I gave them another exercise - A story of two best friends whose friendship got into trouble one day and how they resolved it, was told to them. Only half of the story was narrated to children, leaving them at a very important part – they had to imagine the remaining part of the story and bring it to an appropriate end.
In addition to all such exercises, they were given guidelines on- How to describe - a scenario, how the people look, how they dress, their expressions, how to plan the plot.. and so on....

After little bit of Research on GLOBAL WARMING I introduced sessions on how to write a book… For that I gave them a little exercise…in which they have to plot the characters in small small stories. Exercise 1: From this exercise they will learn a lot… like how to write a story?? How to describe a character???What important things they should consider while writing… Let’s see the outcome now… In between children were also helped with motivational sessions since the burden of school and exams increased.

We began with understanding – how any type of story is written. We started with short stories and ended with fiction books.
For a long time we habituated ourselves(Me and children) to read a lot and understand how things, places, characters, ideas, and emotions are described. Then we did many writing exercises, worksheets and spontaneous stories and dramas.
Then came the most important part ………..
WHAT IS Global Warming???
Did they study it in their school??? Why is it important and what is causing it???
This part of information was researched from Websites, books, teachersand subject experts from CEE A’bad , Science City and GEER foundation, Gandhinagar. By the end of the year we had collected enough on theory. It was time for documentary and movies power point presentations that gave us a visual idea on the effects of global warming.

We are taking the readers into a new world many centuries from now…when life had to revive and re-evolve, after mass destruction of the present world. Humans and animals had just regained their places in the life circle. They are learning and discovering new ways to live with fewer resources, when suddenly a pair of discoverers unearth a strange skeleton which is unlike any creature that they have ever seen. Uncovering the existence of this creature is of vital importance, which forces them to visit their past (our present) only to realize how their ancestors (we) lived…..

How do you plan a Science fiction involving children and their imagination??? Science fiction is assumed to be most difficult to write in the line of literature.
In any process of Aaryam’s activity the main focus is on the child’s inner development. The latest concept of multiple intelligences was incorporated in the process of thinking and scripting the whole science fiction book.(attach a authorized link of MI)
Multiple intelligences is a new concept now introduced in many recognized schools in their curricular activities. Though very few parents are actually aware of MI Concept, it involves developing not only academic intelligence but also those which are ingrained in the child.
A project was planned based on 3 fundamental ideas ...to script a science fiction book - develop other areas of intelligence in the children and ultimately create awareness on the crucial Topic – conservation of environment in the society.
The Project was explained to the parents of Aaryam students and they happily agreed for a long term commitment.
From all the 9 MI's, this project could imbibe the following Intelligence during its complete process.
Spatial
Interpersonal
Intra personal
Logical
Verbal linguistic
Naturalist
Existential
It was totally a new way of learning in which we used mediums and methods like..
Encyclopedia, different story books
Internet
Show educational or related movies
Use different paper activities/worksheets
Meeting and discussing own thoughts and questions with experts like scientists, publishers, environmentalists etc…
Having brain storming sessions within team- thinking on logical possibilities, learning human behavior, to develop and introduce a character, to express ideas and emotions in writing, using a variety of words and synonyms.
Holding an Awareness Art Competition, and managing the event.

In summer 2009, as part of a summer workshop, I began making up my own stories and telling them to kids. During this time... a storyline sparked in my mind. I could clearly see the bright beginning of a gripping science fiction when I started telling this story to kids. The idea grew stronger in my mind seeing enthusiastic response of Aaryam students …. I found it rather unusual and very imaginative. I decided to work on this idea but not alone…. I wanted to it to grow with the involvement of Children.

Our DIDI Told us on the last class that we were meeting a Young scientist the next day. We were anxious to meet the scientist, Thinking how they looked like and what they did ?
Niyanta didi arrived to class. A young – engineering student! we couldn’t believe. But we found her wonderful!
She had won CHILD-SCIENTIST AWARD for the project on HEALTHY FOOD. And she many times had been part of research related to Global warming in the Jungle Areas of Dharampur.
Watch us experiment and experience the current warming situation on the earth .
After two informative Presentations on The Subject of GLOBAL WARMING, Vrajeshbhaiya , who is a science student , Gave each of us some experiments to perform . IN a week’s time we were to write our daily observations on our experiment paper.
Our green leaf, Soggy bread and Water Freezing experiments were reviewed by Vrajesh bhaiya and Didi. we observed the different effects the CO2 and heat can cause to different objects.
We felt like we were actually Scientists like our characters in the book! It was Wonderful!
Few kids of Ahmedabad is Aware of Climate Change. They are writing a science fiction book based on GLOBAL WARMING. here in this blog you will find their efforts and updates of the book. You will also find GLOBAL WARMING NEWS, And WHAT PEOPLE can do to control GLOBAL WARMING
