How will this project help the class, school, community or world?
Children will get a better understanding of a textbook; and its relation to real life; and how lessons can help us in becoming better and more capable people; and this may go a long way in helping to generate interest in a textbook and its contents; and changing the mind set, making a textbook a friend and not a fiend.
