Activity 3 Mahatma Gandhi Teaching guidelines
Learners must think about the qualities of leaders of which they learned earlier on. They must work in pairs and answer the questions.
Suggested answers 1.1 No, the British rule was not fair, as Indian people were not allowed to buy from whom they pleased, and they were forced to obey Britain’s laws.
1.2 Learners should be allowed to express their opinion, as long as they justify it. Most learners will probably say that he was right to break the law, because the law was unfair, and he wasn’t hurting anyone in the way he was protesting.
1.3 Gandhi was humble and kind to everyone; he took an interest in all people and didn’t mind if they were poor. He dressed the same as ordinary people and lived in a small house. He listened to everyone. He also told people not to use violence.
2 Learners, playing the role of Gandhi and the marchers, might say they should be allowed to make salt because it is unfair that they must buy salt from the British when in the past they had always made it themselves. The law was unfair. Also, they weren’t hurting anyone in the way they were protesting.
