You can teach a lesson on rainfall in India, by exploring the precipitation maps of July and December in Marble. The maps show graphically the intensity of rainfall in different regions and this can be used to provoke discussions on the reasons associated with the differences in the quantum of rain in any region. This can also lead to discussions on cropping patterns in different regions of South India, based on the rainfall from the South West and North East monsoons.

Vocabulary building is one of the components of language learning. Kanagram is a software application in which you can create word lists for defined categories, which will presented in a jumbled form for the player to arrange into the desired words. You can build word lists in any language, though currently in Indian languages, you can use only simple letters and not letter combinations (ottaksharas).

You can build word lists for different categories and provide meaningful hints/clues. (The clues need not only be literal clues, it can be cryptic also, like in crosswords). For instance, you could set the clue as 'Pandava' for Bhima River. This activity can be a base for students to explore crosswords (with cryptic clues), play the '[[wikipedia:Scrabble|Scrabble]]' game, which involves students identifying words from the letters they have chosen. Solving crosswords is a good language learning activity. Making anagrams of any word can itself be a useful linguistic activity and you can try and create other words from a given word, by re-assembling the letters in different orders.

You can also record recitation of poems and stories and create audio resources which can be played to the class. The audio clip can be paused whenever required to allow for comments/discussions and resumed. Any part of the clip can be played again and as many times as required.

In year 1 you learn to create simple videos using the RecordMyDesktop software application, combining the computer screen image with an audio from the computer or from an external source (which could be your own voice). Creating picture stories, audio books and small video documents can support language learning. The video documents can include dubbing in the local language and sub titling to strengthen reading / listening skills.
