Ms
Subarna Saha, the class teacher, has just entered the classroom. She is now
talking to the students.
"Why
is the classroom so dirty?" asks Ms Saha. "I know the school cleaner
is absent today. So what? Can't we ourselves keep our classroom
clean?"says Ms Saha. "Sorry teacher," Shafiq, the class captain,
says politely. "This is our classroom. If you clean it, you will do
physical work and feel good. Also it is our responsibility to keep it clean and
tidy", says Ms Saha.
"Okay,
teacher," says Shafiq, "We'll do it from now on."
"First,
you can make a forum, and select a leader," the class teacher suggests. 2;
"Then divide the cleaning activities among different groups."
"It's
really a great idea, teacher," says Shafiq. "We'll make the committee
now and start working immediately."
After
this, a committee is formed by class 8 students under the leadership of their
class captain. The students are divided into several groups and a work plan is
made for cleaning. The students decided to make some ground rules. Here is a
list of some of the rules:
