Independence Day Gallery Walk: Grade 7&8

66^th Independence Day was celebrated with great pomp in our segment- 7^th and 8^th Grade with a gallery walk. A gallery walk consists of large format summaries posters around the corridors and an opportunity for participants to view, reflect and comment on the information.

The posters included:

·        Ancient India’s contribution to the field of science and technology

·        Great Heroes of the Medieval India

·        Lest we forget- Contribution of the freedom fighters in India’s Independence

·        Collage on formation of Telangana

Gallery Walk was an engaging way to get group participation and to promote shared understanding and ongoing learning. It was a technique that got students out of their chairs and into a mode of active engagement. It was a chance of to gauge the depth of students’ understanding about the freedom fighters.

Reflections:

Ria Parera (grade VIII): - Through this gallery walk, we learnt more about the important people who struggled for our independence and even their contribution. We also learnt about their “Never give up “attitude and how it helped them achieve their goal setting an example for us to do the same.

Kartik Vashist (grade VIII): - The gallery walk was fun and educative. We did a lot of research for this activity. In spite of last minute hitches we made some last minute adjustments and the posters came out really well. The charts were displayed in the corridor and explained to the visitors. All in all it was a good learning experience and we look forward for more such activities. 

Ayush Agarwal (grade VIII): - The gallery walk was a good learning experience. It showcased the rich history and diversity of India and told the tale of all our brave heroes. We came to know a lot about their contribution towards making India a free country.
