LEARNING OUTCOMES, Language is not only a means of communication, it is also a medium through which most of our, knowledge is acquired. It is a system that, to a great extent, structures the reality around us. Language, acquisition involves processes of scientific enquiry such as observation of data, classification and, categorization, hypothesis formation and its verification. It should be possible to use the languages, available in the classroom not only for the enhancement of above cognitive abilities but also for increasing, language proficiency and sensitivity. Such exercises prove particularly useful in the conscious use of, language rules in formal situations., , Learners are expected to possess such competencies which enable them to face the world in the, true sense-both academic and work place world. Language proficiency and competencies are vital in, nurturing and shaping the learner to negotiate, function, develop attitudes, social skills, critical and liberal, thinking and values in the academic, work place and society as a whole., Language learning is essentially a process of acquiring language skills across the curriculum enabling, the learners to achieve academic success and holistic personality development. The relevant learner centric, academic inputs take learners beyond the boundaries of textbook for exploration of ideas, thoughts, and, beliefs in a larger arena of people and life., Secondary stage is crucial for there is transition from general school education of ten years to, stream based courses leading to another transition to higher education or work place. The progression in, this process leads to understanding abstract thoughts and unfamiliar contexts at the secondary stage. It, leads to construction of knowledge across the curriculum., The most crucial aspect is the implementation of pedagogies meant for quality learning and, balanced assessment. Hence at the secondary stage there is need to have more flexibility and, resourcefulness than teaching to test. Educators are expected to blend the discipline content with engaging, learning environment., Promising practices may be followed to narrow the achievement gaps among the learners. It is, expected to develop a range of skills subsumed under Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) and, Cognitively Advanced Language Proficiency (CALP) by the end of class xii., Attributes of learners at the end of class XII would present them as an adult with knowledge,, competencies, skills, and attitudes for a good citizenry who could pursue his / her academic interest and, acquire higher order skills with specializations of varied nature. Language learning at the senior secondary, stage should ensure registered based language requirement of higher education. The competencies should, focus on register based language proficiency viz. science registers, social science registers, language for, technology and so on. This could be achieved through the inputs of materials (texts and others), teachers’, language, the classroom interactions and assessment. Learning outcomes delineated here include the, above aspects to pave way for learning of the language for varied purposes., Learning Outcomes at the end of the secondary stage- an Overview, Learning outcomes are concise, and clearly articulated recommendations for the academic and, overall achievements of the learners. These are the part of the process of learning which are based on the, IV

learner centric approaches. There is no linear progression suggested for the learners. Learners can have, flexibility in assessment/ examination. This will lead to giving space to learners to follow their pace of, learning without being labelled as slow, weak etc. Educators can modify activities, tasks etc. as per the, learning outcomes. The processes highlight art integrated learning and inclusive approach for learning., Equal opportunities are given to all students to develop the communication skills. Conscious effort has, been made to shift from memorization to the development of language competencies along with the, competencies to function as an informed youth to work towards the societal upliftment and grow as a, productive individual. Value inculcation is integrated in pedagogical processes and in Los. Different, pedagogical processes are suggested for development of these competencies. These ensure integrated and, seamless learning. These competencies can be observed and assessed. The real life application of, understanding can be assessed as evidenced by the students’ performance of authentic tasks and, participation in group project., The framework of Learning Outcomes is focused on the holistic development of young learners who, are at the threshold of entering the world of higher education, employment, professional courses etc. Some, of them may move to different parts of the world for the purpose of education or other reasons., Curricular Expectations, After class XII students will leave the protected atmosphere of school and go into the world of, independence as well as responsibility. So the two years of senior secondary stage is a preparatory stage to, face life and take decision. The pedagogical processes suggested and learning outcomes stated work, towards this. Learning Outcomes and pedagogical processes make an effort to groom the students to be, independent learners. The teachers can adopt, adapt or modify the suggestive pedagogical processes, according to the needs, contexts and resources available., Learners at the end of the senior secondary stage, classes XII are expected to; acquire the ability to, listen and understand, and should be able to employ non-verbal clues to make connections and draw, inferences. Develop the habit of reading for information and pleasure; draw inferences and relate texts to, previous knowledge; read critically and develop the confidence to ask and answer questions. Employ her, communicative skills, with a range of styles, and engage in a discussion in an analytical and creative, manner. Identify a topic, organize and structure thoughts and write with a sense of purpose and an, awareness of audience, to understand and use a variety of registers associated with domains such as music,, sports, films, gardening, construction work, etc. Use a dictionary and other materials available in the library, and elsewhere, access and collect information through making and taking down notes, etc. Use language, creatively and imaginatively in text transaction and performance of activities.

