So let’s begin. It’s Summer. We have time on our hands, holidays have begun and there’s nowhere to go. Yes, this is 2020- a year which most would lament, for what it has given us thus far. However, it's time to take the lemons that life has thrown at us and turn them into lemonade and sip on it, as we make this a summer worth remembering.

This time, for your Summer Project, the School wants you to explore, read, comprehend, collaborate and assess, so that you begin to understand yourself in relation to the local, regional and global environment, the ways in which they interconnect so as to help you on your journey to become a compassionate and resilient individual.

Give a thorough reading of all the sections, before you start working. We hope you will enjoy the activities and appreciate the experience. All your written work / presentations should be made on Google Docs / Slides / Sheets. Be prepared for an oral presentation and Viva when the school reopens after the Summer Break. (This way, we will collectively save a lot of paper!) However, if you want to reduce your screen time, you may use A4 sheets and file them.

NOT ALL SUPERHEROES WEAR CAPES
NOT ALL SUPERHEROES WEAR CAPES
In this great impasse, have you wondered about superheroes? How we wish a superhero would blow the dreaded virus away from the face of the earth!!! Well! If only wishes were horses..... However, on closer examination, we do see heroes and superheroes around us, and these don't necessarily wear capes or fly or have elaborate mobiles to roam around in, but they save us everyday. We learn about them in school and now we must try to understand their journey more deeply, about how they became SUPERHEROES. Go to the following site and learn more about them:

Let us maintain a self reflective diary and make at least 10 entries over the summer break, with our observations about ourselves, how we react to certain incidents and how they make us feel. We can start this journey by making a note of the number of times during the day that we knowingly or unknowingly cross our boundaries or do something without the consent of our family members. These can be small things, like taking someone’s phone without their permission, eating a portion of the chocolate which was supposed to be consumed by our sibling, changing the T.V channel when someone else is watching without asking them, not giving a younger or an older member of the family a chance to voice themselves or to choose for themselves, assuming that they will like whatever we decide for them and thereby not living in a world of cooperation but rather self absorbtion.
In order to get more clarity about what these observations about ourselves sound or look like, there are two videos given for better understanding of consent and how we cross boundaries without recognising that we are actually crossing them.
So let’s unravel the writer within us!!
