History Becomes Fun at This School
Mumbai: Students in the sixth grade of a certain school in Navi Mumbai love their
history lessons. Thanks to a novel teaching aid. It is not surprising given the fact that their
study material includes comic books and they use their textbooks for reference to put
things into perspective. Besides, students are encouraged to tap other sources of
information as well. During history classes, students pore over comic strips of historical
periods, enact characters of emperors and tyrants, and have animated discussions on
the subject. History has become fun.
In the class students are asked to read the comic strip aloud, after which they break up
into groups of four, discuss what they have heard and write a summary. Each group
leader reads his group's summary aloud and the whole class jumps into discussion and
debate, adding points, disagreeing and qualifying points of view. A sixth grade student
says, "It's a lot of fun because everyone gets a chance to express themselves and the
summary takes everyone's ideas into account."
According to the school principal the comic strip format and visuals appeal to students.
A historian feels that using comics in schools is a great idea. Comics and acting help
students understand what characters in the story are actually thinking.
