Std.10 English-U(III)-Ch(2) - The Danger of a Single Story by Mahmud K.

Dear teachers and students,

The lesson The Danger of a Single Story in X standard English textbook is a speech by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a young and highly popular Nigerian writer. The speech was presented at an official TED conference in July 2009.

"Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding". (Recorded at TEDGlobal, July 2009, Oxford, UK.)

The audio file of the speech is attached herewith and the video is available here: https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story     

Students can enjoy it going through the text simultaneously with the real voice of its authoress.

Thanks and regards,

Mahmud K

Std.8 English-U(II)-Ch(1) - A Shipwrecked Sailor - Narrative

Narrate the story of Velasco as if you were Velasco's friend.

Velasco and his four friends were sailing through the Caribbean Sea. Suddenly a huge storm hit the ship and in no moments the ship was torn into pieces. When Velasco gained his conscience ,he was in the middle of the ocean. There was no sign of the ship anywhere. He thought he was utterly alone. But a couple of minutes later, he began to hear shouts nearby. He spotted Julio Amador Carabello, the tall well-built officer who was yelling at someone.Velasco felt relieved because he realized that at least he was not alone in the dangerous sea. He was holding onto a crate. Suddenly he spotted two liferafts at the crest of a dancing wave. After what seemed to be a struggle for sometime, he caught hold of the raft and in the meantime, one of the rafts disappeared. It was by then he saw three of his mates trying to reach the raft. It was Castillo and Carabello. The former was clinging on to the neck of Carabello. On the  other side, it was Rengifo, who was holding his headphones aloft, a confident young man. A few yards away was,Ramon Herrera, the happy young man from Arjona.Velasco was clueless as to whom to save first. He saw himself paddling furiously towards Herrera .But couldn't save him because of a heavy wind. Herrera was not seen any longer. Carbello and Castillo were just three metres away and were struggling to reach the raft. But a gigantic wave lifted the raft and tossed it. When he came down, he couldn't see the two.The only one who was swimming confidently was Rengifo. But the weather was tough and he couldn't paddle a little. Rengifo, after swimming for a long time showed signs of exhaustion. He signalled Velasco to come near to him. The wind was blowing heavily and his reply  didnt reach the fatigued man. In his struggle to stay alive Rengifo didn't give up. He ducked under water to prevent the waves from sweeping him away. There was a moment when Rengifo was too near to touch the oar. But unfortunately ,Rengifo gave up. Velasco saw his hands sinking down for ever in the water. A desperate Velasco remained in the water searching for more of people .But none came up. It was getting hot out there in the middle of the sea. The sun was metallic hot. Velasco figured out that the shipwreck claimed the lives just in ten minutes .He calculated that the rescue team could take at least three or four hours to reach him. Sitting on the life raft, waiting for the rescue team was something beyond words. He, without food and water and some bruises tried to resign to his fate. Alone in the middle of the sea, he was completely uncertain as to what to do. Fighting solitude was a daring act. Velasco started counting his belongings. It was to distract himself from the stray thoughts that haunt him.

Attempt a possible character sketch of Velasco

Alejandro Louis Velasco is the narrator of the lesson the shipwrecked sailor. He is the lone survivor of the disastrous shipwreck that claimed a lot of lives. A young and brave  sailor ,Velasco was on board the ship with some of his shipmates. He chanced to get hold of the life raft and felt easy in the beginning as he saw many of his shipmates around him in the sea trying to stay afloat amid the cargo ,a few yards away . He could easily recognize the voices of his friends and keep their appearance and manners to his heart. He is an amiable man who remembers each of his close friends. A man of courage ,Velasco wished earnestly to help his friends and he struggled in vain to reach them.Velasco remains courageous through out the tough survival. It took ten days for the rescue team to reach him. A brave Velasco managed to remain alive with an unfailing spirit and with equal confidence.

I hope someone will kindly consider my concerns and give a clarification.

Sir,

      My name is XYZ. I am working as an HSA  English. Now there are only 8 divisions in my school. 7 divisions are alloted to me. One division has been allotted to the SS teacher. There are 2 divisions in 10th Std. So extra classes are also there in the morning and evening sessions. As far as I am concerned it's a work load. When I asked to other English teachers I could learn that the excess periods in their schools are handled by teachers of Science/Maths etc. But I don't know whether there is any rule which impose English periods on other teachers. If there is a rule I can confidently present it before the staff. There are teachers with not more than 4 or 5 periods per day. 

 

Why a second English post is allowed only for the 9th division when it shares equal score with Social Science, Maths etc. I hope someone will kindly consider my concerns and give a clarification.

Faithfully,

XYZ
