Project Work / Internal Assessment: Report, Viva, Participation
Project Work / Internal Assessment evaluates a project report, viva, and classroom participation. The report must show a real question, a method, evidence, and reflection; the viva checks ownership.
Project report
Choose a narrow, local Santali topic: a proverb glossary, a folk-song collection, an oral history of a festival, or a dialect vocabulary list. Structure: title, introduction and question, method (who, where, how many), data/evidence, analysis, conclusion, limitations, sources.
Worked example: Proverb project. Collect 20 Santali proverbs from elders; record speaker, place, and meaning; group by theme (weather, kinship, work); analyse one pattern. Reasoning: the report is credible because the method is stated, the data are traceable, and the analysis is limited to collected items. In the viva, be ready to explain why you chose the topic, how you checked meanings, and what you would do differently.
Viva and participation
Prepare a two-minute summary: question, method, finding, limitation. Participation means contributing to discussion with evidence, not dominating.
Traps: copied material without citation; claiming a universal conclusion from a small sample; reading slides in the viva; leaving out limitations.
