समावेशी शिक्षा शुरू होती है स्कूल की कक्षा से, शिक्षक के शब्दों से, साथ खेलने से, एक दूसरे की मदद करने से और ऐसी कहानियाँ जानने से, जिनमें – सब ख़ुश, सरल और समावेशी हो। तोतो-चान की कहानी है वही संदेश, और ये एक सच्ची कहानी है – तेत्सुको कुरोयानागी की। उसके तोमोए स्कूल की, शिक्षक कोबायाशी की। सातवीं की पाठ्यपुस्तक में “अपूर्व अनुभव’ नामक ‘तोतो-चान’ पुस्तक से लिया गया जो पाठ है, वह दो बच्चों के बीच कैसे एक अनूठा सामंजस्य और भरोसा होता है, ये प्रमाणित करता है। इस कहानी में हम सब उन पेड़ों की तरह हैं, उन तितलिओं की तरह, उन फूलों और पत्तों की तरह – जो तोमोए स्कूल में सजे हैं। यह पुस्तक एक ऐसा अनुभव है – जो केवल यासुकी चान के लिए ही नहीं, हम सब के लिए बन जाता है – अपूर्व अनुभव! 

The Lost Child by Mulk Raj Anand_ CBSE Grade 9 English_ Audiobook

The Lost Child is the story of a small child who gets lost in a fair or an exhibition. He had gone with his parents to the fair but loses them when he gets fascinated by looking at a roundabout swing. The story highlights the bond of love and affection that the child shares with his parents. Before losing them, he had been demanding different things like sweets, balloons, flowers, swings, etc. Once he loses them, he is picked up by a stranger. The stranger tries to silence the child by offering him all these things that he had demanded from his parents, but the child does not want them anymore. He wants his parents first.

World Radio Day - 13 February - Learning Radio sends wishes with gratitude and appreciation to all the listeners.

Recent world events and the COVID-19 pandemic have eroded trust in the media in general, fuelled by the circulation of false content rapidly spreading on social media. But while studies reveal a global decline in trust in the internet and social networks, they show a rise in overall trust in the news. And many citizens still have greater confidence in radio than in other media.

THE NECKLACE by Guy De Maupassant CBSE 10 English

The main character, Matilde Loisel, Matilde is unhappy with her life, due to her social and financial status. She believes that she is in the wrong place and wishes for more. She fantasizes the world of wealthy people and her longing for high society life haunts her all the time. Unlike his wife, Monsieur Loisel doesn’t daydream. The night at the ball turns out to be the best night of her life. Even though that night turns her life upside down for the next ten years, she believes she is in the right place. Yet, she only looks like those people without being one of them. After losing the necklace, she decides to withhold the information about the loss from its owner. This lie then becomes the main reason for her problems. Matilde who tried so hard to appear wealthy and respected lost her good looks completely when reality hit her. By the end of the story, she meets Madame Forestier, who had lent her the necklace. From the conversation, she learns that the diamonds were fake.

This lesson tells us about the life of Gautama Buddha, who was born in a royal family as Siddhartha.  Once he saw a funeral procession and a monk begging for the alms. These sights moved him a lot and he decided to become a monk and started wandering in search of enlightenment.  He started meditation under a peepal tree and after seven days he got enlightenment and he became known as the Buddha (the Awakened or the Enlightened). He preached his first sermon at Benares.Once a woman came to him requesting to bring her dead son to life. Gautama Buddha asked the lady to bring a handful of mustard seeds from the house where there had been no death.  The lady moved from one house to another, but she could not find a single house where no one had lost a child, husband, parents, or friend.Then she came to know that death is common to all and is the ultimate truth.

Reach For The Top | Grade 9 English - CBSE (Santosh Yadav and Maria Sharapova

PDF of Notes available on - http://slideshare.net/parveenwrites

The lesson "Reach for the Top", Talks in detail about the success stories of two women from different walks of life. Part one talks about Santosh Yadav, a mountaineer, who is the first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest twice. Her story inspires all young girls to chase their dreams. Hailing from a village with conservative ideas, which did not believe in education for girls, Santosh was rebellious enough to get herself educated. She went to college and stayed away from her house, which was a brave thing to do on those days. She found her passion later in life but developed her skills and went on to become the best.

This shows that one can discover their passion at any point in life, but they just need enough determination to pursue it. If one has the right kind of skills, then no one can stop them from becoming a pro.

This is very similar to the case of Maria Sharapova, a Russian tennis player. Her life teaches that no matter what other people say or treat you like, the answer should be one's own success. She struggled from a very young age with no attention from her parents and harsh treatment from other pupils. But she clearly focussed on the vision and proved herself.

He tells the readers about his first few days at a new high school. The narrative suggests that people must accept change and be open to the people around them. Even if we have had positive former experiences, we must not compare them to the present and find flaws in the current problems or difficulties. Keeping a positive mindset and broadening your understanding will always lead to an excellent, perfect solution.
