Preface
The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making the
educational content and methodology more sensitive and responsive to the global needs. It signifies the emergence of a fresh thought
process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue the learning process in harmony with
the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.
The Central Board of Secondary Education has been providing support to the academic needs of the learners worldwide. It has about
11500 schools affiliated to it and over 158 schools situated in more than 23 countries. The Board has always been conscious of the
varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing certain elements of the learning
process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which they are engaged. The International Curriculum being
designed by CBSE-i, has been visualized and developed with these requirements in view.
The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The objective of the curriculum is to nurture the
independence of the learner, given the fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand, appreciate, protect and build
on values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, make the necessary modifications, improvisations and additions wherever and whenever
necessary.
The recent scientific and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of knowledge at an astonishing pace. The speed
and methods of assimilating knowledge have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink their approaches
for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to incorporate those skills which will
enable the young learners to become life long learners. The ability to stay current, to upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to
understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant life skills have to be a part of the learning domains of the
global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of these requirements.
The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the Indian system of education while promoting critical and creative thinking
skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills along with information and media skills. There is an inbuilt
flexibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum, in all subject areas to cater to the different pace
of learners.
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum in schools affiliated to CBSE at the international level in 2010 and is now introducing
it to other affiliated schools who meet the requirements for introducing this curriculum. The focus of CBSE-i is to ensure that the learner
is stress-free and committed to active learning. The learner would be evaluated on a continuous and comprehensive basis consequent
to the mutual interactions between the teacher and the learner. There are some non-evaluative components in the curriculum which
would be commented upon by the teachers and the school. The objective of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the
learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This would involve trans-disciplinary linkages that would
form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research
would be the constituents of this Core. The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learners holistic growth and learning
curve.
The International Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005)
and the experience gathered by the Board over the last seven decades in imparting effective learning to millions of learners, many of
whom are now global citizens.
The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at the international level, but as an exercise
in providing the much needed Indian leadership for global education at the school level. The International Curriculum would evolve
on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while addressing the issues of
empowerment with the help of the schools administering this system strongly recommends that practicing teachers become skillful
learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the interactive platforms provided by the
Board.
I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics), CBSE, Ms. Abha Adams and her team and Dr. Sadhana
Parashar, Director (Training), CBSE along with other Education Officers involved in the development and implementation of this
material.
The CBSE-i website has already started enabling all stakeholders to participate in this initiative through the discussion forums provided
on the portal. Any further suggestions are welcome.

Introduction
Life without numbers is something hard to imagine. Pages of a book, number of years
in a date (eg. 15 September 2012), number of vehicles in a city, popula on and many
more cannot be thought about without the concept of numbers or to be more precise
Thousands. In Class II the students eciently followed the concept of three digit
numbers.
This unit deals with 4 digit numbers, number names and numerals, place value, expansion
of numbers with respect to place value and coun ng them in dierent ways star ng from
any number. This can be successfully achieved through the eec ve use of an abacus
and many other interes ng ac vi es. This unit also enables the students to compare and
order numbers using the concept of place value. Students learn to arrange the numbers
in ascending and descending orders and also form the greatest and the smallest numbers
with and without repe
and odd numbers and form rules to dis nguish between them.
Teachers Notes
Students and their needs are changing. Students today are not passive consumers of
educa onal resources and they should not be so either. Students need to view learning
as an ac vity without a beginning or an end. It is essen al to show them the path through
which they can acquire and deploy knowledge. Their concepts must be very clear. They
should have a glow of confidence and achievement. At the end of every lesson they must
feel that yes! It was indeed the best lesson! For achieving this goal, the following ac vi es
should be incorporated in the lesson and relate it to the theme My Family.
Playing with Number Cards and Place Value Cards.
Using the Abacus.
Skip Coun ng the Year of Birth in Dierent Ways.
Jumping According to the Place and Place Value of their Number.
Colouring according to Place Value.
My Family...
Forming Rules a er Observa ons.

through a variety of joyful and interes ng ac vi es which makes this lesson an enriching
experience for the students. Relevant assessment worksheets are there for each sub unit
to help assess the students understanding and his ability to relate the concept to his day
to day life.
General Objectives

My Family...
Following the rules laid to compare 3 digit numbers, the students have to cri cally
think and form rules to compare 4 digit numbers.
While forming the 4 digit numbers if one of the digits is 0, the students need to
comprehend the smallest 4 digit number keeping in mind that 0 cannot be placed in
the thousands place.
In adding 2 even or 2 odd numbers the result is an even number. Similarly, the students
have to decipher the result themselves in case of addi on of 1 odd and 1 even
number.

