ABSTRACTION (DISCUSSION)

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

The Ramayana means the journey of Rama. “Yes, ma’am!”
This is an Indian epic poem. The story was
written by Maharshi Valmiki, a Hindu sage who
lived around the beginning of the first
millennium B.C. He is referred to as the
'adikavi', the original creator of the Hindu 'sloka'
- a verse form in which most of the great epics
such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas,
and other works are composed.
The Ramayana is an ancient Sanskrit. Sanskrit
is an ancient Indo-European language of India,
in which the Hindu scriptures and classical
Indian epic poems are written comprising of
24,000 verses in seven cantos. The epic
contains the teachings of the very ancient Hindu
sages. It is one of the most important literary
works of ancient India which greatly influenced
art and
culture in the Indian subcontinent and South-
East Asia. Are you ready to listen?”
I’m now going to play the video. Please watch (Students watching)
