Innovative work

 Innovative classroom activity, “Action Work”, transformed the way students learned action verbs through a fun and interactive rolling box model. Made using simple materials like cardboard, thermocol, and colourful papers, the tool allowed students to rotate and discover example sentences of different action verbs such as run, dance, and cook. This hands-on approach not only made grammar learning exciting but also encouraged creativity, teamwork, and active participation. The joyful expressions and enthusiasm of the students proved that even a simple handmade teaching aid can make learning both meaningful and memorable.