Social Science
Introduction
At the entry level of Class III, students are already familiar with the term family and also
realise that it is the basic Unit of society. They have already developed an understanding
of its meaning and existence in society. Unit II Family is planned to further enhance
their conceptual knowledge, comprehending skills, observa onal skills, logical reasoning
and capability of deriving their own inferences. They are made to realise that society
will not func on in a disciplined and organised manner if families do not exist, The law
of the jungle would prevail leading to chao c situa ons. The lesson develops on the
line of concept of family, family as a support system (caring and sharing values),
rela onships in the family (similari es and dierences), sensi vity towards old and
physically challenged people.
Teachers Notes
The key concept in social science is that of The family. The defini on of family in the
Webster dic onary is a household, with ones own spouse, parents and children. The
family is generally regarded as a major social ins tu on and remains the focus of a persons
social ac vi es. It is a social unit created either by blood, adop on or marriage and can
be further described as nuclear or extended. In the present scenario the modern family
has undergone a radical transforma on in its structure. The changing value systems have
been a major factor in contribu ng towards a sharp reduc on of the classical / tradi onal
family structure. Besides the nuclear and extended families there are the childless family,
one parent family, other family configura ons and quasi-family units which have also
simultaneously come into existence.
Even though there have been tremendous changes since the very beginning of civiliza on
the family s ll remains the most func onal social ins tu on. This fact has been emphasised
and re-emphasised in Unit II Family through ac vi es visits, open-ended situa ons,
presenta ons and worksheets.
Laying significance on the fact that students of primary classes are energe c and curious
the Unit- II Family has been developed keeping all the mul ple intelligences in close

essen al for the facilitator to enrich them in each aspect. Audio- visual aids form an

dealing with the lesson plan.
At the end it is essen al to highlight that each unit has a rubric which helps the facilitator
to be judgemental about himself and comprehend whether the teaching- learning process
has taken place the way it was desired and to make sure that no child is le behind.

Introduction
Nota on is the wri en expression of music notes and rhythms on paper using symbols.
When music is wri en down, the pitches and rhythm of the music is notated, along with
instruc ons on how to perform the music. The study of how to read nota on involves
music theory, harmony, the study of performance prac ce, and in some cases an
understanding of historical performance methods. Wri en nota on varies with style and
period of music. In Western Art music, the most common types of wri en nota on are
scores, which include all the music parts of an ensemble piece, and parts, which are the
music nota on for the individual performers or singers.

The life line of a football team is to master the art of the good passing of the ball. In a
nutshell, good passing is knowing where and when to hit the ball, with accuracy and
the right weight, there are many types of passes, but the most important is the push
pass. This pass is the most reliable way of shi ing the ball from one player to another.
Such passes are invariably used over short distances and oer a high level of control

Lesson Plan-a
Topic: Pronouns
Dura on: 3 Hours 30 Minutes.
Brief Descrip on: This is the story of a birds family. The birds have never seen flowers
and winters. When the birds come to a field which is full of flowers, the birds begin to
sing very melodiously. In a very short me the birds make their nest too. The mother bird
lays five eggs. Both father and mother bird feel happy, constantly, admiring the eggs. One
day one of the eggs peeps and starts moving. Pre y soon another egg moves under her
feathers, and then another and another. Finally, five li le birds hatch! Now the father bird
sings louder than ever. The mother bird, too, wants to sing, but she has no me, and she
turns her song into work. So hungry are the li le birds that it keeps both the parents busy
feeding their fledglings. Away each one flies to get food for them. The moment the li le
birds hear them, their wings start to flu er among the leaves. Five li le yellow mouths
open wide, and nothing can be seen but the five yellow mouths! Soon the li le birds are
big enough to fly. In me the li le birds learn to use their own wings, and they fly away, to
find food, and build their own nests. Things changes as the weather changes too. Mother
and father bird also fly away. Mother and father are happy that their babies have grown
up and are fine to and they will live happily.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to:
Material Required
Coloured sheet for the ac vity, pencils/ coloured pencils, handout of the story, etc.
Teacher Activity
Once the students begin to master pronouns, let the students con nue wri ng a paragraph
or essay using appropriate nouns and pronouns.
47
My Family...
Let students discuss when it is appropriate to use pronouns. For example, you would not
use a pronoun to begin a story or paragraph because the reader would not know to whom
the writer is referring.
Pronoun Hunt
Students search the classroom for words, gathering only those that are pronouns. To
prepare for this game, the teacher will write words on index cards. The teacher must
write on each card, including words of all parts of speech and include a wide array of
pronouns. Then she must hide the cards around the room.
Divide the students into four teams. Tell students that they have words hidden around the
room, and they need to hunt for pronouns. Instruct students only to pick up pronouns,
telling them that they will lose a point for any non-pronoun they collect. Allow students to
race about the room searching for pronouns. Give them four to five minutes to complete
their hunt. At the end of the game, count all the pronouns collected by each team,
taking points away for any non-pronoun words gathered in error.
Student Activity
Pronoun Subs tu on
Materials: Various objects (balls, blocks, books, games), pictures of proper nouns (famous
people, places and things), sentence strips, wri ng instruments (pens, pencils, markers,
crayons) and chart paper or a notebook paper.
1.
Place objects and pictures around the room where students can easily see them.
2.
Number each object/picture and have a sentence strip for each object/picture that
either describes or begins a story about the object/picture. For example, with a soccer
ball you might write on the sentence strip, Michael likes to kick the soccer ball.
3.
Let students rewrite the sentence using appropriate pronouns. For example, He likes
to kick it.
4.

