The activity I have planned is helping the shy learners with class involvement. Subject activity FOOD FESTIVAL from the ICT BOOK (Intel Tech Program Skill of Success Grade 4 ) page no.117 had been arranged keeping in view the course contents and for the better learning of students to related multiple factors including investment and profit loss for enhancing the interest. Total 24 numbers of students participated and are divided into eight groups and each group comprises of 3 members. The learners did the planning according to their curriculum pattern (Cycle of Creation i.e. Plan it, Do it, Review it and Share it this is very close to KOLB’S CYCLE. Before planning I took an oral session about festivals as their brainstorming and formative assessment. The food sale organized by the student for the school and last was the profit /loss analysing and presenting the data to all groups. They present their all experiences through power point presentations. (ICT Integration) 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• To collaborate learners with their fellows while working out of the class rooms within the resources.
•  To develop the ICT skills to design posters, banners for their stalls.(ICT integration with critical thinking)
•   To estimate  the concept of investments and profits.(Analytical vision)
• To promote Project Based Learning.
• To catered V.A.K and involve the shy learners.
•  To synthesize something out of their knowledge (blooms taxonomy).
• To increase in their confidence levels and their sense of self-worth also enhance self-actualizing individuals with improved inter-personal skills.

Role of teacher:

• Conducted interactive sessions
• Facilitator for all learners especially shy and slow learners..
• Provide the appropriate environment for learning.
• Assess and evaluate students’ abilities (strengths and weaknesses).
•  Maintaining discipline
• Motivating  pupils with enthusiastic, imaginative presentation

Practical Professional outcomes which I experienced in planning, preparing and using this activity

Most of the students understood the activity well and were able to present their outcomes in presentation form. The activity catered V.A.K , and the learners were able to synthesize something out of their knowledge(blooms taxonomy). The learners collaborated very well and they were well planned and organised even out of their classroom. They showed creativity by producing Banners, posters for their stalls. Summative assessment was taken from the students. 

Use of kitchen waste for biogas production

Overview

Project was initiated by the ICT section to integrate students' activity with one of the most burning issue of the developing countries i. e. use of Supplementary fuel source rather than the conventional source. This could be cheap and available as well as environment friendly.

Steps  involve

•        Collection of kitchen waste.
•       Sorting of waste material suitable for production of bio gas.
•      Grinding and Pouring of the material in containers.
• Collection of gas into rubber tube.Use of collected gas as kitchen fuel to coo  Remaining waste of bio gas to be used as organic fertilizer.

    Humans content are directly proportional to energy use . In the present scenario voices of climate change and global rising from every continent of the world. Pakistan meets its 80% energy demand from import. Due to rise of population and prices per ca pita availability decreasing day by day. So in present scenario, struggle to safe the environment as well as harvest the resource on sustainable basis is key to success. Approximately more than 80% Pakistani cook their food at homes. So we can partially fulfill the energy demand by using kitchen waste to bio gas and can generate hygienic conditions for humans.  

 Objectives

• To develop the sustainable system (Practical experiment along with theoretical knowledge in classroom).
• To determine facts & figures to reduce the energy crises in country and to implicate by the students.
• To develop the technical resource as well as sustainable system (bio gas plant).
