Question 3. \nBased on this news item given in the book, write a paragraph on what you think about this new method of teaching history. \nAnswer: \nSample answer: In my opinion, this way of teaching history is interesting. I am sure that the teachers are able to catch the attention of the students easily through this method. The use of comic books to teach a subject that is very often considered \u201coverwhelming\u201d is a novel and fun concept. I wish this could be done with math as well. By having the group discussions in class, the teachers are able to teach the students how to present their opinions well. In this way, studies do not seem like a burden. This is a fun approach to learning, and I am all for it.<\/p>\n

The Wind boasted, \u201cUsing my strength I can make that man take off the cloak.\u201d The Sun agreed. The Wind blew hard. The man felt so cold that he clasped his cloak round his body as tightly as possible.<\/p>\n
Now it was the turn of the Sun which shone very hot indeed. The man felt so hot that he at once removed the cloak from his body. Seeing the man taking off the cloak, the Wind conceded defeat. \n(Encourage the students to create a comic of their own using the given story.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