Pronoun Find
Materials: Photographs and/or pictures cut out from magazines, wri ng paper, pencils,
pens or markers, etc.
Allow students to choose several pictures and/or photographs. Let them write a sentence
describing the photograph/picture using nouns and one sentence describing the same
photograph/picture using pronouns.
Let students pair up and read their sentences aloud to each other. Have them tell each
other the pronouns that can replace the nouns.
Review
To find out whether the ac vi es that are being conducted are able to develop the
desired skills in the learners, i.e., to take them towards the learning outcome.
Frequent evalua ons will be conducted. Learners will be encouraged to present their
learning, individually or collec vely in a group.
Assessment
The teacher will be making anecdotal records showcasing each students level of
understanding of pronouns from me to me through dierent ac vi es. These anecdotal
records can be used for developing mid-term and annual reports also.

Lesson Plan-c
Topic: Comparing and Forming 4-Digit Numbers
Dura on: 4 Hours
Brief Descrip on: Students already know how to compare and form 3 digit numbers.
In this lesson they will move a step further and learn to compare 4 digit numbers and
arrange them in ascending and descending order. Forming 4 digit numbers from the given
digits is another thing which they will learn in this lesson. The learning objec ves are
successfully achieved through interes ng ac vi es and worksheets where the topic has
been beau fully linked with the theme MY FAMILY.
Learning Objectives
In this lesson the students will be able to:
compare and order 4 digit numbers by comparing first the digit at the thousands
place then the digit at hundreds place followed by the digit at the tens place and
finally the digit at the ones place;
form the greatest and the smallest numbers from the given 4 digit numbers;
Material Required
Board to draw, picture of a crocodiles face and four sets of number cards. Set one has
nine number cards. Each number card has one digit wri en on it from 1-9 and named as
thousands. Rest of the three sets have 10 cards each with digit 0-9 wri en on each card
and named as hundreds, tens and ones respec vely, drawing sheets and colours for all
students, straws (10 X number of students in the class), a pair of scissors for each child
and flash cards with digits 0-9 wri en on them.
Teacher Activity
A Quick Recap
Randomly call out 6 students from the class and ask them to stand in a line/ group. Then
call 9 more and ask them to stand in another line/group.
65
My Family...
Ask others to compare and find out which group is larger.
All would be able to tell that group of 9 is bigger than the group of 6. Ask again if number
12 is bigger than number 16. You may give straws / sweets etc and count to show that the
first group of 12 is lesser than the second group of 16.
Make them observe, analyse and recall that 16 is a bigger number than 12.
Tell them that we can always count and find out which of the digits i.e., one digit or two
digit number is greater or smaller than the other, but for three digit numbers it becomes
dicult and for 4 digit numbers its even more dicult.
Make them recall how to compare two numbers with dierent number of digits. Let them
tell that the one that has more digits is greater number for example 57 is less than 256.
Make them recall the story of the
towards a larger number of fish.
Take the opportunity to use the mouth of the crocodile to compare two numbers with
dierent number of digits.
For example:
66
57
256
57
256
My Family...
Now ask them to compare 35 and 27. Let them answer that the crocodile will open its
mouth towards which side.
Give them more examples to check their previous knowledge ll you are sure that they
can correctly understand the use of the less than sign ( < ) and greater than sign ( > )
Tell the student again that
Give them a few more examples on the board to explain the concept.
Tell them about the diculty in comparing the numbers if both the numbers have the
same number of digits.
Write two 3 digit numbers on the board.
579
358
Let them observe that both the numbers have three digits. Help them recall that now we
need to look at the digits at the hundreds place. Between the two numbers the number
having a greater digit at the hundreds place is bigger.
H
5
3
T
7
5
O
9
8
67
My Family...
In the above example 5 and 3 are at the hundreds place. Since 5 is greater than 3 so 579
is greater than 358.
579
>
358
Now, if we have two numbers with the same digits at the hundreds place we need to look
at the digit at the tens place for those numbers. The number having a greater digit at the
tens place is greater.
E.g.
743
<
778
If the digits at the hundreds place as well as at the tens place are the same, we look at the
digit at the ones place/again.
896
892
Both 896 and 892 have the same digits at the hundreds and tens place. Only the digit at
the ones place is dierent. The number with the greater digit at the ones place will be
greater.
68
My Family...
H
When comparing the digit at the ones place we find that 6 is greater than 2. Therefore
896
>
892
Some mes if we find that both the numbers have the same digits at the hundreds, tens,
and ones place, we say that both the numbers are equal.
378
378
All the digits in both the numbers are the same. They are called equal to each other.

