Std. 6 English Unit I and II


      The regular visitors of English Blog may not need an introduction toMs.Parvathy Venkiteswaran. TheRevision Test Series (two tests for each units of the Std. X English Text - Click here to download) thatshe sent us last year was a beautiful and very useful work. Her details were not known then and recently she revealed herself as an HSA English at Samooham High School, North Paravur who retired last March. A conversation over the phone made it clear that she retired only from the government service and not from language teaching. She writes for Mathrubhumi Daily, Mathrubhumi Successline, many private publishers all over Kerala and has been in the translation team of ICT text books.
       Her first contribution this year are some slide presentations for the U.P. classes.

Std. 6 English - Units I & II

 To 
    English Blog
Sir,
     I went through the first two units of  Std. 6 English course book Volume I (Download) today and have prepared some materials for the same. Kindly show this to the Std. 6 English teachers and let me know whether it is apt for the class. As I am an LPSA I don't have any experience in teaching in UP classes. So I am waiting for comments.
Suja Ramesh,
LPSA, GTWLPS Nadupathy,
Palakkad
This is a mail that we received from her on 29.06.2013 when she saw continuous requests in English Blog to U.P. teachers to become a part of the blog team and 'nobody' responded at all. Regular visitors know how active and ardent she is, in providing materials for our blog. Hats off dear teacher... Hope somebody would come up with comments to enrich the notes.
