The innovative work undertaken by me is a newspaper "The Happiness Express". I took the content of a prose "The Trio" and presented it to the students in a novel way. I crafted a newspaper by sticking to the theme and content of the chapter . I crafted such a newspaper by keeping in mind the objectives like information , education, interpretation ,inspiration, providing discussion forum and entertainment. I segmented 6 pages with local news, international news, sports pages, editorial page, and common information . I tried to frame the news paper similar to the structure and pattern of real newspaper. Students have to come forward and read out the newspaper articles, events and have to collaboratively solve the activities included in the newspaper. CLICK HERE TO SEE INNOVATIVE WORK REPORT.   LINK

With the aid of these apps, sir made it easier for us to comprehend the variety of applications that may be incorporated into the field of education, which is currently a necessity. After the lesson, sir instructed us to use GroupWise to create a video using a topic we had chosen from the high school textbooks.

In between, a short duration was dedicated for the celebration of 'Holi' as well. I was a part of the dance program and got good comments over the collective  performance of students.