Lets Form Rules to Compare
Tell them that well follow the same rules with the 4 digit numbers. Help them make a
golden rule for 4 digit numbers. Ask them to fill the blank.
69
My Family...
Every 3 digit number is greater than any ____ digit or ____ digit number. They will recall
that the answer is 1 and 2.
Similarly, for 4 digit number the rule is:
Rule 1: Every 4 digit number is greater than any 1 digit, 2 digit or 3 digit numbers.
E.g.
Activity 2:
I Can Form 4 Digit Numbers
Ask the students to form pairs. Let the first pair come to the table and the first student
picks 4 cards from each of the set and forms a four digit number. Make the second student
do the same. They disclose their four digit numbers and the one with the greater number
wins. For example: the cards picked out by the first student reads as:
70
My Family...
Th
In this case second student wins as his card at the thousands place (7) has a greater digit
than the card of the first student at thousands place (5).
The teacher con nues this game ll all the students get a chance.
Worksheet Number 4 and 5 will be done a er this ac vity.
Make the students realise that most of the things in nature have an order. Tell them
that in their family, their grandfather has to be older than their father and the father is
definitely older than them.
Numbers for example
8000 > 7000 > 6000
Take up an ac vity to make the concept of ascending and descending order clear.
Activity 3:

Provide each student with a drawing sheet and ask them to write the names of their
family members and their rela onship with them. Once all the students have completed
the task, ask them to draw them to arrange them once in the increasing order and then in
decreasing order of their age.
For example:
Family Members:
Grandfather
Brother
72
Mother
Father
My Family...
Explain Increasing order is going up and is also known as Ascending order and Decreasing
order is like going down and is also known as Descending order. Show the picture of a
slide.
Elaborate that in ascending order numbers are arranged from the smallest to greatest
and in descending order numbers are arranged from the greatest to smallest.
Ascending order
54, 78, 89, 190, 505, 839, 1467, 5682, 7579, 8670, 9740,
9999
Descending order
9871, 8763, 6542, 4327, 2220, 1091, 705, 587, 376, 56, 43,
22, 11, ..0
Tell them a trick to remember D Decreasing Descending Down
Activity 4
Cut n Create
Give each student 10 straws and a pair of scissors. Each student cuts the straws into
dierent sizes. On a horizontal base, paste five straws in an ascending order of their
lengths and remaining five straws in the descending order of their lengths. For example:
73
My Family...
Ascending order
Descending order
Now the students have the knowledge of comparing and ordering of numbers, conduct
an ac vity forming the greatest and smallest numbers from the given digits.
Activity 5
Lets Create Numbers
Make number slips with digits 1 9 ( 3 each). Divide the class into 5/6 groups depending
upon the class size. For example for a class of 25 students, five groups are formed.
Ask each group to randomly select 8 number slips and rearrange the digits to form the
smallest and the greatest four digit number.
Ask the students to arrange the slips in descending order. Wait ll they arrange.
Ask them to separate the first four cards from the le side to get the greatest four digit
number.
Greatest number: 9876
The smallest four digit number can be obtained star ng from the right by taking the last
four cards.
Smallest number: 2245
74
My Family...
Take some more examples so that children are clear with this concept.
Now add 5 cards of digit 0 to the previous collec on of cards. Ask the students to pick up
this me four cards.
Make them form the greatest four digit numbers from these cards. Help them recall that
to do this they need to first arrange the digits of the cards in descending order as given
Therefore, the greatest four digit number is 8520. While forming the smallest number
arrange the digits in ascending order as
Now help them no ce that the above number formed is not a four digit number but
a three digit number. In this case tell them that we need to interchange the first two
digits.
Activity 6
Spot the Greatest and the Smallest
Divide the class into groups of ten children each. Each group will play turn by turn.
Distribute flash cards of numbers 0-9 to the first group. Place four stools/ chairs/ tables
75
My Family...
in the room labelled as Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Ones. Call out four digits and ask
the students with the relevant number card to rearrange themselves to form the greatest
four digit number and sit on the respec ve chair to form the number.
For example:
If digits called out are 3, 7, 8 and 5. They form 8753 as the greatest number. Now ask them
to form the smallest four digit number. They rearrange themselves and form 3578 as the
smallest number.
3, 7, 8, 5

