Objectives and tools:

Let us begin with a simple question. What do we want the kids to take away from the chapter when they step out of the classroom?

We want them to understand that:

Even though our Constitution lays down laws for equality, true equality will only come on the day we can begin to look past a person’s religion.
There is a difference between religious and secular.
Communities of love are larger than communities of religion.

Listing these points down is a useful way of orienting the students’ learning and our own preparation.

To make this possible, we have the following tools at our disposal:

A suggested chapter progression plan.
Four teachers’ handouts laying out unique experiential and concept learning activities.
Two class handouts or notes on various topics.
Two movies, one on secularism and another on Hindustan.
