This was the first time I was
celebrating 'International Literacy Day' and this first time became the most
memorable day of my life. As I knew about 'One Day-One Story' Campaign' of
Pratham books I filled the form and also shared this with my students. They
became very happy. As the story about giant is liked by my grade six and seven
students. I thought to share it with them. My students love doing role plays of
the story. So we made a plan to act the story.
As, I got the e-book of the story 'Paplu, the giant' I went to school
and shared with them the story on 4th of September.

role divisions and also work division. Some translated the story in Nepali,
some gathered the materials and so on.

Then as we had local festival on
7th of September. We thought to have a role play on 6th of September. They
became ready and showed their story to grade eight students. They became really
happy.

It was a great experience. I
really enjoyed it. As well as my students enjoyed a lot. Through this I also
made them aware about what literacy day is and why is it important? My students
like the character 'Paplu' very much.
Some also wished to be like paplu in their society, a very helpful and kind
boy. While we were planning for the role play, the students came out with some
creative and crazy ideas about presenting the story and mostly about making
size of the giant. And finally they came up with carring a boy by three boys
and wearing a raincoat and making the size big. When the story was finally
executed, the same scence became the most memorable scence of my life.
