Preface IMAX 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 presents the latest version of the Summit series – specially crafted as an accompanying workbook series for the Maharashtra state board textbooks. The Summit series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 in conjunction with the content covered and approach adopted in the Maharashtra state board textbooks. The NCF 2005 advocates the creation of age-appropriate and easily relatable content for EVS. It also recommends the use of graphics, illustrations and pictures to help students to engage with concepts and ideas better. Below are some salient features of the Summit EVS-II workbooks series: 9Arrangement of questions based on the RUAH (Remember, Understand, Apply and Higher Order Thinking Skills) model based on Bloom’s Taxonomy 9Visually engaging timelines that summarise information from the lessons 9Stimulating Application and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions that ensure students engage with the content and not just focus on rote learning 9Use of maps and scenario-based questions in the workbooks 9All textbook questions that require space for writing have been included. Overall, the IMAX Summit 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

It relies on scientific evidence such as written and oral records. 3) By studying history we learn about past societies, their thinking, and the consequences of their actions. 4) We can try to avoid the mistakes made by past civilizations and build a better world by studying history. 5) Our today is linked to our ancestors’ yesterday. The future is made by past actions and that is what history teaches us. What is History?
