2 SESSION : PROJECT WORK : SUMMER BREAK HOLIDAY HOMEWORK CLASS : VIII SUBJECT : ENGLISH ACTIVITY : I DATE OF SUBMISSION : FIRST WEEK OF JULY Topic Content Coverage Nature of task Learning Objectives Grammar Nouns, Idioms. Post content task Learning Outcomes: To enable the learners to Analyze the meanings of some common English language idioms. Synthesize their knowledge of idioms by presenting literal and figurative interpretations of some idioms through visual images. Identify different types of nouns. Students will be able to recognize and understand the meaning of targeted structures in written and spoken language. Use the targeted grammatical structures meaningfully and appropriately in oral and written production. Self correct when using the targeted grammatical structures. Students will begin to demonstrate more consistent and appropriate language use in extended conversations and discussions. Procedure The students have to paste the worksheet in their homework copy. Criteria / Rubrics for assessment Presentation and Organization- 5 Use of appropriate vocabulary- 3

3 Logical and coherent sequence-2 Values imparted through the Activities Follow up Students will be to recognize and understand the meaning of idioms. Create a comic strip, master the figurative and literal language. Apply their knowledge in a constructive manner. Master the concepts, through Learning by doing. A follow up will be done in the class after assessing the homework, focusing on sharing a constructive feedback with the learners about presentation of their work, ideas presented, creativity infused into their work, with an aim to improve the quality of the work thus presented.

4 Summer Break Holiday Homework Subject: English Class 8 WORKSHEET Topics Covered: Nouns, Idioms Instructions The first and the second question on idioms have a supporting material for better understanding of the question. For question number 2, the students can draw or paste pictures of cartoon characters to create a comic strip, highlighting the use of idioms in written language. The worksheet should be pasted in the homework copy. Q1. Read the following sentences carefully and then do the exercise that follows: I usually tell my students to "keep their eyes peeled" when they are walking in the street and I encourage them to try hard to look for examples of idioms. If a student is preparing for an exam, he or she may probably "work like a horse" in the final days before the exam. (They will work very hard before the exams.) A student may "burn the midnight oil" the night before the exam. (I certainly studied hard all night before my university final exams!) When I taught 50 students how to pass the FCE exam in Greece, I was snowed under with the huge amount of essays I had to correct.( I was extremely busy correcting word essays every week.) I sometimes have to tell a student to work harder, pay more attention in class. I say "You need to pull your socks up! Icebreaking activities are an essential feature on the first day of a new course. It is important to make participants feel more at ease and become familiar with peole's names and backgrounds. I usually have butterflies in my stomach just before taking a major exam or publishing something onto the www. I feel nervous. I studied very hard for my history exam and I learned all the relevant dates by heart. The exam was a piece of cake. It was very easy for me! 1. On the basis of your understanding the Idioms given above for reference, complete the following sentences in a suitable manner: (5)

a. I am full of beans in the b. I remember I had butterflies in my stomach when.

Framing a linear equation and solving it experimentally. Content Coverage Rational Numbers Linear equations in One variables Nature of task Individual activity Learning Objectives Procedure Students will be able to develop mathematical and problem solving skills. They will understand and apply the properties of Rational Numbers. Students will learn to solve a linear equation in one variable experimentally. Instructions: Do the tasks in the A-4 sheets. TASK -1 A grid of boxes is given in the end.each box has a numerical expression that represents the use of properties of Rational numbers. Identify the boxes where same property of rational numbers is applicable. Colour the boxes with same property in one colour. Colour the boxes with same second property in another colour. Explain your observation as per the given format in
