After you have finished your paragraph affix your photo on the sheet and display it on the wall. Read each other’s paragraphs.
Did you understand someone else better after you had read what he/she wrote?
Answer:
I enjoy peace. Everyday I take time to sit and get a me-time. I do this on the terrace in the evening or in the nearby park in the morning. Doing so, I do not use my earphones or mobile or anything.
In the morning, I just look at the birds flying around and the sun in the sky. I enjoy the sound of the birds chirping and the leaves rustling against each other because of the peaceful breeze.
In the evening, I look at the stars and try to find out shapes they make.
Yes, the notes on the wall helped me to understand my friends better when I read what they had written.

A. Why does Radha’s mother tell her that it is not suitable for girls to climb trees? Find points to agree with Radha or her mother.
Plan what you will say by making notes like this:
Girls should be able to climb trees if they wish
1. ———————————————————————————————————
2. ———————————————————————————————————
3. ———————————————————————————————————
Girls should not be allowed to climb trees
1. ———————————————————————————————————
2. ———————————————————————————————————
3. ———————————————————————————————————
Now divide the class into two groups. Present to the rest of the class the opinion of Radha who thinks there is no harm in girls climbing trees and of her mother who thinks girls should not do this.
Answer: In my opinion,
Girls should be able to climb trees if they wish
1. Girls should be given a chance to do whatever they wish to.
2. Stopping girls from climbing a tree is an example of the patriarchal society where girls are considered inferior to boys.
3. Change comes from small steps. Avoiding discrimination between boys and girls at a younger stage is the way to make huge societal changes.
