Initiate learners into the lesson by taking them through the Let’s Get Started activity. Ask them to work
independently, seeking and extending help whenever necessary.
Encourage the learners to imagine on the topic: If I could fly… Have a discussion by asking them a few
questions such as:
• Would you like to fly like a bird?
• What would you need to fly?
• Would you enjoy flying in the morning, afternoon, evening or night?
• What do you think the earth will look from high above the sky?
• Which places would you want to visit and why?
• What three words show how being a bird makes you feel?
Encourage them to express themselves freely in class. Ensure maximum participation.
Ask the learners to take turns to read the lesson aloud with correct pronunciation. Take them through the
pictures and dialogues by providing explanation, wherever necessary. This will help reinforce comprehension
of the lesson.
Explain the contextual meaning of the difficult words and ask a few simple questions, intermittently, to ensure
the learners are following well. You can ask the following questions:
• When did the boy wake up?
Ask the learners to look at the pictures carefully and read the lesson silently for better comprehension. Ask
them to go through the glossary for a thorough understanding of the difficult words.
Ensure each learner has understood the lesson. Ask the learners to narrate incidents in the story that they
found most interesting. Encourage the learners to brainstorm two character traits of the boy.
Ask the learners to attempt exercise A in class. Encourage them to think independently by recalling the
lesson. Help them wherever necessary. Discuss the answers in class and ask the learners to check their work
simultaneously.
Discuss exercise B in class. Write a few key words on the board to facilitate efficient framing of answers.
Encourage them to write the answers in their notebooks. This may be given for homework. The learners can
read out their answers in the next English class.
Begin by telling the learners about words that express feelings. Then, engage them in a simple role play. Suggest
one such word to each of the learners and ask them to come to the front of the class and enact the word.
Encourage the learners to work with their partners and complete exercises A and B in class. Discuss the
answers and ask them to check the work of their partners.
Display a chart with examples of common and proper nouns. Explain, with examples, the difference between the

Next, take up the second grammar topic.
Explain the importance and the correct usage of the capital letter, comma and full stop. Tell the learners that
a sentence always begins with a capital letter and that proper nouns also begin with a capital letter. Comma
is used as a separator, to separate words in a list. Full stops are used at the end of sentences. Support all
explanations with suitable examples of your own and from the text.
Encourage them to complete exercise C independently in class. Elicit answers from the learners and ensure
maximum participation.
The listening exercise is to test the learner’s attentiveness to details. Encourage the learners to look at the given

Engage the learners in the circle-time activity by encouraging them to sit with the other learners in a circle and
take turns to express how they would feel in certain situations given in the exercise.
Encourage the learners to complete the writing exercise by answering the given questions in complete
sentences. Go around the class and do a random check to see if any help is required.
Once the exercise is over, encourage a few learners to come forward and read out their sentences in front of the
class. Ask the rest of the class to identify the colour words. Elicit answers from them while discussing the same.
Read out the question given in Think and Answer section. Prompt the learners to give their responses with
an example.
