Lesson 39 My Favourite Day of the Week Level One

My Favourite Day of the Week.

Sunday is my favourite day of the week.
There is no school, and no college or work.
I like to wake up late on Sundays, so I don’t eat breakfast.
I have lunch with my family.
The rest of the day, I watch TV, meet friends, and go out to eat chaat.
I make sure that my homework is finished on Saturday,
so that Sunday is a day of rest and enjoyment.
I have heard that there is something called
the-Monday-morning-blues. I am going to find out what that means!

 (A) New Phrase: ‘Monday morning blues’
      ‘Blues’ means ‘sad’ feeling (not the colour blue)

Please answer the following questions in full sentences:
 1. Do you ever get the Monday morning blues?
 2. What is it that you look forward to when the new week starts?
 3. Is Sunday really a day of rest for you? If not, then please explain why.

Lesson 10. The Wonders of Nature

Lesson 10              The Wonders of Nature Mentor Note:  Please send your mentee the entire lesson plan, except for this note.  Please introduce/reinforce the words that are in bold. Please use these as spelling words too. As usual, ask them questions about the text.  The second exercise is a story writing exercise. We have purposely chosen random words, so the stories can be more creative.  If you think your mentee will not be able to attempt writing a very short story, please ask him/ her to make sentences  with  the words.  Please decide if your mentee can do the grammar exercise in both present and past tense. If they are beginners they can stick to the present tense. Enjoy the poem!  The Story of a Butterfly A butterfly lays a tiny green egg on a leaf. The egg sticks to the leaf, even in the wind and rain. Inside the egg is a little caterpillar. After a week it begins to move, and splits...

Lesson 24 My City, My Responsibility

My City, My Responsibility When I take a look around me, I don’t always like what I see and hear. The garbage on the streets. The paan stains on walls. The smell of urine on the roadside.  The maddening traffic. The non-stop honking of cars, trucks and buses. People pushing each other, and refusing to stand in queues at ticket counters and bank counters. The list is endless. But rather than blame others, I have decided that I CAN take responsibility for my city! How? By doing little things, and setting an example for others. For instance, I CAN make sure that I never throw garbage on the road. I CAN wait patiently for the pedestrian ’s light to turn green before I cross the road. I CAN tell the owner of the momo stall to keep a trash-can near his stall. I CAN request my neighbours and friends to use their vehicle horn only when necessary. I CAN do so much for my city. This list, too, is endless. All I have to do is take responsibility for my city, a...
