INNOVATIVE LESSON PLAN  15/1/2025  On January 15, 2025, I used an innovative teaching approach to explain the topic of Carbon to Standard 9 students. Instead of traditional methods, I incorporated literature-based techniques such as role play, poetry, and storytelling to make the lesson more engaging.

The lesson was a resounding success, with students actively participating and showing heightened interest in the subject. By blending artistic expression with scientific principles, students were able to experience carbon in a way that deepened their understanding. This approach reinforced my belief that integrating differ...

Every creation was unique, yet all carried the same essence—harmony, optimism, perseverance, and envisioning a better self, the very themes that had guided us over these days. As we stepped ...
