Come let us do an analysis

WORKBOOK ANALYSIS

Session - 2

LET’S GET CLEARED!!!

• Let’s group into six teams.
• Each team will get two questions.
• Discuss the questions given to you.
• Present it to the class.

1. I have a monograde Class 4. Do I need to conduct all the activities mentioned in the THB?

No. Teach the common activity and the Class specific activity for 4^th STD.

Class specific activity:

Class 4 is coded with ash dot. The prescribed prose, poetry and supplementary come under the class specific activity.

Common Activity:

It is meant to be conducted for all the two classes. These activities focus on introducing and reinforcing vocabulary, grammar

2. I am handling a multigrade classroom with classes 4 and 5.

Now, I am teaching class 4 prose (story) to the students.

Should I engage Class 5 students listen to the story narrated to Class 4?

No. The students of class 5 are assigned exercises to be done in their workbook / textbook. They need to do the workbook / textbook exercises. If they had completed the exercises previous day itself, assign them reading task in their textbook.

Can I teach the workbook exercises without conducting the activities given in THB?

Strictly No. It does not serve the purpose and there is no meaning in doing this. The learning outcome cannot be reached without conducting the activity. The workbook exercises are the extension of THB activity to fulfil the learning outcome.

Which class and level is Rainbow stars activity designed for? When and how should it be done?

Rainbow star activity - all level students

Provided - end of each module.

Class strength - teacher can decide the number of children to talk on a day. Develops speaking skills

Grade level first – then the below grade level

Avoid memorizing

By the end of the year, all students will also find it easier to speak.

I have classes 4 and 5. Should my Malar level children do Arumbu , Mottu and Graded level exercises too?

No. It is enough to do their appropriate level exercises alone (Malar).

I have noticed an exercise in workbook with four coloured dots. Which level student has to complete this exercise?

It is a common exercise meant for all level students.

Is it compulsory to use only the listed activities for FA(a) given in the annexure in THB?

Yes. Only those activities are listed in FA(a) column in the APP for entering the marks for Final consolidation.

How can I make the students memorize the songs and chants given in the THB?

• Learning a new language can be fun and engaging!

​

• Chants and songs are an exciting part of language learning activities.

​

• Students don't need to memorize them, but simply listen and repeat.

​

• These interactive tools help improve pronunciation and enable children to use language in meaningful chunks.

​

• By participating in chants and songs, students can develop their articulation skills and build confidence in using the language.

Do we have level - based teaching activities in THB for class 4 and 5?

• No. We practise inclusion in teaching activities.

​

• We don’t have Arumbu, Mottu, Malar and Graded teaching activities.

​

• Instead, we ensure every student participates actively during lessons.

​

• This way, each child gets the opportunity to engage with the learning material.

​

• Additionally, teachers can provide targeted support to students who need extra help.

​

• To reinforce learning, we offer practice worksheets tailored to individual student levels.

Is it necessary to narrate the story given in textbook and teach the same again in the THB?

Stories in THB are the simplified version of the story in the textbook. So, it is enough to teach the story given in the THB.
