It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” - General Colin Powell. So aptly put by the former US Secretary of State. As the students geared up for their Unit Test II, the Sample Paper of English was uploaded and discussed thoroughly in class. The students noted the format, marking scheme, rubrics, and the content. Moving on to the last poem for the year, ‘A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal’ written by William Wordsworth, the students were introduced to the Lucy Poems written by Wordsworth, their background, and how the poet deals with the death of a loved one. The learners were encouraged to share their emotions when they perhaps may have suffered a loss. The title of the poem and its derivation were discussed with them. The poem was read and explained, new vocabulary, poetic devices, rhyme scheme were discussed, RTCs, and question and answers were done. The next chapter, a play ‘If I Were You’ written by Douglas James, was eagerly awaited by the Grade 9 students because it gave them the opportunity to perform a Role Play. Although the play had limited characters of Gerrard, Intruder, and the narrator, yet they had immense fun while performing it in the class. “A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.” This quote was discussed with the students, and the theme of the chapter was deduced. The students very enthusiastically conducted the activity with some enthralling performances of both narration and enactment. All the chapters culminated with the completion of respective questions and answers both NCERT and Value-based. The learners attempted the HOTs and RTCs given along with the Revisions for Unit Test II and solving of Sample Paper for recapitulation of knowledge gained. Social ScienceGeography: Students learned more about India's climate. They explained the importance of different climate controls on India's climate. They were also aware of the Indian monsoon's advancing and retreating. On the political map of India, students identified and labeled the locations based on the amount of rainfall received. Students talked about how the monsoons serve as a unifying force. Economics & Civics: Working of Institutions To gain a comprehensive understanding of the functioning of government, it is essential to delve into the intricacies of governance processes. In this context, students were provided with insights into the institutions that form the backbone of a democratic system.

Revision Sheets were given for the preparation of UT II. SciencePhysics: Unraveling the Dynamics of Work and Energy: A Comprehensive Exploration As students delve into the topic of work and energy, they acquire knowledge about defining work as the outcome of multiplying force by displacement in the direction of the force. Furthermore, students learn to differentiate between kinetic and potential energy, identifying instances where kinetic energy relates to an object's motion, and potential energy corresponds to its position or state. They gain the ability to calculate kinetic energy as well as potential energy. They learned to apply this knowledge to solve numerical problems centered around kinetic and potential energy. In the course of their studies, students come to realize that kinetic energy is directly influenced by both mass and velocity, understanding the dynamic relationship between these factors and the energy possessed by a moving object. This comprehensive exploration equips students with a profound understanding of the fundamental principles governing work and energy in the realm of physics. https://youtu.be/TlCpDsqVJx0 https://youtu.be/eBsU9DVa7ws Chemistry: "Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: Its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts." - Michael Faraday The educational journey for the month began with interactive sessions about chemical formula and revisiting the concept of the symbol of elements and their valencies to calculate the formula of a compound using the same. Data of atomic masses of elements were used to understand the calculation of the molecular mass of compounds. Numerical problems based on the same helped the learners to understand the concepts discussed with more clarity.
