Cognitive Map

 As part of the B.Ed curriculum, cognitive maps play a crucial role in enhancing students' understanding and retention of literary units. The *Harmony of Life* unit from Plus One includes thought-provoking chapters such as *Going for a Walk*, *To Sleep*, and *Gooseberries*, each exploring different aspects of human experiences and emotions. Similarly, the *Flights of Freedom* unit from Plus Two comprises inspiring and socially relevant works like *Horegallu*, *Matchbox*, *The 3L's of Empowerment*, and *Any Woman*, which emphasize themes of resilience, gender equality, and empowerment. Integrating these literary pieces into a cognitive map can help students establish meaningful connections, improve comprehension, and foster a deeper appreciation of literature.
