Session 2 - Play

We got 20 new registrations for this session, which brought our total to around 85, so our first step was to find another place to conduct the sessions. After deciding on the terrace, we tried an interesting new way to keep things slightly more quiet - 1 minute of complete silence. Every single student rose to the challenge.

Now our next step was to separate all the students into groups. To do this, we went over all the drawings from the previous class. We asked the following questions, "How many of your creatures have more or less than 2 eyes?", "How many of you drew animals with tails?", "How many of your drawings have more than 3 legs?", and "How many of you drew tongues or trunks?" This allowed us to divide the students into 4 groups of around 20 students each. They sat in rows according to their groups. We then walked down the rows looking for the most interesting drawings, and once we found the representative drawing for each group, we used it to name that group. The names that emerged are: Starbird, Flying Snake, Bat Power and Kingidora.

We then held a quiz on last week's nature trail. We asked the different groups questions like, "What animal tells you that the soil is fertile?", "Name 2 animals you saw with lots of legs", "What is the difference between plants and fungi?", etc. The groups were all awarded points - 10 for a correct answer for your question, 5 for a correct answer for a passed question and 0 for an incorrect answer.

In the end, the battle for first was between Bat Power and Star Bird. The final frontier was the most difficult question of them all - "Which plant did we observe reproduces with spores instead of seeds?". It took a minute, but after a while we heard the answer from team Bat Power - FERNS!!

And that was that.

After the quiz, we asked if anyone made interesting artwork with the leaves they collected last week. We had three students from Star Bird, Bat Power and Kingidora show us the most awesome leaf art. They each won 30 points for their teams.

At the end of session 2, Bat Power emerged victorious with 80 points.

Designing a curriculum/ lesson plan for someone who knows nothing about designing a curriculum/ lesson plan

This process was a little daunting for me in the beginning. I don't have much experience in education and absolutely none in designing curriculums. When I got accepted to do the YouCAN Earth Educators Fellowship, and got invited to Tamil Nadu for the initiation workshop, I was certain that I'd be expected to have something of a plan in place. But all I had was a list of activities that I thought would be a fun integration of nature and waste.  Then we went for the workshop, which was easily one of the best experiences of my life. And for my curriculum, it taught me one thing - structure is important. If anything, it's important to have structure so you know how to break it.  When I left from the workshop, I had one day in Mysore to myself. And that was the first thing I did. Thought about structure. What does it mean? And also, instead of reinventing the wheel, would it be possible to take inspiration from any other well designed programmes?  That's when it hit me - use...

Vermicomposting Session 2

Image
This week, we decided that the vermicompost pit was more suited to another location. This pit had a mud base. As mentioned in my previous blog, the vermicompost pit has to have a solid base. Since this one did not, we had to search for something we could use that would prevent the worms from burrowing into the soil. And the best, most convenient answer? Plastic!  Repurposed, of course.  So we went on a hunt for any old flex we could find around the school. Sure enough, we found a huge sheet just near the school building. So we folded it in half and added it to the base of our pit.    Our next step was to transfer the coconut shells ('sonna' in Konkani) from the old pit to the new one. So we took our cement bags and collected the shells...    ..and then placed them face-down in the new pit. This is the base layer of the pit. The next layer is a mixture of dried leaves and cow dung slurry. To start, we collected dried leaves from the schoolyard, and placed th...

Session 4 - Observe

Image
This session was at a completely different pace than normal. Lots of the Eco-Club members had to go for hockey practice, so we had a small class of 6 to work with. The idea for this session was to build on the planting session last week in a fun and engaging way. We wanted to plan a session around what can be found in a garden environment, to learn about what's good for the plants we grow and what isn't.  Before the session, we had a chat within our small circle - Why did you join the Eco-Club?, What do you like about nature? We had the chance to have a much more candid conversation considering the smaller number. We got to learn that Mohammad S. and Valencio both catch snakes. Valencio said that he doesn't like that his parents kill snakes when they catch them, and he tells them not to, but they don't listen. Mohammad also grows vegetables in his house. So far he's grown turmeric in his kitchen garden. He had 2 coconuts in his bag to give to his friend for Dussehra...
