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.

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)

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.
