Activity 5 :challenging assumptions

INTRODUCTION :

In today's think lab session we talked about 'assumptions'. Assumptions are setting a criteria about something or someone without a proof

WARM UP SESSION :

In the warm up session we discussed the meaning of the word assumptions or what exactly does the word assumption tell us:

1. We were shown the picture of chai with it we had to make assumptions of chai:

Assumptions about chai:

energised

morning masala chai

starts day

rainy day

hot beverage

elders say

too much not good for health

long drive/travel break

many more

MAIN ACTIVITY:

In the main activity we were divided into groups and each group was given one food item.

Every group had to write assumptions about the food item they were given.

my group (11) was given chole bhature we used Miro Board to explain the assumptions about chole bhature.

initially we faced a little problem dividing the work amongst all the group members but later all of us brainstormed the ideas together and later we segregated according to their topic.

After that we created a digital poster to promote our dish.

REFLECTION:

Through this activity we got a clear picture of what assumption actually mean and not only that I also started challenging those assumptions. I got a lot of information about the dish and covered vast area of the dish

Assumptions can actually tell us of how the other person views and tell us their perspective about it

LEARNING MANTRA OF THE DAY :

"your assumptions are your window to the world"
