Unlock Audio Lesson

Today, we will discuss the fear people have towards certain animals, particularly snakes. What do you think makes us fearful?
I think it's because snakes can be dangerous and we've heard scary stories about them.
Yeah, and in the stories we read, the snakes were depicted as scary creatures.
Exactly! Fear can arise from our experiences or what we've learned from stories. Can someone explain how fear might lead us to react in specific ways?
People might scream or run away if they see a snake!
Great point! Let's think of where else we see this fear represented in literature or films.
In many horror movies, snakes are used to scare people!
Excellent observations! Let’s summarize: we fear snakes often due to dangerous depictions in stories and personal experiences.

Now, as we begin our survey project, what kinds of questions might we ask to understand fears better?
We could ask what animals people are afraid of and why.
Maybe we should ask if they have had a scary experience with an animal?
Great suggestions! Crafting questions is crucial. What's a good way to format a question?
We should make them easy to answer, like yes or no questions!
Exactly! Clear and concise questions help gather useful information. Let’s review how to collect and document responses.

After collecting our survey data, what's the next step?
We need to organize the answers and see what people fear the most.
Can we put the data in a table or a chart?
Absolutely! Visual aids like charts can help show our data more efficiently. Why is it important to present data clearly?
It helps others understand our findings without confusion.
Right! At the end, we’ll write a report summarizing our findings to share with the class.

Project Overview
This section of the chapter focuses on the exploration of fears in relation to animals as depicted in two stories: 'The Snake and the Mirror' and 'The Miraculous Escape'. It emphasizes the universal nature of fear, especially concerning snakes, which is commonly experienced by both children and adults. The project encourages students to interact with their peers or community to gather data on people's fears through a survey. Students are instructed to develop a questionnaire, conduct interviews, collect responses, and present their findings, therefore engaging them in hands-on learning and critical thinking. This activity promotes teamwork, enhances communication skills, and provides practical experience in data collection and analysis.

The stories of ‘The Snake and the Mirror’ and ‘The Miraculous Escape’ show how people face danger and are scared of animals.
Detailed Explanation
This project begins by linking the two stories, emphasizing that they reveal the nature of human fear when facing dangerous animals. It sets the tone for the survey you'll conduct, highlighting that both children and adults often have fears, particularly of animals like snakes and stray dogs.
Examples & Analogies
Think about how many people are frightened of spiders, even if they have never been harmed by one. This is similar to the fears people feel regarding snakes and dogs.
Conducting the Survey

As children, many of us fear stray dogs. Both adults and children are scared of snakes. Fear exists in most of us. Some fears have bases and others do not. Let us conduct a survey of what people fear about.
Detailed Explanation
This part encourages students to explore their own and others' fears through a survey. It suggests that while fear is a common human experience, not all fears are rational or based on real danger. It invites students to investigate various fears through engagement with classmates or community members.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are at a party where there is a dog. While some people may completely ignore the dog, others might feel anxious or afraid. Conducting the survey helps illustrate the variety of fears people hold, much like discovering who enjoys roller coasters and who doesn't.
Forming Groups and Planning

• Form groups of four, and select an area for your survey. It may be your classmates, teachers or people in your neighbourhood.
Detailed Explanation
In this step, students are instructed to work in small groups. This not only fosters teamwork but also allows for a broader perspective while collecting data. Choosing a specific area or demographic to survey is important for gathering meaningful information.
Examples & Analogies
Think about how you might learn different recipes from friends at school. By working in groups, you share knowledge and experiences, creating a richer understanding—just like the information you will gather in your fear survey.
Developing the Questionnaire

• Develop a questionnaire to collect information about the fears people have. You may have at least eight to ten questions.
Detailed Explanation
Students are guided to craft a questionnaire that includes at least eight to ten questions targeting various aspects of fear. This promotes critical thinking, as they must consider what questions will elicit useful information.
Examples & Analogies
Creating a good questionnaire is like being a detective. Just like detectives need specific questions to solve a mystery, you need the right questions to uncover what fears people have.
Conducting the Survey and Analyzing Results

• Decide how many people you will ask the questions for the survey.
Detailed Explanation
Before conducting the survey, students must determine a sample size—how many individuals they will ask. Having a clear number helps ensure the data collected is representative and manageable for analysis.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it as planning a pizza party. If you know how many friends are coming, you can order the right amount of pizza. Similarly, deciding how many people to ask helps ensure you gather enough information.
Compiling and Reporting the Data

• Write their opinions in tabular form.
Detailed Explanation
After collecting responses, students should organize the findings in a table. This structured format makes it easier to compare results and spot trends in the data regarding perceived fears.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine sorting your candy after Halloween—a table helps you see what candies are most popular. Similarly, a table can reveal which fears are most common among the respondents.
Writing the Report

• Now write the first draft of the report. You may add graphic representations of the information and the data collected.
Detailed Explanation
With data compiled, students are now ready to draft a report. This will summarize findings and can include visuals like charts and graphs, making the report more engaging and comprehensible.
Examples & Analogies
Think about how news reports often include graphs to show statistics. Just like news reporters present data clearly, your report will help your classmates understand the trends in fears among your surveyed group.
Presenting Findings to the Class

• Present it in a report form to the class. You can also make a PowerPoint presentation.
Detailed Explanation
Finally, students are encouraged to present their findings either in written report format or through a PowerPoint presentation. This fosters public speaking skills and reinforces their understanding of the content.
Examples & Analogies
Presenting your findings is like telling a story. Just as authors share their stories with readers, you share what you learned with your classmates, helping everyone understand the fears others experience.
