ENGLISH

A . Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility
into flames of achievement !
This year’s Summer assignment for English is focused on Girl Power !
Biasis and discrimination exist in society all around us ; the students of 8th
grade are determined to spread awareness that there is nothing really stopping
girls from becoming who they want to be and to remove the world’s impaired
vision regarding girls.
Choose to do any one of the following with reference to the book ‘Go, Girl,
Go!’
Beyond Boundaries by Deepa Agarwal.
1. Make a colourful collage on a standard A3 sheet using photographs,
headlines, articles, pictures and catchy slogans and phrases on the theme of the
book.Use the introduction given on page 6, 7 and 8 as reference. Title your
collage as ‘Go, Girl, Go for it!’
2. With reference to page 46 ‘Gender Bias in Sports’ write a Diary Entry of
about 2 pages in your Grammar notebook. Imagine that you are passionate
about football, cricket or even hockey and that you are facing obstacles in
pursuing this as a career. You may take ideas from the story: ‘Do you want to
play football?’ The Interesting twist to this task is that the boys will have to
think and write from a girl’s point of view!

3. After reading the story ‘Name changer’ on page 106, we learn to appreciate
the Secular nature of our country. Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jains
and other religious and cultural groups live in harmony in India. Write a short
article of about 1 page in your Grammar notebook on this wonderful concept
of unity in diversity. Write an original article using your observations,
experiences and views. Provide the title: ‘Accepting one’s Identity: Being
Indian.’ Make a colourful collage on an A3 sheet on the concept of communal
harmony. Give it the title, We Are One!
