Introduction:( 20-25 mins)

Attached as power point presentation in Annexure I
Brain Activation: (2 mins)
There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last
one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You
may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose.
How can you label the boxes correctly?

9.

Survey and Reading by students: (15-18 mins)

 Students are instructed to survey the main headings, sub headings and the words which
are given in bold / italics and mentally convert that as questions.
Book Title : Special Electrical Machines
Author: K.Dhayalini
Page No: 3.1 to 3.3
10 Discussion: ( 9 mins)
.
Students are asked to discuss among themselves with in the group.
An open discussion can be done with the other groups for more clarification.
For further more clarification student faculty interaction can take place.
During discussion faculty should monitor all the groups and identify the students those
who are not involved.
11 Mind Map: (5-7 mins)
