An international activity was executed by Social Science department
of M.A.P.S for class-VII. ISA project titled ‘Food around the World’ was
introduced in the mid of August. This project served as a lavish spread which tickled the taste-buds of the students with pot-full
of knowledge. In
the first activity ‘World Platter’, students prepared Food Court Puzzle Boxes
of the respective country- Norway, India & South Africa- allotted to them. The activity ‘Food Court Puzzle Box’ was the
appetizer to the sumptuous meal. Boxes with Placards
containing pictures and information on staple food, popular dish made by staple
food, popular dish prepared during celebration, climatic and geographical
conditions required for that staple food, were prepared and placed in the box.
Classes
exchanged their boxes and observed the information given in the boxes and
filled up Compare & Contrast sheet and placed them in the box as well. The learners savoured the experience as they
feasted intellectually on the similarities and differences of the cuisines
based on their geographical positions and growth in different seasons of the
given countries.
It was a thundering
success as the students flooded with excellent attempts to answer all the
questions given in compare & contrast sheet.
They also
presented the information in the form of Power point presentations which were
uploaded on Youtube.
For another row of main course of the project,
the children prepared e-brochures. Each group prepared an e-brochure giving information of food
and meal time customs of all the three countries.
The e-brochures were uploaded on You tube. The dessert was sweet and lingering with
international flavour.