Activity 1
My Team of Numbers
Make the students ready for the ac vity. Randomly give the number cards with a unique
number wri en on it to each child. (If there are 25 students in the class, you must have
78
My Family...
25 cards with numbers 1, 2, 3 ..25, wri en on each card respec vely). Give cards with
numbers 1 and 2 to two students respec vely who can become the captain of their teams.
Give cutouts of dierent shapes to the students according to the number on their card. (A
child with number 19 will get 19 cutouts) on their seats. Make two teams Team A with the
group captain as the child who has the Number 1 card and Team B with the group captain
as the child with the Number 2 card.
Let the captain of Team A (with the number card 1) start calling out from the number 1
followed by the captain of Team B calling out 2. Let them alternately count in a manner
that team As captain calls out numbers 1, 3, 5, 7.. and Team Bs captain calls out
numbers 2,4, 6, 8The child with the number card 3 goes to Team A and the one with
number card 4 to Team B and so on in such a manner that two teams are formed in the
class.
1, 3, 5, 7, 9...

For number 10
Take this opportunity to introduce the word PAIRS. Tell them that a group of 2 is called a
PAIR. We have a pair of eyes, a pair of hands. Let them come up with other examples like
a pair of legs, a pair of feet, a pair of shoes, a pair of socks, a pair of scissors and so on.
A er they have finished, ask the members of Team A if all their shapes are in pairs. They
will all say NO. Ask Team B the same. All the members of Team B will have the shapes
in pairs.
Tell them that: If we are able to pair all objects then the number of objects is EVEN.
If we are not able to pair all the objects and one object is le then the number of objects
is ODD.
So 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 are all EVEN.
And 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are all ODD.

Activity 4
How Do I Dis nguish?
Ask the students of Team A to stand now and show their cards. Make the students
observe the last digit of the numbers. The last digits are 1, 3, 5 , 7 and 9. Repeat the same
for the members of Team B. Help the children observe that the last digit in the cards of
the members of Team B are 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Reinforce this fact by assis ng them to form
rules.

Topic: Ideas about Rela onships, Concept of Similari es between Rela onships,
Hereditary Features, etc.
Dura on: 4 hours 30 minutes
Brief Descrip on: The teacher recapitulates what a family is and emphasises that the
family is the very first social group students learn about. They learn certain truths about
the world, their faith, and each other through the safe and loving confines and filter of a
family. The types of family are also touched upon. Later the discussion focuses on what work
do the family members perform? Encourage students to respond. The teacher explains
and appreciates that just as we all work together to achieve our goals, similarly, family
members also work together to accomplish their household and other tasks. Students
develop their understanding on how their families func on and renew their apprecia on
for various family members. The teacher further focuses on how a healthy community is
built on strong family rela onships and there are a rich variety of interpersonal skills that
contribute to healthy families.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to:
state examples of the dierent rela onships they come across in their lives;
Material Required
Scrapbook, pencil, a map of the world displayed on a bulle n board, coloured s ckers,
big enough for a childs name and the name of the selected country, Index cards, yarn,
thumbnails (op onal) crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Family Member Chart.
Children develop their understanding of how their families func on and renew their

