Lesson plan: Finding out about India
From The Clothes Line online resource
Age group: 7 - 11
Aims:
To give children an opportunity to find out basic information about
India.
To develop reading and discussion skills through a quiz.
What to do:
Photocopy the India Quiz so that you
have enough for each pair of pupils to share one.
As a class, ask children to brainstorm all the words that come
to mind when they think about India. Write down everything they
say and explain that brainstorming means coming up with as many
ideas as possible in a short time. Write all ideas down without
rejecting any.
Now give each pair of pupils the India Quiz sheet. After they have
completed the quiz, come together again as a group and go through
the answers. The teacher may wish to add extra information from
the answers. As a class, discuss what information and ideas the
children already had about India. (Many images are shaped by television
reports, newspapers, holidays and travel brochures, etc.) Now go
back to the brainstorm. What have they learnt about India? What
has surprised them most?
