Lesson Summary

The percentage is essential in life. However, many people do not realize its application in their daily
life. We have 30 students. The teacher will prepare the things to sell. We ask them to divide
themselves into 6 groups. 3 group of buyers and 3 group of sellers. The sellers will decide the
price and the discount percentage of the products. The buyers have to decide which group
offers the lowest price with minimal guidance from the teacher. The idea is the student can
learn to choose the best price for the same product from different sellers.
We will ask each group of buyers to decide their choice and present their reasons. Then we
evaluate and explain if there is a mistake. After that they will switch the position and do the
same procedure. They will repeat the same procedure until they have a better understanding
about the topic

Plan outline:
The Christ church school is situated at the bank of the river Cooum. The river Cooum has lost its
original image and is no more a place for the nature lovers. Students from Class VII decide to
work on the issue and propose plan of action.
Students are divided into 3 groups and guided to make a comparative study of the properties and
features of 2 rivers across the 2 Indian states: River Cooum in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and river
Periyar in Cochin, Ernakulam, Kerala. Collaboration with students of the Choice High School of
Ernakulam, Kerala is made for this project. Students of both schools exchange information and
notes regarding the issue of river pollution and its impact through email and a planned interactive
activity.
A field trip is arranged to the location of the Rivers Cooum and Periyar. Students collect water
samples and hand over to the Water analysis Dept. to conduct its analysis - in terms of
temperature, dissolved oxygen and bacterial growth. Causes of water pollution in river Cooum
are analyzed. Effects of water pollution are discussed -The impact on human health is seen in
high incidence of Diseases, typhoid, cholera, and jaundice. An interview is arranged with a
doctor for the same. Findings are discussed and presented in a multimedia project A newsletter
is created to trace the history of river Cooum and compare it with its present condition. Students
understand that this present condition has been brought about by man’s negligence and discuss
through a website a plan of action including control measures and steps to be taken in the city to
prevent further water pollution; the role of WAMP (Citizens' Waterways Monitoring Programme),
