Preface<br />

The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education -International (CBSE-i) is<br />

a progressive step in making the educational content and methodology more sensitive and<br />

responsive to the global needs. It signifies the emergence of a fresh thought process in<br />

imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue the<br />

learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.<br />

The Central Board of Secondary Education, with about 11000 schools affiliated to it and with<br />

over 130 schools situated in more than 20 countries has been catering to the academic needs of<br />

the learners worldwide. The Board has always been conscious of the varying needs of the<br />

learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing certain elements<br />

of the learning process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which<br />

they are engaged. The International Curriculum being designed by CBSE-i , has been<br />

visualized and developed with these requirements in view.<br />

The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The<br />

objective of the curriculum is to nurture the independence of the learner, given the fact that<br />

every learner is unique. The learner has to understand, appreciate, protect and build on<br />

values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, making necessary modifications, improvisations and<br />

additions wherever and whenever necessary.<br />

The recent scientific and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of<br />

knowledge at an astonishing pace. The speed and methods of assimilating knowledge have<br />

put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink their approaches for<br />

knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to<br />

incorporate those skills which will enable the young learners to become 'life long learners'. The<br />

ability to stay current, to upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to understand the<br />

nuances involved in change management and the relevant life skills have to be a part of the<br />

learning domains of the global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of these<br />

requirements.<br />

The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the <strong>Indian</strong> system of education. While<br />

promoting critical and creative thinking skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal<br />

and collaborative skills along with information and media skills. There is an inbuilt flexibility<br />

as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum in all subject areas to cater to the<br />

different pace of learners.<br />

The CBSE-i plans to introduce the curriculum in a phased manner at different levels in schools<br />

affiliated to CBSE at the international level and subsequently, if desirable, to introduce it to<br />

i


other affiliated schools who are able to meet the requirements of this curriculum. The focus is<br />

to ensure that the learner is stress-free and yet stays committed to active learning. The learner<br />

would be evaluated on a continuous and comprehensive basis consequent to the mutual<br />

interactions between the teacher and the learner and the learner. There are some nonevaluative<br />

components in the curriculum which would be commented upon by the teachers<br />

and the school. The objective of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the learning<br />

experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This would involve transdisciplinary<br />

linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA<br />

(Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the<br />

constituents of this 'Core'. The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic<br />

growth and his/her learning curve.<br />

The international curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the<br />

National Curricular Framework (NCF 2005) and the experience gathered by the Board over<br />

the last seven decades in imparting effective learning to millions of learners, many of whom<br />

are now global citizens.<br />

The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at<br />

the international level, but as an exercise in providing the much needed <strong>Indian</strong> leadership for<br />

global education at the school level. The international curriculum would evolve on its ownbuilding<br />

on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while<br />

addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the schools administering this system<br />

strongly recommends that practicing teachers become skillful learners on their own and also<br />

transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the interactive platforms to be<br />

provided by the Board.<br />

I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics),CBSE, Ms. Abha<br />

Adams and her team and Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Head (Innovations and Research) CBSE<br />

alongwith other Education Officers involved in the development and implementation of this<br />

material.<br />

The CBSE-i website being launched will enable all stakeholders involved in this initiative to<br />

participate through the discussion forums provided on the portal. Any further suggestions for<br />

modifying or improving any part of this document are welcome.<br />

GDevelopment of logical and mathematical ability to calculate.<br />

GTo be able to apply it in real life situations.<br />

Teachers Activity :<br />

Students would be able to enjoy mathematics if and only if it is explained to them in the<br />

simplest of form. Hence it becomes more and more important for the teacher to use simpler<br />

terms like "How many in all?", rather than using the words like "addition" and "Sum"<br />

GThe "+" sign and terms like "Addends" should only be introduced to the pupil<br />

at a later stage.<br />

GBefore starting this chapter the teacher can organize a nature walk for the<br />

students. During this trip the teacher can ask questions like ts. During this<br />

trip the teacher can ask questions like<br />

"There are 5 squirrels, 3 more of them join them. How many are there in all?"<br />

