A. for highlighting social disparity among students B. for encouraging students to reflect on home experiences C. for providing a varied context of how clothes can be washed D. for teaching them the process of cleaning the clothes Correct Answer B, C & D

EVS is a subject that has many themes which are again related to the daily life experiences of the children. So it is advised to teach every topic to the children by relating that topic to their real-life experiences. Key Points

As indicated above the teacher asked all students to respond on how clothes are washed because

  • To relate the subject knowledge to the real-life experiences of children.
  • To encourage students to reflect on home experiences as they have a collection of a lot of experiences at home even before coming to school.
  • To provide a varied context of how clothes can be washed where students get connected to the context as they are already familiar.
  • Enhance students thinking capacity as they think to collect all their experiences regarding the topic.
  • To teach the process of cleaning the clothes as it will be useful for them in future.

​Hence B, C & D are the correct options.

Additional Information

  • Social Disparity refers to disparities in other aspects of society such as the justice system, education, academe, business institutions, as well as politics. But here in the above discussion, there is no scope for social disparity so option A is wrong.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others fears, bearing witness as a way of healing andempowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing andguiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others well-being a moral responsibility.
Through a “mindful citizen” exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. This exercise helps us move beyond cynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of common humanity as a means toward social justice.
With this exercise, I believe we can help students bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections – just as I witnessed betweenShirley and Tiffany.
Shirley returned to class after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. They practiced seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging their differences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma,that they never imagined existed.
In assessments of these classes, students say that these small groups become “healing communities,” where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healingoccurs as we transcend an “us vs. them” mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice andfostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice. How students can replace their anger and distrust?
