Bridging Gap Activity


Note to the teacher:

The three pictures given for bridging activities are meant for classroom interaction in
order to equip the children to acquire basic language competencies and familiarise with the
primary discourses i.e., description, conversation and story writing. The transaction
process suggested is - whole class, group and individual activity. These pictures can be
used for writing descriptions, conversations and stories.

The teacher can also make use of some more pictures which have scope for interaction. The
teacher may refer to the teacher’s handbook for detailed process.

Steps in writing -
description/Conversation/story

  • eliciting the words (names of the persons/things and actions)- framing sentences -
    sequencing the sentences to get a meaningful description - giving a title to the
    description.
  • identifying the context and characters - developing possible dialogues - enacting the
    roles.
  • identifying the theme and characters - fixing the plot - sequencing the events -
    dialogues between the characters.
* All the three written discourses should be edited and presented before the class.
