One   day   Kalu wanted  to  play  a trick. He did not give Appu anything to eat. He took out his needle  instead and pricked Appu's trunk. Appu ran away in pain.

 

Two days later Appu came down to the river and filled his trunk with water .He reached Kalu’s shop and threw water everywhere. All the new clothes became wet.

Teacher's Page         UNIT 10      

The emphasis in this Unit is on:

• different occupations;
• imaginative thinking and
• the ability to write and speak sentences.

Children should be able to write sentences such as 'My name is...'

There can be times when the children do not speak correctly. Remember, the main focus is on communication and the ability of the children to express their feelings in English.

• Children can be given a series of oral directions to listen to and then follow. Gradually increase the number of directions. For example:

Pat your head,

touch your nose,

pull your ear,

stamp your feet.

• Encourage an independent reading and writing habit in children and provide them time for it. Motivate them by reading interesting stories and poems. Use the language for instruction that is familiar to the child. Let your enthusiasm for the story shine through. Speak slowly and clearly.

• Some thoughts on friendship, basic hygiene, and compassion for animals, peace and sensitivity to their environment can be discussed.

• Ask the children to practice the alphabets in lower case and capital letters. By now the child should have an understanding of basic punctuation like capital letters, full stops and question marks and be able to recognise plural and singular forms. In all this, the key word is encouragement. The child who senses your faith in his abilities will learn to trust himself and derive satisfaction from his accomplishments and stay motivated.

• Role play and activities are vital for the development of the child. Through these he/she learns to communicate verbally, share, take turns and enjoy interaction with others.

• This book attempts to involve the child in a sense of joy for a new language. The child who is gently nurtured, subtly led and exposed to all aspects of his environment is the child who will learn.
