What did we cover in the class?

Story (Anecdote)

Theme: Paropakaaram

Story: Sibi chakravarti's attempt to save the life of a dove by donating flesh from his own body

The concept of paropakaram was discussed first and it was explained with the story

Core Activity

Results of mid term exam

The results of mid term exam were distributed. Unfortunately, those who missed the mid term exam were not either present today or not ready to take the mid term exam. Those who were not able to take the exam and those who got lower score will be able to take a compensation exercise. They get the credit only if they submit the exercise and their score depends on the correct answers in the given answer sheet. The scores are given as follows.

Those who missed the exam - need to complete the mid term exam paper (see the link below) without choice - for a maximum credit of 60 marks

Those who got between 60 and 80 - can add 10 more marks by finishing the exam paper without choice

Those who got between 40 and 60 - can add 20 more marks by finishing the exam paper without choice

The last date for submitting the compensation exercise is January 29, 2017. No late submissions will be taken.

Vocabulary

In the update for last class, I posted a sheet for vocabulary related to fruits. Those words were discussed.

Spoken Telugu

3 students came up and described (in complete Telugu) about their holiday experiences OR the fruit they like and why. We are going to continue this next week with close to 10 students trying to do the same. Help is provided as needed to make it entirely in Telugu and not as a mix of Telugu & English

Homework

For those who need, here is the link to the mid term exam paper. Please take a printout and have the kids answer the complete exam paper.

This is the compensation exercise, as described above. Please remember. The kids need to say the numbers in Telugu in front of the parents and parents need to check in the areas opposite to the numbers to confirm that the kids did that.

I would highly encourage students to practice their topic for speech for next class. They can choose from one of the topics below

     What did I do in the holidays  OR

     What is the fruit that I like and why?

Plan for next class
