What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

1. Padyam - ఇంతింతై, వటుఁడింతయై revision

2. We learnt about some famous panDagalu and in which month, on which tithi we get those panDagalu. This exercise was conducted as a fun exercise with Kahoot. 

3. We learnt about family relationships through another Kahoot exercise. The reference can be found in this document

Please note: The next 3 Sundays are holidays to Prajna due to Diwali and Thanksgiving. The next Telugu class would be on December 6. Please stay tuned for further instruction through either email or WhatsApp group (or both) for further information about mid term exam

Plan for next week

1.  Midterm exam review (due to COVID situation, the exam will be a group of offline exercises. As mentioned above, I shall provide further information)

2. Bharatiyula panDagalu - deeper dive

3. Family relationships in Telugu - deeper dive

Homework

1. Those students who did not send their voice recording for moduga puvvu assignment, please complete it. Mid term exam will have a similar exercise so this will be a good warm up for the exam

2. If you have not done so already, translate the story (in the last class update) from English to Telugu. This contains all the 4 types of statements and is a good exercise. If you cannot do it all, do as much as you can. Discuss with your parents to ensure that you are translating (not dubbing). Midterm exam will have a similar exercise.
