Although Sheel's concept is not being used in most schools, I remember the concept working very well from my own work with children (I had always liked children to be asked to talk or write about their favourite topics, for instance, an interesting picnic, food item etc. rather than `my school', `my house' etc, which is monotonous and boring even to us, adults, as these topics have been given to children without any change since many of us were school kids). When I read the write up, I remebered the middle of past decade, when I had the pleasure of meeting Sheel, although I did not have time to let my staff meet her so that they could be inspired too. I wish curriculum developers and school managements read the write up. A very crisp and highly effective write up.
