 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Discussion on the use of the film **10,000 BC** or sections of the documentary **Home**, as a provocation into the TD theme was conducted where everyone shared different perspectives on the use of the film and its effect
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We all agreed on the use of reading aloud the book ‘Grandfather’s Journey’
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A collection of newspaper headlines to be created based on the following news items //(and any other)://
 * o <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Archaelogical work on in Hisar
 * o <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Anna Hazare
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sharing of personal journeys of teachers like Seema, Malini was also considered ||
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Proposed plan ** || * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Due to paucity of time, the plan could not be finalised in the meeting. Hence, the PYP Coordinator proposes the following plan for the introduction of the TD Theme:
 * // Proposed Activity for provocation to the TD theme: //**
 * 1) 1. All students to view 5 different presentations each based on a certain skill
 * 2) 2. All students will find comfort in the skill they are most confident about and yet be exposed to different skills of comprehension (Aural, Visual, Oral)
 * 3) ** 3. **** The 5 presentations will be: **
 * o The documentary Home (Priya)
 * o The story book ‘Grandfather’s Journey’ __will get it from the library__ (Malini)
 * o Newspaper Headlines-Anna Hazare and any other relevant information(SEEMA)
 * o Power point on Where we are in place and time - Shalini (this is the one Pooja shared)
 * o A collage of visuals __will collect the visuals... can Pooja make it into a collage?__ (Shalini, you said you had this right?)
 * A song - Jim

Some suggestions: 1. I've been everywhere man... by Johnny Cash ... []

2. Country roads take me home... by John Denver... []

[]<span style="color: #00fff7; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> ( We all go back to where we belong) just check this if this is fine. Shalini Gorgeous song, but the lyrics are very adult. Let us see what the others feel?! :) __**<span style="color: #00fff7; font-family: Georgia,serif;">MOVIE- LION KING ( Shows migration, personal history) **__<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> **This is a great idea!**

What do you guys feel?
 * 1) 4. Through a Bus stop activity students will view all 5 presentations
 * 2) 5. They will then chose 2 of those presentations to reflect on
 * 3) 6. They will reflect based on the following 3 questions
 * 4) **// 7. //****// Teacher questions: //**
 * o Elaborate any 2 aspects of the presentation that you could connect with and why.
 * o What TD theme would you associate this presentation with and why?
 * o Highlight the strands after reading the TD theme’s description, which can be associated with your chosen presentation. ||