The teacher asks the students to imagine about their family and find members of the
family they learnt about in the previous week. Elicit response from the students. The
teacher lists the responses and explains about them one by one as follows:
106
My Family...
Grandmother: A parents mother
Grandson: A childs son
Granddaughter: A childs daughter
Cousins: Two people that share the same grandparent(s)
Uncle: fathers brother, mothers brother, fathers sisters husband, mothers sisters
husband
Aunt: fathers sister, mothers sister, fathers brothers wife, mothers brothers wife
Nephew: sisters son, brothers son, wifes brothers son, wifes sisters son, husbands
brothers son, husbands sisters son
Niece: sisters daughter, brothers daughter, wifes brothers daughter, wifes sisters
daughter, husbands brothers daughter, husbands sisters daughter
Also the teacher at this point of me explains about the family name. A family name is part
of a persons name (mostly used as the last name). It is a type of surname indica ng the
family to which the person belongs to. The use of family names is widespread in cultures
around the world. Each culture has its own rules as to how these names are applied and
used. She explains that in many cultures (notably Euro-American, Middle Eastern, South
Asian, and African) the family name is normally the last part of a persons name. In other
cultures, the family name comes first.
The teacher asks the students to observe their family members in real and collect a few
photographs of their family members and a few close rela ons as per convenience. She
explains that they will be surprised to find marked resemblances in physical features such
as the shape of nose, eyes, hands, feet, forehead, colour and texture of hair and many
other observable traits.
Similari es between members of a family are due to heredity. Heredity means passing
down of characteris cs from parents to children. Dierences between members of
the same family are due to dierent combina ons of parental characteris cs. These
dierences are termed varia ons. Heredity and varia on are due to genes and gene
combina ons and study of heredity is termed Gene cs.
107

Further the teacher emphasises that similarity can be seen in twins too. There can be
twins who look exactly the same Iden cal twins. And twins who dont look exactly alike
Uniden cal twins. Response from students on the similari es and dierences in the
facial features etc to be enlisted on the board for their reference.
The teacher emphasises that hereditary factors are the ones that make us resemble
with our other members of the family. Elicit responses from the students. The teacher
con nues with the discussion and further explains that a few diseases are also inherited
from our elders. These include - heart diseases, lung diseases, baldness, obesity, graying
of hair etc.

Material Required: A large piece of paper, not less than 12x16, pictures, crayons,
markers, pencil, an outline of a shield or any other cutout and glue (op onal).
Students can begin to think about their family history and their own lives by making a
family shield.
The teacher discusses what a family shield is? Then brainstorm with children to get ideas
that could represent their family histories or lives. A few examples are:
Any other material they got from their parents, grandparents or other family members.
The teacher takes a large piece of paper, traces the shield or draws an outline of any
shape (such as an oval). Then she divides the shape into three or four equal sec ons. She
instructs the students to draw a picture that represents an idea about their family, in each
sec on. Some children may prefer to cut out pictures from magazines or use a family
photograph. Pictures or a printout from the computer is another op on. Laminate the
finished shields, if possible. Have children share and compare their shields.

Lesson Plan-d
Topic: Sensi vity towards the Old and Physically Challenged People
Dura on: 4 Hours 30 Minutes
Brief Descrip on: Why is there a large awareness on how to take care of elders and
physically challenged people these days? The teacher focusses on the cultural dierences
taking place. She compares tradi onal with the modern era sta ng that tradi onally care
for elders has been the responsibility of family members and was provided from within
the extended family home. Increasingly in modern socie es, elder care is now being
provided by the state or charitable ins tu ons. The reasons for this change include :
the increase in the popula on of educated women who work outside the home.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to:
understand the significance of old people and physically impaired people as the
member of society;
Although these changes ini ally aected the European and North American countries
first, it is now increasingly aec ng Asian countries also.
A er sta ng the present scenario, the focus, is on how we as children small members
of the family can help our elders- the aged and physically challenged people in our close
vicinity.
The teacher explains that old people need our support, they demand a en on and first
of all need our me. At this age they go through certain chronic disorders. Many elderly
113

pa ents have to give up independent living because they become forge ul. They forget
to visit the restroom, to take medicine, to drink, or to see the doctor. She states a few
such situa ons and tell the students how to deal with them. For example-

