Example:
Students can choose a topic on which to do their research/ interview, e.g. a student can choose the topic : “
Evolving food tastes in my neighbourhood” or “Corona pandemic and the fallout on families.” Read the
available literature.
The student then conducts interviews with a few neighbours on the topic. For an interview, with the help of
the teacher, student will frame questions based on the preliminary research/background.
The student will then write an essay/ write up / report etc. up to 1000 words on his/her research and submit
it. He / She will then take a viva on the research project. The project can be done in individually
or in pairs/ groups

agreeing with the speakers. Write an 800 - 1000 words report and submit. Take a viva on the report.

theatre?

● Will the video/audio have an interview with one or more guests?
