Prepare an information booklet with fact sheets of five Indian mountaineers. Include the following information in the fact sheet: 1. name (and photograph, if available) 2. place of birth 3. profession 4. accomplishments—awards or honours
Sample fact sheet for Arunima Sinha:
Name: Dr. Arunima Sinha Place of Birth: Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh Profession: Mountaineer, Former Volleyball Player, Motivational Speaker Accomplishments: First Indian female amputee to climb Mount Everest (2013); First female amputee to climb Mount Vinson in Antarctica; Completed Seven Summits; Padma Shri (2015); Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award; National Award for Best Female Mountaineer; Honorary Doctorate from University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
Students should create similar fact sheets for other Indian mountaineers such as Bachendri Pal (first Indian woman to summit Everest), Tenzing Norgay (first to summit Everest with Edmund Hillary), Santosh Yadav (first woman to climb Everest twice), and Malli Mastan Babu (speed mountaineer who climbed Seven Summits).
Explanation
This creative project requires students to research Indian mountaineers and compile information in a booklet format. The fact sheets should include biographical details and achievements. Students can include mountaineers like Bachendri Pal, Tenzing Norgay, Santosh Yadav, and others mentioned in the chapter or researched independently.
