“Bhaiyya, tomorrow is qayamat (apocalypse), everything will finish!” Said a 7-year-old student of mine as he entered my 4th-grade classroom in late 2015. “See this!” he handed me a leaflet full of pictures of mushroom clouds and people running away. Many of these pictures were from popular movies. Someone was handing them out at the end of the road where the school was. And when I looked up at the class most of the kids had these leaflets. Some were being used as napkins, some as paper-planes, and others tucked away shabbily into their pockets. After assuring the kids that there was definitely no apocalypse and asking them to settle down, I forgot all about it.
Super fun activities to build critical thinking and reasoning. Thank you sharing all the resources.
