"Those who speak rude cannot sell Honey"
But
"Those who speak Sweet can sell Chillies"

Let them do the thinking and you do the living.
6) Successful relations don't depend on How Good Understanding we have

Q.1. Read the extract and complete the activities given below.(13)
The next thing Moru Dada wanted to do was spray some pesticide on the plants. He claimed that it would give a higher yield. This was something we did not want to do. We were clear that we would not use any chemicals and tried to explain it to him. He reacted as if we had suggested hara-kiri. It took a lot of convincing to ensure that Moru Dada and his friends did not use any chemicals on the farm. They refused to understand how crops could grow without sprays. Contrary to what everyone had told us, nature did her job and she needed no bribes to get the work done. Soon it was harvest time and we managed a respectable 300 kilograms. An awful lot of moong and with it a lot of confidence. Now I was certain the land was fertile and that it was possible to grow crops without chemicals. It was a major morale booster. The Scent of Rice The first year I was late for the rice-sowing season and had to resort to growing the GR4 variety that was short term and recommended by the agricultural officers at Kosbad. The next year we decided that we would start early and try to find some good traditional variety of rice to grow. We had read about traditional varieties of rice and knew that they did not require very high inputs of fertilizers. These varieties were also quite strong and resisted pests. We were sure that it was this type of rice that would grow well in our farm where we did not use any chemicals at all. Our previous year’s experience and low yield had taught us a lesson and we were sure we would not plant hybrids this year. In April 2005, we started to look for a good variety of traditional rice. It was one of our neighbours in the village, a businessman from Mumbai who owned land, who suggested that we plant a local scented variety of rice. Most of the farmers in and around the village of Peth had switched over to hybrids. The younger generation of farmers thought I was crazy to ask for the ‘desi’ variety, as they called it. My regular visits to the villages around searching for a good traditional variety also did not yield any results and we were almost giving up hope. |

Eight years have passed Since I placed my cherry seed in the grass. “Must have a tree of my own,” I said, And watered it once and went to bed And forgot; but cherries have a way of growing, Though no one's caring very much or knowing. And suddenly that summer near the end of May, I found a tree had come to stay. It was very small, five months child, Lost in the tall grass running wild. Goats ate the leaves, the grass cutter scythe Split it apart and a monsoon blight Shrivelled the slender stem...... Even so, Next spring I watched three new shoots grow, The young tree struggle, upward thrust Its arms in a fresh fierce lust For light and air and sun. |

Types of Characters
Types of Characters:-
1)Protagonist and Antagonist:- A story needs a central character, or hero, or protagonist. Often this main character must oppose a villain or antagonist. Both are major characters in the story. The fiction writer must spend a great deal of time developing these types of characters by using the techniques of characters description, action by the character, and dialogue.
2)Major and Minor Characters:- Stories include major characters, such as the protagonist and antagonist. Stories often include minor characters. These are characters who the fiction writer defines by a single idea or quality. These types of characters are necessary for the story, but they are not important. These are secondary characters to the story.
3) Flat and Round Characters:- A character can also be identified in terms of flat or round characters. A flat character is a minor character in the story. This type of character doesn’t change as the story progresses.
Round characters, on the other hand, must deal with conflict in the story and are change by it. The writer develops these types of characters by using character descriptions and dialogue. Round characters are all the major characters of the story, including the hero and villain.
4) Static and Dynamic Characters:- Another way of defining a character is in terms of “static character” or “dynamic character.” A static character is a minor character in the story and plays a supporting role to the main character. Static characters don’t change as the story progresses. The fiction writer spends little time developing static characters.
In contrast, a dynamic character is a round character. This type of character grows and develops as the story advances. The fiction writer spends a great deal of time developing these types of characters. They are believable and can be memorable.

Review : Yuvakbharati English Std XI
The newly introduced English Yuvakbharti Std XI book is not just a textbook but a course book cum Activity workbook. The very design of the cover page gives idea of rich content inside. The book opens with preface addressing students. Dr. Sunil Magar, Director of M. S.

A message for teachers ‘Before We Teach….’ is a very good initiative to get the idea about how to deal with the course book. Expectations about the competencies are much higher but essential at this level to cope up with modern era. Basic skills LSRWC are much focussed. Language study also is given prime importance in the course book. Ice Breakers in activity forms encourage students to participate in learning process and lead towards the anticipation of the content. Introduction of the writer, speaker, poet and playwright is the unique feature brought back in the course book. The photos of the writer and poets add effect in the intro of them. It helps to understand the lessons, poems and scenes of dramas. Glossaries given on right/left sides with some activities to complete is also a welcome drive. Space given there can be used by students to note down meaning of new words given by teachers. Considering the fact that every page has margin, the length of the content seems to be more. The important word / expressions are given in bold letters. Brainstorming part is creative expecting students’ participation. It has a lot of activities to be done.

If I am teaching a poem how would I go?
If I am teaching a poem how would I go? Poem is for enjoyment and learning also. It is meant for beauty and adds the feeling s of interest.The students enjoys the beauty of the poem for the longer period of time. We teachers might be remembering some of the beautiful poems we learnt long back.The credit of this goes to our teachers and also our active participation in the classroom teaching. Let's decide teaching steps for maximum learning of a poem. 1. The teacher should introduce the title and tell its meaning. The students should be attracted to go through the poem . 2. The teacher should read the poem with proper pronunciation, intonation and stress. 3. He should ask the students to read it loudly. May be one or two students to increase students' confidence. The teacher would ask them for silent reading for comprehension. 4. The teacher would introduce difficult words, some time give hints and let the students learn freely at their own. 5.The teacher may tell the summary in simple possible words or ask the students to tell the contents by asking simple questions. 5. The teacher should take each activity one by one according to the format. The teacher should help them to discover the answers. 6. One important thing is the teacher should give clues, key points etc. to make the students feel that they are able answer at their own. This sort of feeling of the students makes their learning easy. The overall participation of students make the learning easy.

Punctually at midday, he opened his bag and spread out his professional equipment, which consisted of a dozen cowrie shells, a square piece of cloth with obscure mystic charts on it, a notebook and a bundle of palmyra writing. His forehead was resplendent with sacred ash and his eyes sparkled with a sharp abnormal gleam which was really an outcome of a continual searching look for customers, but which his simple clients took to be a prophetic light and felt comforted. The power of his eyes was considerably enhanced by their position—placed as they were between the painted forehead and the dark whiskers which streamed down his cheeks: even a half-wit's eyes would sparkle in such a setting. To crown the effect he wound a saffron-colored' turban around his head. This color scheme never failed. People were attracted to him as bees are attracted to cosmos or dahlia stalks. He sat under the boughs of a spreading tamarind tree which flanked a path running through the Town Hall Park. It was a remarkable place in many ways: a surging crowd was always moving up and down this narrow road morning till night. A variety of trades and occupations was represented all along its way: medicine-sellers, sellers of stolen hardware and junk, magicians and, above all, an auctioneer of cheap cloth, who created enough din all day to attract the whole town. Next to him in vociferousness came a vendor of fried groundnuts who gave his ware a fancy name each day, calling it Bombay Ice-Cream one day, and on the next Delhi Almond, and on the third Raja’s Delicacy, and so on and so forth, and people flocked to him. |
