-A session in two series, that introduces a dynamic, upcoming field of study called Family history. -Here kids are exposed to thought processes that they carry forward in life to understand how ideas and practices change with evolving times in our world. -We spend time with our own cultural histories that get lost with passing generations. -We look at challenges and struggles of our own ancestral past, and understand how they shape our shifting lifestyles(economic, professional, cultural).
-Learn how to gather information through visual references around us. -Create a foundation for comparing and analysing shifts in world practices. -Become more thoughtful, sensitive and observant of our own life experiences. - Articulate and express ideas in new, creative and informative ways.
- Trajectory of the series follows a systematic buildup of themes: To introduce an idea first, then delving deeper, followed by exploring sub-ideas that are connected, to finally creating original thought around learnings. - Learnings are spread between in-class time and after-class time to give breath and space for learners to absorb and apply what they learn - After the first session, learners will be working on small projects like gathering stories, selecting archives in their homes for a game we play in second lesson of the series, etc. - During the second session, all learnings are connected and build on the foundational knowledge we created during the first session.
Building our own family tree Write a journal-like enquiry Narrate real life stories Make a postable Postcard
- Study of Family history and World Culture is increasingly included in new age curriculums. - It brings historic, social, economical and cultural fields of study together and helps learners create a strong foundation that fosters clear thinking and expression of ideas. - This happens by finding ways to relate to a given information, and thus form critical ways of analysing and articulating them.
