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.
