Netizens hail innovative drama-poetry-dance practice to learn concepts
To help children learn is one thing but to make sure that they retain what they have learnt is all together a different story, a report in The Tribune, Chandigarh, says.
A teacher, however, came up with a unique teaching method by coupling textbook learning with a creative activity. A video of schoolchildren rehearsing the meanings of different grammar topics has been doing the rounds on the Internet.
To help the students understand the concept of Hindi nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verbs, the teacher made them enact a play. And what better way to learn than to observe.
In the video shared on Twitter by IAS Arpit Verma, students can be seen practising the concepts of Hindi grammar by singing a song to the tune of ‘Aao bachcho tumhe dikhayein jhanki Hindustan ki’. The lyrics have been replaced to fit the grammar rules.
Line after line, the catchy poetry describes the meaning of the topics with appropriate examples, making the lesson more engaging.
The brilliant, innovative and unconventional way was a hit amongst students as well as they were seen having fun while being in the process of learning.
“Recently I read an editorial in which this type of education was talked about bcz after the traumic pandemic, opening of school students need this type of fun education to heal mentally as well well physically. Hats off to the teacher who did this. N TQ to u sir for sharing!!” commented a Twitter user.
“There should be more teachers like this, whoever is afraid of Hindi grammar, if he studies in this way, he will never forget and he will also be interested in reading. Teacher, thank you very much by joining my hand. Jai Hind Jai Bhim Jai Bharat,” another person commented in Hindi. “Very beautiful and hardworking, proud of the guru with such skill,” another comment read.