GWorksheets can be given to the students to strengthen these concepts.<br />

Lesson plan<br />

Subject:<br />

Language Arts/<strong>English</strong><br />

Unit:<br />

2 Topic: Singular/ Plural (One/ Many)<br />

Brief Description: This lesson involves the use of the Structural Analysis element of the<br />

Inflectional Ending "-s" to make singular nouns plural.<br />

Learning objectives:<br />

As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to...<br />

GExplain the difference between singular and plural nouns<br />

GMake singular nouns plural by adding -s (written)<br />

GVisually and audibly recognize singular nouns and plural nouns<br />

Give their own example of a singular noun made plural.<br />

GAble to collate ideas and apply it to the agreement of subject with<br />

verb/auxillary.<br />

Materials Required:<br />

Plate of chocolate chip cookies, pencils, paper, handout of singular and plural words<br />

in picture, worksheet with singular and plural nouns listed (circle the plural words),<br />

worksheet of singular words with a blank after them (add -s to make words plural), and<br />

an appropriate short story .<br />

Teacher activity –<br />

Introduction<br />

"I brought something with me today." (Hold up the plate of cookies.) "What is on this<br />

plate?" Students should answer: "cookies". Hold up one cookie for students to see and<br />

ask, "What is this?" Students should answer: "A cookie!" Ask students what was the<br />

difference in their answers. They should say that the first answer included all the<br />

36<br />

CLASS-1


<strong>English</strong> Template<br />

cookies. The second answer was about just one of them. Guide them to answer this if<br />

they have difficulty. Confirm when they are correct. "The first answer has what letter at<br />

the end that made it more than one?" Answer: "s" "A word that tells about more than<br />

one item is a plural word. When we said 'cookie' without the 's', it was singular-- just<br />

one."<br />

Student activity –<br />

The teacher reads a story (The Monkeys and The Cap Seller) that has examples of<br />

singular and plural words (Review the meaning of the words "singular" and "plural"<br />

again: A singular word is just one and a plural word is more than one). The teacher then<br />

asks the students the plural word in the title of the storybook. Answer: "caps". She<br />

explains that the "s" is added to "cap" just like to "cookie" to make it more than one. "'S' is<br />

added to the end of a word to make it more than one.")<br />

Sequence of activities-<br />

Read the story.<br />

A. Before beginning to read, tell children to listen for plural words, (words that end in<br />

"s" and describe more than one thing) and when they hear them to give you (the<br />

teacher) a "thumbs up" signal.<br />

B. Read the book through slowly, being careful to notice the "thumbs up" from the<br />

students on the plural words.<br />

C. After reading, have children recall orally (while teacher writes them on the board)<br />

the words that were plural. After they have remembered all they could, page through<br />

the book and see if they can find anymore they missed. (You can show them the pictures<br />

that relate to the plural words: caps, monkeys, fingers, hands, etc.). Talk about other<br />

plural words that were not in the story text, but were shown in the book in pictures.<br />

Add them to your collection of plural words on the board.<br />

D. Make a column of the singular words that relate to the plural words listed. Show<br />

students from list on the board that each word is made plural by adding an "-s."<br />

Review –<br />

Pass out a worksheet that has two columns. Under each column there is either a picture<br />

of one object or a group of objects with the singular or plural word under it. This is done<br />

together as a class, with either the teacher using the board or overhead projector. For<br />

example:<br />

CLASS-1<br />

37


<strong>English</strong> Template<br />

stars - star<br />

cow - cows<br />

cars - car<br />

hat - hats<br />

Students (along with the teacher) are to circle the picture and relating word that is<br />

plural. The teacher should bring to their attention each time that the "s" is found at the<br />

end of the plural words. Have students also circle the "-s" at the end of the plural word.<br />

