Students continued their research on explorers of their choice and created a timeline listing the important events in an explorer’s life using the app – ‘ReadWriteThink’ Timeline. Further, through a class discussion they listed the reasons of land, sea and space explorations and also demonstrated an understanding of some of the common reasons for exploration in land/sea/space. Some students created crossword puzzles while others plotted a timeline of important events in an explorer’s life to display an understanding of the first line of inquiry ‘Explorations and discoveries through time.’ Students explored the spatial aspect of Math as they learnt about Cartesian co-ordinates. They practised plotting graphs, identifying and marking pairs of co-ordinates on graph paper. They realised Math can be fun while playing the Battleship game – a real life application of co-ordinates! They revised their reports and rewrote them using 5 steps of writing. Students tuned into biography as a genre of writing by stating the differences and similarities between biography and autobiography using a Venn diagram. They will be writing biographies of explorers after understanding the essential elements of biographies. Students had discussions in Hindi class about exploration on mountains and different parts of earth.

They created their own questions based on the video about her life and journey of success.
