In order to bring about clarity and uniformity in the language paper from Std. IV to Std. X,
the following guidelines are being provided:
Sender’s address
• Four lines
• No numbers – only name of the building
• No contractions
• The city is important, but not the East / West.
• Hyphen and the pin code compulsory
• ‘th’ on the line
• Designation
• Organisation / Company
• Area
• City - pincode
• A line must be left between the receiver’s address and the salutation.
Salutation – close to the margin ( aligned to the receiver’s address) – Dear Mother /
Father / Grandmother / Grandfather/ siblings and cousins to be addressed by name.
Uncle / Uncle Fred / Aunt / Aunt Polly / no Indian terms to be used.
Introduction – 2-3 sentences reflecting the topic – give few options for opening lines –
encourage them to come out with their own creative lines.
Conclusion – 2-3 sentences - mention topic once again but framing it differently – do not
use terms like ‘in conclusion’ – ‘thus’, ‘in the end’……
ESSAY
Creativity
• We need to trigger off their creativity
• let them be given conventional topic
• ask them to go off on a tangent
• make it as incredible as possible
• encourage a twist in the essay
• dramatic beginning and end ( teachers to help them by giving examples)
• help to set the tone of the essay
• NO DREAM SEQUENCES!
Eg: War – conventional topic – but they can write about the war between the heart and
the head or RBC vs WBC….
Eg: Dogs can fly
Rusty – an incredible love story
Structure
The child must not make the ending obvious. It should end naturally or with a cliff-hanger.
A sudden twist always helps to make the essay come alive.