For their independent activity, follow the prior worksheet with a similar one-- the<br />

difference: the pictures will be gone. Students are to individually circle the plural<br />

words. If some students finish before others, let the "early birds" draw pictures for the<br />

words given-- one picture for the singular words and two for the plural words. When<br />

everyone has completed the exercise, go over the answers. The teacher should do this<br />

on the board or have a copy on an overhead transparency.<br />

Life Skills/Sewa<br />

GChildren to be encouraged to give away those possessions that they have in<br />

abundance/many to the lesser privileged children and to retain only one of<br />

each.<br />

Critical Thinking<br />

GChildren to be asked to rewrite a short paragraph/sentence by changing<br />

singular nouns to plural nouns and vice versa. They will then explain (orally)<br />

whether the paragraph still makes sense.<br />

Then, the teacher signals to the child standing/sitting on the right to follow the cue. Each child,<br />

by turn frames the two sentences and then the teacher asks the students to clap for their<br />

praiseworthy efforts.<br />

The teacher then highlights the use of am that takes place only with I.<br />

The teacher erects her hand upright to show the use of am with I.<br />

In the second part of the activity, the teacher points to the child on her left and says.....<br />

She/ He is a girl/boy.<br />

She/ He is my friend.<br />

Following the cue of the teacher each child frames the two sentences for the child<br />

standing/sitting on left, learning the use of the next auxiliary verb is.<br />

Next, the teacher takes out her pen or any inanimate object and frames the following<br />

sentences:<br />

It is a pen.<br />

It is blue in colour.<br />

The students also take out things from their bags and learn the use of is for inanimate<br />

objects.<br />

Quick Recapitulation: Do a quick recap with the children before proceeding forward.<br />

Remember to use the erected hand signal to remind kids the exclusive use of am with I.<br />

Also revisit the use of is for person and thing alike.<br />

The teacher reads out a conversation<br />

Hello! My name is Gauri.<br />

I am your <strong>English</strong> teacher.<br />

What is your name?<br />

Pallavi. How are you?<br />

I am fine. What are they doing?<br />

review<br />

SEWA : Time to give back to the society, teacher explains to the students that auxiliary verbs<br />

are also called ‘helping verbs’ because these words help us to communicate our thoughts and<br />

feelings effectively to others. Hence, like our helper verbs we should also help and do our bit<br />

for the society. So, a trip to an old age home is organised to give love and company to the senior<br />

citizens and help them with any chores they might need assistance with.<br />

Critical Thinking:<br />

1) Using the three auxiliary verbs (is, am and are) and smiley cut outs, express at least<br />

three feelings.<br />

Example :<br />

I am happy<br />

She is sad.<br />

They are angry.<br />

2) Discuss the best explanation for using auxiliary verb are with singular pronoun You.<br />

All time jingle to go with the auxiliary verbs.<br />

Is, am and are<br />

Is, am and are<br />

These are the helping verbs.<br />

Am always shows up with I<br />

Is likes to stay with Ones<br />

While Are likes to be with Many and You.<br />

Is, am and are<br />

These are the helping verbs.<br />

Just like the verbs<br />

Let us<br />

: Sight words /Dolch List 1<br />

Brief Description: Students are able to read the words without phonetically decoding them.<br />

Learning Objectives :<br />

Student will learn various high frequency sight words by playing Steal the Words card<br />

game. They will then identify these words in the context of choral reading a book.<br />

Reasoning<br />

Sight words are very important in building the confidence of beginning readers. By giving<br />

students repeated exposure to individual sight words, it will be easier for them to pick the<br />

words out and read them in context. This will add to the natural, flowing pace of reading<br />

that is every child's goal. Placing the learning of sight words in a game format makes this<br />

overwhelming task less of a chore and adds fun. Also, it's important to follow the game of<br />

learning the words with reading a book, to emphasize to the students the value of knowing<br />

the words.<br />

Materials required :<br />

64 Cards with sight words written on both the sides.<br />

A4 Sheets<br />

Markers<br />

White board<br />

Books for the students to pick from<br />

Procedure<br />

GDeal 4 cards to each student and have them lay them out in front of them facing up. Lay<br />

4 cards out in the center of the students. Explain the rules to the students as follows:<br />

Gwhoever picks the word with the most letters goes first<br />

Gwhen it's your turn, if you have a word that matches one in the middle of the circle, you<br />

can take the card and add it to a private pile of your own.<br />

GYou can only take a card when you read the word on it. Always keep four cards per<br />

student and four cards in the middle.<br />

Gthe game continues until all the cards are matched<br />

Gthe<br />

student with the most cards wins<br />

After they play the game, read through all of the sight word cards with the students again.<br />

