This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " " Language is one of the highest forms of expression. It acts as the medium to make our ideas, thoughts and feelings understood and appreciated. Like art, language can touch the heart and inspire the soul. And, at the heart and soul of a language, lies its grammar. Grammar helps the learners build a firm foundation for using the language. It is, therefore, very important for learners to develop the grammar skills that they need in order to express themselves meaningfully and creatively. Step-up English Grammar and Composition 1-8 is an NEP-aligned, carefully-graded grammar series developed to address the need of a systematic and step-wise strategy for understanding grammar. The series is based on the eclectic approach to language acquisition and presents a smooth blend of the inductive as well as the deductive method of teaching and learning the language. Each concept has been covered in detail, and great care has been taken to offer the relevant core concepts for the learners at each level. Last but not least, the utmost care has been taken to encapsulate in the series the key parameters laid down in National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The NEP places the learner at the heart of the teaching-learning process. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards designing a learner-centric curriculum that is based on an activity-based approach. There is also an equal emphasis on equipping young learners with essential twenty-first-century skills. The text as well as the activities in the book promote the holistic development of the learners. Besides, there is a lot of emphasis on enhancing the creativity, critical thinking, and communication and collaboration skills of learners. Salient Features of the Book • A conscious effort has been made to incorporate the major NEP specifications. • Simple, clear and detailed explanations of essential grammatical concepts have been given. • Explanations are followed by ample examples and a variety of well-graded exercises to reinforce the concepts. • Simple and clear instructions have been given in the exercises for easy understanding. • Fun-based, art-integrated exercises, together with a wide range of activities like grids and puzzles, have been used to bring the joy of learning to the classroom. • There is also a great emphasis on building cross-curricular, grade-appropriate vocabulary through exercises and comprehension. • Speaking activities have been made a part of the grammar exercises to instil more confidence in the learners. • All the explanations and exercises have been coupled with learner-friendly layout and illustrations for additional support. • Test papers have been introduced periodically to check if the learners have grasped the concepts. • Teacher's Resource Books comprise lessons plans, additional activities and teaching guidelines along with the answer key for each book. They are meant to serve as a handy aid for teachers and facilitate a wholesome teaching-learning experience. We hope this series caters to the requirements of the teachers as well as the students and meets our expectations in serving as a guide to the next generation of global citizens. While every possible effort has been made to avoid errors and omissions, any constructive suggestions for the improvement of the series will be welcomed and incorporated in future editions.

Download or read book Joe Gould s Secret written by Joseph Mitchell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a notorious New York eccentric and the journalist who chronicled his life: “A little masterpiece of observation and storytelling” (Ian McEwan). Joseph Mitchell was a cornerstone of the New Yorker staff for decades, but his prolific career was shattered by an extraordinary case of writer’s block. For the final thirty-two years of his life, Mitchell published nothing. And the key to his silence may lie in his last major work: the biography of a supposed Harvard grad turned Greenwich Village tramp named Joe Gould. Gould was, in Mitchell’s words, “an odd and penniless and unemployable little man who came to this city in 1916 and ducked and dodged and held on as hard as he could for over thirty-five years.” As Mitchell learns more about Gould’s epic Oral History—a reputedly nine-million-word collection of philosophizing, wanderings, and hearsay—he eventually uncovers a secret that adds even more intrigue to the already unusual story of the local legend. Originally written as two separate pieces (“Professor Sea Gull” in 1942 and then “Joe Gould’s Secret” twenty-two years later), this magnum opus captures Mitchell at his peak. As the reader comes to understand Gould’s secret, Mitchell’s words become all the more haunting. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joseph Mitchell including rare images from the author’s estate.

Download or read book Musicophilia written by Oliver Sacks and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What goes on in human beings when they make or listen to music? What is it about music, what gives it such peculiar power over us, power delectable and beneficent for the most part, but also capable of uncontrollable and sometimes destructive force? Music has no concepts, it lacks images; it has no power of representation, it has no relation to the world. And yet it is evident in all of us–we tap our feet, we keep time, hum, sing, conduct music, mirror the melodic contours and feelings of what we hear in our movements and expressions. In this book, Oliver Sacks explores the power music wields over us–a power that sometimes we control and at other times don’t. He explores, in his inimitable fashion, how it can provide access to otherwise unreachable emotional states, how it can revivify neurological avenues that have been frozen, evoke memories of earlier, lost events or states or bring those with neurological disorders back to a time when the world was much richer. This is a book that explores, like no other, the myriad dimensions of our experience of and with music.

Download or read book Brown Girl Dreaming written by Jacqueline Woodson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacqueline Woodson's National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner is a powerful memoir that tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse. A President Obama "O" Book Club pick Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become. Includes 7 additional poems, including "Brown Girl Dreaming." Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: "Ms. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery.”—The New York Times Book Review

Download or read book Mrs Dalloway written by Virginia Woolf and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels.

Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
