6. Assessment techniques
Content and pedagogical process
Note . Before we start this chapter ,we have to make sure that
the students
know about the location and extent of Indian subcontinent
in general and India as a country in particular ,if it is not yet
achieved then it is important to give a separate session to
students on location analysis
• Collect information with the help of world map and Indian
political and physical map
• Discuss with full demonstration on the concept of plate
tectonics, show them an animated video on this concept
,show Maps Images and Diagrams on mountain building
and give them a brief concept on Geological Time Scale

7. Assessment techniques
• Show India Physical Map to them that the
students will differentiate between them
• Try to Correlate physical settings with drainage
,climate and economy of India and explain why
Northern plains of India are important
• Give them a brief concept of India interims of
Geo-politics and importance of rights over the
oceans and islands like Andaman and Nikobar
and Lakshadweep islands , the coral and volcanic
origin of these islands with the help of map
Content and pedagogical processes

28. RATIONALE
The map is the only tool with the geographers by which they can make
understand students
I tried to use map in full extend so that the students will remember the
key concepts of geography and locations for ever
I used some images to get a real feel about soil textures , desert and
coastal features of India
I used diagrams to show how mountain building took place
I used the table to get compared view on the altitudes of Himalayan
mountains
I tried to connect physical settings of India with geological time scale ,
economy, agriculture and geopolitics in order to get real essence of
geographical knowhow
