Teacher's Note

This project helps children learn about themselves and their friends. In India, this is like making a friendship album that students can keep forever.

Exam Trick

Remember: Write only what you truly think about yourself. Do not copy from your friends. Teachers like honest answers.

Points to Remember

Write your true name, not a fake name.

Ask ten friends to help you fill this sheet.

Write short, simple answers in the blanks.

Think about your real likes and dislikes.

Instructions For Your Presentation

After you have collected the filled in sheets from your friends, go through all of them and make notes for each of the points. Use the notes to write a report about your friends' likes, dislikes, habits, favourite personalities, etc. You can present your report orally or in writing.

Remember the following things when you make a written or oral presentation.

Your presentation should clearly show what many or most people enjoy, appreciate, fear, etc; what only some of them mention, and what only one or two mention.

If necessary, you may point out what is not mentioned by any of the people. For example, you may say, "It appears that nobody is afraid of examinations, as no one has included them in the things they fear!"

You should also mention what you found most interesting in the responses, at the end of your presentation.

You must take care to see that you do not hurt anyone's feelings when you get the sheets filled or when you make your presentation.

You need not mention the names of your friends in your presentation. You should only give a summary of what you observe in the responses given by many people.

This is a language oriented project and therefore it is necessary that students do it independently, using many language skills like approaching people politely, putting together the information gathered under the proper categories in a relevant manner, preparing a report on what they observe and presenting the report briefly but in an interesting manner. Some children should be allowed to present the report orally in the classroom.

The teacher should see that personal remarks are not made during the preparation and presentation of the reports.

Teacher's Note

This project teaches children how to talk to others politely and take notes. In India, this helps students learn about different families and their values.

Exam Trick

Remember: Never write down friends' real names in your report. Just say "many friends" or "some friends" instead.

Points to Remember

Collect sheets from exactly ten friends.

Read all sheets before you start writing.

Write what most people said, not just one person.

Be kind and do not hurt anyone's feelings.

Present your report in simple, short sentences.
