stories/sources/perceptions of Mahabharat & social and political life of
the people Mahabharat.
2.
Next, in groups of four or five, the students should share
and discuss their ideas & findings. If the class consists of children from
different regions, then those with similar findings and region can be grouped
together. During the discussion, the students could focus on questions like:
*
Which story did the respondent choose to narrate and why?
*
Had you heard this story before?
*
Was this a common story that is prevalent all over India? Or
was it different?
*
Did the story include things/places/temples/structures/people/practices
that are closely related to your locality or situated close to it?
*
How did the respondent feel about the characters of the Mahabharat?
Do they feel their actions were justified?
3.
The next step would be to find out about an art-form that
reflects stories from the Mahabharata. For instance, the Indian classical
dances have items portraying scenes from the epic. Pandavani from Jharkhand and
Yakshagana from Karnataka are two examples of traditional theatre forms that
depict tales from the epic. Besides this, each nook and corner of the country
has a temple or site with paintings and sculptures related to the Mahabharata.
In quite a few cases, the local deity is identified with a principal deity.
Students could find the information from books and the internet; or, if there
is an art form that is prevalent in the locality itself, it would be highly
advisable that the students talk to the locals about their experience, interact
with the artists and visit a workshop/site/performance. The students should be
divided into groups according to the form of art they investigated. Thus, each
group should focus on any one art form: paintings, sculptures, dances, songs or
theatre etc. In these groups, the students have to compile their findings, do
some research if necessary, and discuss and interpret the findings (keeping in
mind the objective of writing a report).
4.
Preparation for the reader’s theatre can only be started when
all the students have submitted the project report. For the reader’s theatre,
the students have to prepare their own script.
*
It should include a part for each student.
*
It could include sound effects, (preferably drums and other
instruments played by the students themselves) and songs.
*
You could look up the internet for further guidelines.
Basically, the script should include various local stories to show the
interspersing of traditions and songs and props reflecting the discussed art
forms.
5.
After the script has been made, each student should be
instructed to prepare his or her own speech, which should not exceed 5 minutes.
Presentation:
1.
In the form of theatrical play or in any other dance art form
(may seek help from Mr. Nair).
2.
Spontaneous speeches can also be a part of presentation.
3.
Panel discussion by students can also be presented.
Assessment
Students should be
assessed base on their participation in the discussions held in their groups.

Topic
5: Depiction of Life during Mughal period through Paintings.
Objectives:
This
project will help to:
1.
familiarize the students with the various aspects of the
Mughal Empire such as administration, court proceedings, domestic life, life of
commoners, war and trade etc.
2.
understand the ways and means by which the emperors tried to
shape and disseminate ideas that they wanted the people to believe in.
3.
comprehend the relations between various players in the
empire- the state, the merchants, the peasants, the Sufi saints, the
neighboring empires, poets and artists etc.
Methodology:
1.
This project could be presented in the form of an exhibition
at the end. Each student could be assigned a particular sub-topic eg. political
life or social-norms, or cultural scene, through miniature paintings.
2.
Each student should first try and identify all the miniature
paintings related to their sub-topic from the text book and beyond and then
move on to scrutinizing them. Their descriptions should be written down with
emphasis on the colors, patterns and activity portrayed.
3.
These observations should be combined with information from
other types of sources like the internet etc and with inferences drawn from
discussions with experts (if possible). At the end, the student could produce a
concise write-up about their subtopic, constantly giving examples from
paintings. Emphasis should be given on how these paintings must have impacted
people.
4.
After this, an exhibition could be put up.
Presentation:
Students would be
evaluated based on three things:
1.
Group topic: The work of each group would be evaluated
separately. The choice of paintings, inferences drawn and interpretation and
presentation would be judged.
2.
Contribution to the exhibition: Each group would also be evaluated
on the basis their contribution and efficiency and involvement while putting up
the final exhibition
3.
Individual presentation: Every student should present and
explain a part of the section that his/her group is in charge of.

TOPIC
6: How
the Partition in 1947 was not just a division of territory but also a division
of hearts and how it affected the common people.
Objectives:
This project will make
students of this generation aware of the reasons, processes, decisions involved
in the partition of our country and the consequences of this tragic phenomenon.
The purpose of this project would be to supplement and deepen this understanding
of the partition.
Ø It
will help the students empathize and look at this event from the eyes of those
who experienced it and were affected by it.
Ø It
will enable them to understand and comprehend the hardships borne by the people
during partition
Ø It
will help students critically analyze the importance of the experiences of
people as a source for rebuilding the past
Ø It
will familiarize them with the perceptions to people about the partition today
Methodology:
As a part of their holiday
assignment, the students could be asked to read/watch one or more of the books
mentioned in the Sources section of the textbook. They could also go through
the anecdotes in the textbook (even the Political Science textbook- Indian
Politics since Independence has anecdotes in the first chapter itself)
1.
Data Collection
Each student can ask their
grandparents or other elders about their experiences of Partition. Questions
such as the following could be asked:
v Where
were you living and what were you doing (school/college student, employed,
married etc.) when the Partition took place?
v Were
you required to migrate? Or were you in a locality from where others migrated
and then new people came?
v Share
some experiences related to Partition was it a period full of violence and
riots?
v What
were the different changes that partition brought about?
v What
do you feel about it today?
The students should note that these
are just some examples of questions that could be asked. They are free to
innovate and come up with their own questions. Also, open ended questions
should be asked so that the respondents can freely express themselves and
emotionally connect to their narration if possible. The experiences should be
meticulously recorded (use the recorder in your mobile phone).
- After this each
student could prepare a set of three to five questions about how
individuals relate to the Partition and what they think of it today (do
run he questions past your teacher). This survey like study could be
carried out in the locality or it could also be done in schools. The
reasons behind a person’s opinion should also be noted. Again, people from
different communities could be consulted so as to get a complete picture (
talk to at least 10 people).
- After this
primary researching, the students should discuss the findings. A group
leader would speak about the gist of a discussion and the inferences drawn
from it.
- Based on
these findings, the students could either write a report or a story
individually.
- Simultaneously,
the group could decide on one or two anecdotes and make a script for a
play.
Presentation:
The report that the
students submit should be concise & well organized. Interviews can be
recorded and played by the students for a better impact in both types of
presentations.
As for the play/skit,
students can experiment with props and costumes as well. The skit could include
songs and poems (if possible).
