10th English CBSE sample question paper 2022-23

 

1. Some people get emotional satisfaction from talking about how awful other people are. But research has found that when you talk negatively to say, a friend about how awful a colleague is, the listener is more likely to associate the negativity to you, rather than to the person you are describing. Researchers call the spontaneous trait transference'. So it is best to go easy on bad mouthing others because it may backfire. Anyway

 

2. It takes a big person to accept outwardly and inwardly that they are at fault. I am not saying we should never blame other people. Sometimes others are at fault and they need to know it and take responsibility. But being able to accept responsibility when that is right means we actually become less helpless and passive.

 

3 If everything is someone else's fault, then what part to do I play in my own life? Are my actions entirely without consequence? Am I that powerless? Or do all my actions only lead to good outcomes?

 

4. Am I an entire new type of human being? Knowing we can accept responsibility when things go wrong means we can also accept credit when things go well. We do, as individuals, have an effect on life; and that is a good thing.

 

5. But we need to develop the capacity to be objective enough about ourselves to avoid assuming we could never possibly have created problems ourselves. We also need to distinguish between accepting responsibility and punishing ourselves unduly.

 

6. If you are used to just dishing out the blame and not accepting your part, remember the research that shows being able to apologize in relationships makes them much more likely to last and thrive.

 

7. Ever noticed how some people get more hung up on assigning blame than actually fixing a problem. if people feel you blame them unfairly. they will resent you. They may even come to hate you. They may even come to hate you. People instinctively hate injustice. People can be shouted at, cursed at, and blamed, but still do not know what it is they did wrong.

 

8. Calling someone an idiot or telling them they always do everything wrong! is not feedback, it is just abuse, no matter why you think you are doing it. This kind of emotional incontinence may make people anxious, but they will never respect you because it displays your weaknesses so clearly.

 

9. As the wise Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius said. "How much more grievous are the consequences of angerthan the causes of it."Life is full of people who take emotional short cuts and blame other people unfairly or aggressively; for the sake of the human race, don't be one of them. But I would not blame you if you were.

How To Reinforce your child's Handwriting In Digital Learning Age



We all are in digital age and in this age, when the written communication is increasingly done through tabs, laptops and mobile phones, pen-man-ship is on a decline. Nowadays children get exposed to keyboards, touchpads and swipe buttons even before they are introduced to chalk, paper and pencil. why we should ignore the importance of teaching effective handwriting skills to our students. Let us not ignore and try to implement multiple approaches to build good handwriting techniques among students of all age group.

As a parent and Teacher what we can do at pre-school level to enhance handwriting skills.

Strategies to improve the handwriting of preschoolers:

Work on hand-eye coordination & visual-motor skills which is vital for neat handwriting, grows out of eye-hand coordination. The eyes and hand should work in close coordination to ensure that the each letter are correctly formed and stay within the margin or a line. 

Provide lots of opportunities to trace and draw shapes and simple drawings in early childhood BEFORE letters are introduced. Encourage child for scribbling activities.

Give special task that require slow, controlled movements. For example, squeeze glitter glue over a line, circular strokes to color an image, coloring shapes so on

Exercise activities also helps child to strengthen their fine and gross motor skills, Exercise with shoulder muscles so that the hands and fingers will be able to move more freely and accurately. Like Climbing on playgrounds so on.

Many research, educationist says that writing by hand also activates the parts of the brain that are involved in memory, impulse control, & attention.

Handwriting is more connected to movement of the heart. You can express yourself better by writing not by typing.

Importance of Bridge Course For School Students

Bridge Course

 Bridge Courses for school are primary courses that are designed to engage student towards learning all across the globe. They are connecting courses that connect a student’s previous course and with the course student wants to join so that he/she does not have to begin from the start of the course. Bridge course can be considered as supplementary knowledge that strengthens the knowledge in student about the advanced subjects that will be taught to student in the upcoming future. 

It helps to over come the barriers between the known concept with the unknown concept. During Bridge Course both student and teachers get enough time for better learning and delivering the concept. For Example: There is a poem "Summer" the teacher can explain concepts related to summer like seasons, weather, climate, temperature so on. this helps the child to recall his previous knowledge and connect to new concept. 

Bridge Course help students to recall, revise, recap what they have already learnt and relates to new information to prior knowledge enhances learning. It is an effective program to revise old lessons. It enhances the memory of learners there by strengthening learning. 