5. Is Experiencing Increasing Levels of Memory Loss.
Display large direc on signs with easy-to-follow instruc ons. Brush Your Teeth... Turn
o the Stove... Keep the Door Locked. Get a large wall calendar so that they can check
o the days. To help insure that medica ons are not forgo en or doubled, make a chart
that they can ck o each me they take their pills. For their telephone, get one that has
a one-bu on dialing with a photo and name of the person next to the number. The use
of lists, tape recorders, crossword puzzles, trivia and computer games can help exercise
memory also.
6. Prefers to Stay in Bed or do Nothing- Wai ng to Die.
This could be an ulterior mo ve to get more a en on, or it may be a sign of depression.
Carefully evaluate whats going on. Drop in unexpectedly a few mes and observe their
level of ac vity. Spend more me with them.
7. Refuses to Allow a Cleaning Person into their Home.
Have some other elderly person say that the home must be cleaned immediately for
health and safety reasons.
8. Gets Furious if Something doesnt Happen at a Specific Time.
Avoid telling them a definite me of when you will do something, or when something will
happen. Give a broad window, be vague, and say that you will try to handle their request
soon. Never commit to a specific me because they may tend to become obsessed over
it. This way, it will be a pleasant experience to tell them that you have accomplished what
they asked for, rather than disappoin ng them that you didnt have the me for them.
Ac vity 2: Watch Time
A er explaining the above stated situa ons ask the students to view two videos on
YouTube- explaining how the new technology is also working towards helping the old
people live longer and live be er.

Lesson PlanTopic: Notes and Its Values
Dura on: 3 Hours
Brief Descrip on: Music is a combina on of dierent sounds, and sounds are in dierent
length .To show the length of a sound, certain symbols are used in music, which are called
notes.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will able to:
Material Required
Musical instruments, audio player, sound recorder and songs.
Teacher Activity
High notes and low notes.
Two clefs are commonly used, one for the high notes-the G or the treble clef and the
other for the low notes-the F or bass clef.
The treble clef, originally resembling a capital G, fixes the second line as the note G just to
the right of the middle of the keyboard.
123
My Family...
The bass clef fixes the fourth line of the note as the note F just to the le of the middle of
the key board.
Bass clef
Semitone
A semitone is the distance between two adjacent notes, whether black or white, but
some white note have black one between them. Thus there are semitone between all the
Es and Fs and between all the Bs and Cs and also between any note and its adjacent
black note.
The sign sharp raises the note that comes immediately a er it one semitone and the sign
flat lowers a note one semitone. The sign natural cancels a sharp or a flat.
Octave
Distance between two same note nearest to one another is called an octave.
Swaras
A Swara is a musical note or tone. Natural or pure Swara is termed Shudh Swara. When
all seven swaras of a scale are natural or pure, they form a major scale.
There are more than seven swaras. Two swaras Sa & Pa are never raised or lowered. They
are never sharp or flat and are always shudh. They are unchanging, and are called achal.
The other swaras of saptak are unsteady. They are thus called chal or changeable,
124
My Family...
Some swaras are komal (So or flat). Pure swaras has been changed by being lowered in
pitch, e.g. Re, Ga, Dha, Ni.
A Swara can also be raised in pitch from its pure tone.Such a swara is Tivra or sharp, e.g.
Ma.
Vikrit
When a note that was shudh is raised or lowered it is then called Vikrit.
Saptak
A group of seven swaras is called saptak. The seven ascending swaras of saptak do indeed
parallel the ascending pitches of the western scale.
Types of saptak

Lesson Plan-a
Topic: String of Paper Figures
Dura on: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
Brief Descrip on: Learning to cut a con nuous string of figures
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to:
Material Required
Paper, scissors, pencil, markers, glazed paper and glue
Teacher Activity
Watch the Video-Easy Paper Cra and Paper People Chain, downloaded from youtube.
Demonstrate the cra of cu ng a con nuous string of figures. (You can also refer to Unit
1 annexure 2 for a varia on of the paper doll string)
Direct them to draw each member of their family on each of the connected figures.
Encourage them to add features to these people, such as, spectacles, pony tails, skirts,
etc. with coloured papers, markers and other colouring material.
Student Activity
Fold a rectangular piece of paper in half so that the two shorter sides are together.
Fold the resul ng piece of paper again to make a zigzag fold of the paper.
Take your pencil and draw an outline of a person on the first flap of the zigzag paper.
(Refer diagram). It is very important to make sure that your drawing touches both edges
of the paper where the folds are. Otherwise, when you cut out your design, the shapes
will not be con nuous and hence your figures will not be connected.
133
My Family...
Cut out the shape, while the paper is s ll folded. Depending on how many mes you
fold your paper, you should have 4 to 5 layers. Do not cut the places, where the shape
meets the edges of the paper. If you do, your shapes will not be connected and you wont
get a string. Now carefully unfold the paper. You should have a string of figures holding
hands.
Draw members of your family on each of the figures. Add details such as, spectacles, shirt,
pants, skirts, pony tails, cap, etc. with colour papers, markers, etc.
Cut a shape of a house with brown paper and paste the family on it.
Review
Students will present their family in front of their classmates and talk about each one of
them.
Home task: Try cu ng out dierent string designs on the paper. For example try a
bu erfly, a flower or a star.

