Project Work ideas for 6th, 7th and 8th classes for Formative Assessment (FA) 

         Here I would love to share this information with you. When I discuss with my friend, Mr. Venumadhav SA English,  it is found as a good idea to make use it as a project for the class 8 English for formative assessment (FA). It would be absolutely a fantastic idea to engage the children to learn the language and learn their family as well. 

               The first unit of class 8 English is based on the theme, "family." The entire unit deals with theme, the family. Usually children will be enthusiastic and energetic in learning new things. So as to make the children engaged and learned we decided to give a project connecting their own families. It has made the children feel proud of themselves to learn about their families. They participated in the project curiously and found the information exactly taking the help of their elders in the family. And even they have taken the help of their friends in organizing the information collected. Finally they are asked to write a report on it. They have done happily and presented proudly.

               The question goes like this ....

Peacock the national bird

        I love peacock. It looks like a big cock but has beautiful feathers on its tail. I like the feathers having beautiful colours on them. Sometimes the peacock dances spreading its tail beautifully in a fan shape. The peacock's tail is also called a train and contains up to 175 feathers. The peacock usually lives in small forests. Sometimes in the summer they come into our village to get some water. It has two and and a crown on its head that makes it more beautiful. The peacock eats fruit, berries, grains, ants, flower petals and plants. 

        Our country, India, has chosen the peacock as the National Bird. It is a crime to hunt the bird. I love the peacock. It's our pride.
