STEPS OF VALUE BASED LESSON PLAN

Dr Nirmaljit kaur, Associate Prof. Khalsa College of Education, Amritsar

Preparation: This step is concerned with the task of preparing the students for receiving new value/idea. It is just like preparing the ground before sowing the seed in it. The students, by suitable means must be made to receive the new value/idea.

It involves two parts:

P K Testing/Creating a situation

Announcement of the Aim/Topic


Presentation: At this stage the subject matter highlighting the value is put forth by using the appropriate method/technique of teaching. To sustain the interest of the students in the lesson, the subject matter needs to be divided into sub parts and arranged logically/ psychologically.

Contemplation: After completion of the lesson sensitizing the students about the value intended to be imbibed by them , the students should be given some time to discuss/ deliberate/ponder over the newly received value, individually or in groups .It will help them to understand the worth of the value.

Practice/Creating a situation/application: It is in fact a step for the fixing up or consolidation of the value/idea acquired in the lesson. Here what is learnt or generalized is applied to particular situations or facts for its further verification and provision of review, practice or application in the likewise situations.

Teacher’s statement BB Work

Location What is the Latitudinal extent of Equator?

The Map of Equatorial Regions will be shown.

Equator is located at 0° and on both sides of Equator up to 5° N and 5° S, the areas located are called as Equatorial Regions. These regions include The Amazon Basin (South America), The Congo Basin(Central Africa), Malaysia, Indonesia(South East Asia) etc.

0°-5° N0°-5° SThe Amazon Basin (South America), The Congo Basin (Central Africa), Malaysia, Indonesia(South- East Asia) etc.

PRESENTATION The lesson will be developed on the basis of the previous knowledge of the students by

adopting multi-disciplinary approach and the concepts will be explained with the help of a PowerPoint Presentation.

Climate 1) How many seasons do we have in a year?

The Teacher will explain why the seasons do not change in the Equatorial Regions from the slide.

We have different seasons i.e. winter, spring, summer, rainy and autumn but in Equatorial regions there is no change in season through out the year. The climate is hot and humid. They are the only areas of the world where the seasons do not change.

Temperature

2) What is the position of the Sun at the equator throughout the year?

The Teacher will explain the reason of high temperature at Equator.

The sun shines overhead all the year around. At the equator, sun rays fall vertically throughout the year and as a result temperature remains very high. Usually above 28º C. The air is also calm and there are no prevailing winds.

High TemperatureUsually above 28º C

Rainfall 3) What is water cycle?

The Teacher will explain water cycle from the slide.

Due to high temperature there is high rate of evaporation from rivers, lakes as well as the plants also transpire moisture.Warm, humid air then rises and cools to form huge storm clouds which causes heavy rainfalls most afternoons. The Equatorial Regions receive more than 168 cms of rainfall every year.

•Heavy Rainfall•168 cms every year.

4) How do you feel on a day which is hot and humid?

We feel miserable. And imagine , the inhabitants of these regions have to live in such hostile climatic conditions throughout their life.

Hostile climatic conditions.

5) In which season disease causing agents are more active?

The disease causing agents like viruses, bacteria and insects are active in the hot and humid climate. That is why the inhabitants of this region have to face large no. of Health Hazards. It is reported that every year a large no. of people die of diseases like malaria, cholera, snake bites, Tsetse fly bites etc.

Health Hazards.

Natural vegetation

Which type of climate is more suitable for the growth of vegetation?

The Teacher will show the related slides and explain the features of Tropical rain forests.

Since the climate is hot and humid so thick cover of natural vegetation is found. Hundreds of types of hard wood trees grow in equatorial region like Mahagani , Rosewood and Ebony. The trees grow very tall and spread out their branches to catch more light. The tops of the trees form a layer up to 7 mts thick canopy which blocks out sunlight to the forest floor.The Forest floor becomes very dark,gloomy and marshy as the sunlight does not penetrate through this thick cover of vegetation . At ground level, there is mass of rotting vegetation and fungus. On account of these harsh conditions the natural resources of Equatorial Regions are not properly utilized and that’s why the inhabitants of these regions are very poor.

Inhabitants 1)Who are Tribal people?

The Teacher will show the slide of tribal people.

2)What effect does the excessive exposure to sun has on our skin?

The tribal people are those who live in a jungle and lead a primitive life style. Various Tribes of people live in the Equatorial Regions such as The Pygmies of Central Africa, The Lumad people of the Southern Phillipines and The Amazonia Indians of South America. It is believed that there are 67 uncontacted tribes in Brazil and 44 on the Island of New Guinea.

Excessive exposure to sun makes the skin look tanned because the production of melanin in the skin increases which makes the skin look darker. So that is why people living in equatorial regions are dark complexioned which protects them from the harmful rays of the sun.

The Pygmies of Central Africa, The Lumad people of the Southern Phillipines and The Amazonia Indians of South America

•Increased production of Melanin•Protects them from harmful rays of the sun.




Hardships What hardships we have to face during the month of July-August (Rainy season)?

Slides showing hardships faced by the inhabitants will be shown by the Teacher.

In Equatorial Regions the inhabitants are subjected to most serious handicaps. They have little energy because the damp, steady heat never changes. They suffer terribly from no. of diseases like Malaria, Yellow Fever and other tropical diseases. Along with the trying conditions of climate and diseases, they have to suffer from the host of rodents, insect pests and other little irritations. Apart from this the odors, mists, irritating sounds of the insects get on the nerves, the heavy ,drooping ,silent, impenetrable green forests everywhere shuts one in like a smothering grave; the mind grows sick, and the body follows.

•Serious handicaps•Damp, steady heat never changes•Suffer terribly from no. ofdiseases like Malaria, Yellow Fever and other tropical diseases.




Economic Development

What factors determine the economic development of a country? The Teacher will show the related slides to explain the economic condition of the inhabitants.

The economic development of a country depends upon the proper utilization of its natural resources, healthy and skilled human resources and proper transportation system. But in Equatorial Regions on account of harsh climatic conditions, impenetrable tropical forests and health hazards, the natural resources are not properly utilized which make these Equatorial Regions economically backward. So most of the inhabitants are very poor and lead a miserable life.

•Economically backward.

•Harsh climatic conditions, impenetrable tropical forests and health hazards

• Inhabitants are very poor and lead a miserable life.


CONTEMPLATION After the completion of the topic the students will be divided

into different groups and will be instructed to discuss the life of people of Equatorial Regions in their respective groups.

APPLICATION The students will be asked to write, if they were inhabitants of

Equatorial Regions, what kind of hardships they would have experienced?

How can we make a difference to the life of people living in the Equatorial Regions?

HOMEWORK The students will be asked to prepare a scrap book showing the

life of people living in Equatorial Regions.
