A work of innovation was done by me as part of the B.Ed curriculum. I attempted to picturize the poem ' The Village Blacksmith' which is included in the coursebook of standard VIII. I began the work by providing a brief introduction about the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow along with his picture. Then I wrote the poetic lines on the left side of the page the detailed explanation of the lines was given on the right side. Sufficient pictures were pasted for enhancing visual beauty. It is said that "a picture is worth a thousand words".Visual aids encourage students' learning process and make it easier and interesting. Therefore I believe that this work will help the students to understand the poem 'The Village Blacksmith' with much ease. I have also introduced a few terms that are related to the blacksmith and his work. Pictures were also added. A crossword puzzle was included at the end of the work for making the work interesting.
