Planning for Kaushal Mela
Planning for Kaushal Mela
You have worked on your projects and are now ready to share what you did and how you did it with others.
You may have shared something with other students and teachers during classroom presentations or during school assembly. You can also invite your family and other people to come and see your work. You can do this through the Kaushal Mela. But first, you must plan each detail carefully.
Planning is important since it helps you decide how to reach your goal. You must think about what need to be done and when it needs to be done so that everything goes smoothly. For example, if you are putting up a puppet show, you need to decide when and where keeping in mind that the maximum number of people watch it. Planning also helps to prevent wastage of time and resources. For example, if you want to demonstrate the tie and dye process, you must ensure all the materials are available in one place in the right quantity.
Since the Kaushal Mela will involve a lot of planning and coordination, you must plan each detail carefully. Responsibilities must be assigned for each activity, and the process for each activity discussed in detail. You must also develop a plan to work together as a team.
