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.

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.
