All of themwere in a joyful mood and did not want to study. I agreed. I dividedthem into groups and asked them to play games in groups. Suddenly,I noticed that Shivang was studying a Science book and was totallyengrossed in his studies. I became very curious and asked,” Why don’tyou play games with your friends?” Shivang replied, “I do not enjoyplaying these games. I enjoy reading my Science books.”Continuous and Comprehensive EvaluationComment:Shivang is an intelligent boy who has got a scientific temper but lackssocial skills. He does not like to interact with others.
