Concept Introduction- Articles and Determiners- GRADE VII

“Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn.”
~Benjamin Franklin

The students of Grade VII started with the topic of Articles and Determiners through a ‘Describe the Picture’ activity. A list of words was written on the board and they worked in a group to describe the picture they had, using words from the list. Without even being aware of the types of determiners, they were able to identify a few types, based on the usage of the words in sentences. After the activity was completed, they read aloud the sentences and self-correction and peer correction was done. This activity helped them to understand the concept better as they understood usage before rules.