Bridge course is a platform for learners where previous concepts will be revised to enhance new syllabus which is inter related. During Bridge course, important topics and basic concepts of the previous classes will be revised to prepare the students for the new syllabus, "A Bridge Course is a capsule form of subjects the students learnt in the previous academic year."

Bridge course helps students to understand the need and scope of change in learning patterns from current level to meet the expectations of the next level. The purpose of Bridge course is to revise the basic concepts which the students might have forgotten. So that when the school reopens they can comfortably follow the next higher grade syllabus.

The pandemic has resulted in significant learning losses, particularly in Maths. Our Bridge Course program will help students close conceptual gaps and prepare them for the next academic year. Bridge course helps students to open up, think creatively and become responsible and independent students.

“I Hear and I Forget, I See and I Remember, I Do and I Understand”

Importance of Bridge course

The pandemic has disrupted the education cycle of students, especially lower primary.  Every class is an important milestone in the academic journey of students. The Bridge Course will equip students with the prerequisite skills and fundamentals required to prepare for the academic year.

How parents can help their kid's learning during pandemic?

 Parents' Role In Education During Pandemic


ARE PARENTS REALLY SUPPORTING THEIR CHILDREN’S LEARNING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC?

We all know how critical the situation is, how things were effected through the outbreak of the pandemic across the world, when all the routines for the survival have not stop, then why learning has to be stopped?

The gates of the school are closed, the classroom are silent and the playgrounds are empty. Parents teachers and caretakers are worried about their children's education. I don't think it is only a school's responsibility to take care your child's academy and the responsibility held only on teachers. Do you think only teachers should worry in finding different approaches to deliver academic program.

Yes, my dear parents you also play a vital role during this pandemic. Parents are first teacher from the moment child is born, you can play the role of being teacher and parent. Parents should feel it is an opportunity to engage with children during pandemic not only with their studies but also other sort of activities which strengthen bonding between parent and child.

I understand the stress what we are experiencing during this pandemic covid-19, I understand balancing work from home and household chores. you may be finding it difficult or boring to keep your children on track or helping them with assignments, homework, worksheets so on. If you support school, teachers and your kids, then definitely it would be easy for better learning. It is true that technology can't replace teachers, online classes may not completely effective, staring phone and tab may effect your child's eye sight but there is no any other option rather online classes. Even teachers trying their best to reach child's learning needs. As virtual classrooms are not as simple as plug-and-play, your attention is required. May be some parents are tech-savvy but it is not that too difficult to connect to virtual classes. The fact is virtual classes are possible, only with the whole-hearted cooperation of the parents. Let’s accept reality that the gadgets which were used by children for playing games, watching cartoons, and movies, are now used for educational purposes.

You can support online homeschooling through the coronavirus pandemic.

*Let’s not criticize the online classes and teacher's efforts
* Motivate child by creating interest.
*Coordinate with your child's teacher.
*Help child to organize the learning environment.
*Assist child with timetable to maintain learning routine.
* Monitor child's academic progress on daily bases.
*Ensure your child goes to sleep and wakes up at the same time each day.
*Please don't lose your patience when your assisting the child with their assignment and home-works.
*Follow-up with your child's attendance.
*Never yell at the child when child is not responding to you. so on.....................

Hence it is important for being a parent to communicate confidence, and optimism that we will pull through this pandemic together. We need to set goal for our children by prioritizing needs, and by giving personal attention. We need to Manage our own emotions will support our children stay focused on their learning till school reopens. Have a hope everything will be fine one day and your child need not to depend on virtual classes.
How long the school remain closed?

Hope is medicine for a soul that's sick and tired.

I wish her a successful life and bright future. Riya you are always there in our memories. Thank you

Im sorry for the times you cried





Im sorry for the times you cried


I'm sorry for the times you cried,
and the loneliness you felt inside.
I'm sorry for the way things were,
and the selfishness that you endured.
I'm sorry for the nights we lost,
and the deep pain it must have cost.
I'm sorry for the love you missed,
losing you helped me realize this.
I'm sorry I wasn't the man you deserved,
this has been the hardest lesson learned.
I'm sorry I wasn't there to show,
the deepest love you'll ever know.
I'm sorry for the empty days,
and the stresses that you still yet pay.
I'm sorry for the way I left,
I've never felt so much regret.
I'm sorry for the heart I broke,
that shattered with the words I spoke.
I'm sorry for the empty space,
that laid beside you in my place.
I'm sorry for the empty arms,
you fell into when times were hard.
I'm sorry for the days that passed,
Our love now will surely last.
I'm sorry it took so long to vow,
to love you forever here and now.
With lots of love and regards