My Family...
wanted to sing, but she had no me, and she turned her song into work. So hungry were
these li le birds that it kept both parents busy feeding them. Away each one flew. The
moment the li le birds heard their wings flu ering among the leaves, five li le yellow
mouths flew open wide, so that nothing could be seen but five yellow mouths!
Can anybody be happier? said the father bird to the mother bird. We will live in this
tree always, for there is no sorrow here. It is a tree that always bears joy.
Soon the li le birds were big enough to fly, and great was their parents joy to see them
leave the nest and sit crumpled up upon the branches. It was a great me, the two old
birds talking and cha ng to make the young ones go alone! In a li le me they had
learned to use their own wings, and they flew away and away, and found their own food
and built their own nests and sang their own songs with joy.
Then the old birds sat silent and looked at each other, un l the mother bird said, Why
dont you sing? And he answered, I cant sing - I can only think and think. What are
you thinking of? I am thinking how everything changes. The leaves are falling o from
this tree, and soon there will be no roof over our heads; the flowers are all going; last
night there was a frost; almost all the birds have flown away. Something calls me, and I
feel as if I would like to fly away.
Let us fly away together!
Then they arose silently, and, li ing themselves far up in the air, they looked to the north.
Far away they saw the snow coming. They looked to the south. There they saw flowers
and green leaves. All day, and all night they flew and flew, ll they found a land where
there was no winter - where flowers always blossom, and birds always sing.

Piano
Piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It is one of the most popular
instruments in the world. Widely used in classical and jazz music for solo performances,
ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment. Piano is also very popular as an aid for
composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and o en expensive, the pianos versa lity
and ubiquity have made it one of the worlds most familiar musical instruments.
Pressing a key on the pianos keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel
strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to con nue vibra ng at their resonant
frequency. These vibra ons are transmi ed through a bridge to a sounding board that
more eciently couples the acous c energy to the air. The sound would otherwise be
no louder than that directly produced by the strings. When the key is released, a damper
stops the strings vibra on. Pianos are considered chordophones.
The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian word for the instrument
(which in turn derives from the previous terms gravicembalo col piano e forte and
fortepiano). The musical terms piano and forte mean quiet and loud, and in this
context refers to the varia ons in volume of sound the instrument produces in response
to a pianists touch on the keys: the greater a key presss velocity, the greater the force of
the hammer hi ng the string(s), and the louder the note produced

Whether the black key is flat or sharp depends on what scale you are playing in.
Bass clef
The bass clef is also known as the F clef and looks like this:
The Bass Clef has two dots, above and below the second line from the top. The dots tell
us that this line is F.
166
My Family...
The note names in Bass Clef are:
Middle C is the first ledger line above the sta in Bass Clef.
The four inner spaces ACEG by the phrases All Cows Eat Grass or All Cars Eat Gas.
on the master sta. See where the natural sign was used. It took the B flat note and made
it a B natural.
167
My Family...
Here is also one thing to remember when you are moving from one measure to the
next:
A note that has been changed by a sharp or flat symbol will only last for that measure. It
changes back to a natural note when once again seen in the next measure unless specificly
changed by another symbol.
Key signatures also can make all notes for sharps or flats consistant for the whole song.
The symbols will be at the first of the song and each line there a er. So when you see this
type of nota on you know that all notes will be sharp or flat for those notes.
168
My Family...
Here we take a look at the notes on a keyboard that is commonly known as sharps and
flats.
So how in music theory sharps and flats are defined or created? The simple way to look
at this is to say a note is sharped by adding a half step up the scale, and a note will become
flat when it goes down a half step on the scale. Lets take a closer look.
Sharps
As can be seen on the keyboard we show 5 sharps, the C#, D#, F#, G#, and A#.
You can see that the E and B notes dont have a sharp. There is however, a sharp note
associated with them. The E# is the same as the F note, and B# is the same as the C
note.
Flats
As well, you can see on the same keyboard we show 5 flats, the Db, Eb, Gb, Ab, and Bb.
169
My Family...
You can see that the F and C notes dont have a flat. There is however, a flat note associated
with them. The Fb is the same as the E note, and Cb is the same as the B note.
See where we used both the E# and B# and did not duplicate any note names. If we had
used F and F# the notes would have been correct but the names would not. We would
not have had an E in the scale.
Now be aware there are altered scales that will violate this rule for convinence, but in
general we can apply this concept to the basic theory.

information and therefore, add extra meaning to a sentence, which is not
given by the main verb.
