Completing a Social Science (SST) project for Class 9 or Class 10 is a major part of the internal assessment for CBSE and ICSE students. Whether you are working on a disaster management project, a history file, or a geography map work assignment, a professional acknowledgement page is mandatory.
Below are several copy-and-paste samples tailored specifically for SST subjects.
1. General SST Project Acknowledgement (Class 9 & 10)
Use this for a general Social Science project that covers multiple topics.
“I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my SST teacher [Teacher Name] as well as our principal [Principal Name] for giving me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on [Project Topic]. This project helped me in doing a lot of research and I came to know about so many new things. Secondly, I would also like to thank my parents and friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this project within the limited time frame.”
2. Acknowledgement for History Project
Perfect for topics like The French Revolution, Nationalism in India, or Industrialization.
“I am highly indebted to my History teacher [Teacher Name] for their guidance and constant supervision as well as for providing necessary information regarding the project. My thanks also go to my family for helping me gather historical facts and pictures that made this file successful. This project has deepened my interest in the history of [Topic Name].”
3. Acknowledgement for Geography Project
Best for projects on Resources, Agriculture, or Disaster Management.
“I express my sincere gratitude to my Geography teacher [Teacher Name] for providing the path and resources needed to complete this project. I would also like to thank my parents for their kind cooperation and for providing me with the internet access and materials required for the map work and data collection in this project.”
4. Acknowledgement for Civics/Political Science Project
Use this for projects on the Constitution, Democracy, or Gender & Caste.
“I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude to [Teacher Name] for his/her able guidance and useful suggestions, which helped me in completing this Civics project on [Topic Name]. I am also thankful to my classmates for the brainstorming sessions that helped me understand the democratic values discussed in this assignment.”
5. Short SST Acknowledgement (Class 9)
A quick and professional version for junior high students.
“I want to thank my Social Science teacher for the opportunity to work on this project. It has helped me learn a lot about [Topic]. I also thank my parents for their support and my friends for their help in completing this project on time.”
Why is an Acknowledgement important for SST?
In Social Science projects, teachers look for your ability to research and gather data from different sources (libraries, internet, family interviews). By mentioning these sources in your acknowledgement, you show that you have put in genuine effort, which can help you score higher marks in your internal assessment.
Where to place this page?
In your project file, the order should be:
- Title Page (Name, Roll No, Subject)
- Acknowledgement (This page)
- Index (List of contents)
- Body of the Project
Pro-Tip for Students:
If you are submitting this for a Board Exam (Class 10), make sure to use a formal tone and double-check the spelling of your teacher’s name. A clean, error-free acknowledgement page leaves a great first impression on the external examiner!
