KWL chart in class 8 - Sunel (Diniyat)

Teacher's reflections: Before starting the lesson regarding "Misr (Egypt)" I asked the students to prepare a KWL chart and instructed them how to prepare it. Each student made the chart individually in their own notebooks. First I instructed them to write 'What I KNOW about Misr' then I instructed to make other column and write 'What I WANT to know about 'Misr' and after completing the lesson next day I asked them to make 3rd column and write 'What I LEARNED about 'Misr'.

It was a success as all the leaning for those 2 days were interesting and many WANTs were answered. For some of them WANTs I asked them to search them on internet / library.

Group Activity: Team comprehension questions - Class 8 - Sunel (Diniyat)

Teacher's reflections: First I made 4 groups of 5 students in each group. Grouping was done on the base of their birthday months. Students were then given instructions for the activity as follows:
1. They were suppose to read the text given individually
2. Then they had to discuss in the group and clarify their doubts
3. Each students were asked to frame 2 clarifying questions and/or open ended questions regarding the text (10 question per group)
4. They had to record all the questions on a piece of paper
5. Then the papers were exchanged with other groups which they have to try to solve those questions.
6. Those group who answered most of the questions will be rewarded.

The activity went well. I had planned this activity for 1 period but answering the questions of other group was not done due to time constraint, so I took the question papers from each group and didn't disclosed the following part. Next day I exchanged the papers and instructed them to answer them and informed that those group who will answer most of the questions correctly will be rewarded. This came up as a surprise for them  and created interest in comprehending the text.

Lisan ud Dawah - A'ama ane Muq'ad (The Blind & Deaf), Class 3rd, Diniyat Dept. Suwasra.

The activity consists of reading the text and finding new words and their meanings. And to understand the moral theme of the lesson.
