Unit 3, Lesson 8: Making a Class Committee
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.
"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:
- Do not spit in the classroom.
- Do not drop litter in the classroom.
- Use the bin for trash.
- Keep the desks and chairs in place.
All the students of class 8 are very excited to be involved in this activity at school.
