What do you think of the central idea of the poem ‘Gull’?
Environmental degradation is one of the biggest concerns of our times.
Due to deforestation, animals and plants are losing their habitats.
Conduct an extempore in class on the theme of environmental
conservation. Make slips of possible prompts, and put them in a
bowl. Each student will get on the stage and pick a prompt. Then,
he/she will get a minute to prepare for it, after which he/she will have
to speak on the allotted topic for three minutes. Be mindful of the
time during this activity.
Some possible prompts could be:
• need for afforestation
• global warming
• effects of climate change
