Preface IMAX Program partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX Program presents the latest version of this series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. The Alpine series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the prescribed board curriculum.

These objectives are integrated in the EVS – II (Social Studies) textbooks and workbooks to provide a holistic learning experience to students. The key features of the EVS – II (Social Studies) books are as follows.  A rrangement of concepts based on the RUAH model based on Bloom’s Taxonomy  C haracter and dialogue-based introductions to concepts to make EVS – II (Social Studies) concepts more relatable to students  V isually engaging formats for the organisation and presentation of information  In-text activities to assist memorisation and understanding  Subject-related vocabulary building in every lesson  Use of timelines and historical maps to help students to develop timeline, map and globe skills  U se of maps and scenario-based questions in the workbooks  Integration of values and life skills  P romotes awareness and personal responsibility through dialogue and enquiry about the world around us Overall, this series aims to enhance social, cultural and analytical skills for the intuitive and harmonious growth of an individual in an interconnected and independent global community. – The Authors NR_BGM_9789388751766 ALPINE KA G05 EVS II (SOCIAL STUDIES) WORKBOOK PART 1_Text.pdf 2 12/26/2018 10:10:02 AM