Then allow them to choose a book that they want to read.<br />

Have the students read the book with the teacher. Whenever a student successfully reads<br />

one of the sight words just learned, point this out to them.<br />

Materials required<br />

Teachers Activity<br />

Example<br />

Activity sheet, picture charts, beads, geometrical shapes.<br />

The teacher takes the student to the math lab or can arrange for the activity in the class.<br />

The teacher would take some cookies in both the hands and asks the students in which<br />

hand there are more/ less cookies.<br />

The students would begin to compare the objects and just by mere sight would decide<br />

which hand has more or less cookies. Here the teacher introduces the concept of “less”<br />

and “more”. To strengthen the concept of more or less the teacher can display various<br />

items at times like<br />

Which side has more circles?<br />

CLASS-1<br />

Which side has less red roses?<br />

Which side has more stars?<br />

(Here the students would not be able to answer; hence the teacher introduces the<br />

concept of “Equal”)<br />

To strengthen the concept of “More”,” less” and “Equal” the teacher can proceed with<br />

the help of the worksheets.<br />

Topic: Shapes<br />

Brief Description: This is one of the first lessons the children will learn on shapes, four basic<br />

geometric shapes and the names of the shapes, as well as each of their characteristics. The<br />

knowledge acquired in this lesson will give the children knowledge of different shapes as well<br />

as other defining characteristics. The students may have background knowledge from their<br />

home life in this area of study.<br />

Learning objectives:<br />

As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to...<br />

GCreate mental images of geometric shapes using spatial memory and spatial<br />

visualization<br />

GUnderstand correlation of shapes with shapes in the environment<br />

GEnhance innovation and creativity in the children<br />

GDevelop analytical and logical skills<br />

Materials required:<br />

Flashcards (See examples at the end of the lesson plan), Worksheet, Rhymes, Puzzles<br />

(Tangram)<br />

Teacher activity –<br />

GFirst, ask the students if they know any names of shapes. Also inquire about<br />

where they see different shapes around their homes or outside. Give examples<br />

of one’s own. (Examples: lights on a traffic light, television sets, buildings, etc.)[5<br />

minutes]<br />

GTell the class "Today we will be learning about 4 basic shapescircle,<br />

square, triangle and rectangle. We see these different shapes everyday,<br />

and it is very important for us to recognize these shapes. We will count the<br />

sides and corners of each shape. By doing this, we will be able to identify the<br />

the shape." [ 3 minutes ]<br />

CLASS-1


Mathematics Template<br />

G"First, we will learn about circles. Circles are round. Can anyone give me an<br />

example of a circular object in your house? What about in our classroom? Circles<br />

do not have straight edges or corners. ( show the “smiley circle shape cutout” to<br />

the students)<br />

GNext we will learn about squares. Can anyone think of an object that has a<br />

square shape? Squares have four straight sides. All four sides are equal in<br />

length. that are all equal. (show the “smiley square shape cutout”; pointing to<br />

the shape). There are four corners in every square (A corner is formed at the<br />

point where two lines meet). We are in a square shaped room right now. There<br />

are four corners in this room.<br />

GAfter that, we will learn about rectangles. Rectangles are almost like squares, but<br />

their sides are not all the same size. (show the smiley rectangle shape cutout)<br />

Next, we will learn about triangles. Triangles have three sides. ( show the<br />

smiley triangle shape cutout, point to this shape) Two sides of a triangle come<br />

together to form corners also. How many corners does a triangle have? Can<br />

anyone think of some triangles we see in everyday life?<br />

Student activity –<br />

A puzzle will be handed out to the students. Each student will individually finish and<br />

show the teacher the puzzle when completed. Time allotted would be 15 minutes<br />

Rhyme on Shapes<br />

I am Cindy Circle. Watch me turn<br />

Round and round and you will learn<br />

I’m not straight and I don’t bend.<br />

My outside edges never end.<br />