Give it a suitable title., On the basis of the passage given below make notes on it using headings and subheadings., The world today has witnessed an emergency situation due to the increasingly widespread of a, fatal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) since December 2019. The virus has, proved to be much more fatal than the influenza pandemic in 1918 that was counted as the deadliest, event witnessed by human history that proved to be a reason for the death of more than 50 million, people. However, the pandemic stood as a yardstick for more than a century with reference to which all, other epidemics and related emergencies have been compared and measured. The capital of Hubei, Province in China, Wuhan, came to be known as the center of an outbreak of a peculiar, incurable, problem of pneumonia, the cause of which could not be understood by the doctors. However, the, scientists in early January 2020 isolated a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) from samples of the patients suffering from such pneumonia. This virus was, later labelled as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in February 2020, by the World Health, Organization. The outburst of COVID-19 has been reported to originate from a zoonotic transmission, from a large market of seafood and wild animals. The virus has been exported to at least 140 countries,, till date (as of March 19, 2020) out of which as many as 11 European countries are among the top 15 are, reported to possess the largest number of cases with the infection of coronavirus in the world., Evidently, the efficient transmission from one person to another in hospital as well as among family, members has also been reported. The WHO has declared the emergency situation, due to COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International concern. However, if public, health efforts become incapable of controlling the widespread of the virus, the human race is expected, to shortly witness the emergence of a mortal worldwide pandemic., (Tyagi, I., Mahfooz, Y., Kashif, M. et al.

Delayed a year by the coronavirus, pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics went off with few spectators in the stands, families left at home, and, athletes who were masked, quarantined, and tested daily due to the ongoing COVID-19 state of, emergency., Despite the challenges of staging the Games during a pandemic, the Olympics were still full of, notable moments. Simone Biles withdrew from the gymnastics team event to prioritize her mental, health and sparked a conversation about the pressure on elite athletes. Biles’ teammates earned silver, in the team final and 18-year old Sunisa Lee became won the women’s individual all-around, competition to become the first Hmong-American to win an Olympic gold medal. Despite Katie, Ledecky’s speed, rising Australian star swimmer Ariarne Titmus beat her in the women’s 400-m and, 200-m freestyle finals.

Give it a suitable title., On the basis of the passage given below make notes on it using headings and subheadings:, AI or artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Cloud computing, Augmented reality., Does your head spin a bit while reading this sentence above? Did you take one look at this, jumble of tech terms and declare in your mind that it is “too geeky" for you? Well, perhaps you, shouldn’t., It could be just a matter of communication—instead of throwing tech terms at people, if you, make regular people understand what something like AI can do to make their lives better, they may, accept it better. And that may be the most important step in India’s tryst with artificial intelligence, as, per the overwhelming sentiment at Nasscom’s Experience AI summit Thursday afternoon., “AI is going to be as ubiquitous as electricity, it will become such an integral part of everything,”, exclaimed Arundhati Bhattacharya, CEO & Chairperson of Salesforce India and the former head of State, Bank of India. “You just need to buy into the story.”, Arundhati reminisced how she walked the talk during her days heading the nation’s biggest, bank. Despite having around 22,000 branches and close to 60,000 ATMs, the legacy bank did have an, image of being “my grandpa’s bank.’, Enter Arundhati and some basic use of technology, including AI and VR., Seven branches in big Indian cities were chosen for a carefully planned makeover—all the ATMs, and other machines were kept right in the front, with the entire branch looking quite different from, the typical "Sarkari" feel. There were huge screens where you could type in questions and get answers, on anything from opening an account to the amount of loan one could get, 3D walk-throughs for, homes and colleges (depending on whether you wanted a home loan or an educational loan). In, addition, one could get an Aadhaar id scanned and open a bank account in under 20 minutes., (https://www.theweek.in/news/biz-tech/2021/08/05/the-need-to-make-artificial-intelligencemore-accessible-in-india.html), ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., 12

Give it a suitable title., On the basis of the passage given below make notes on it using headings and subheading., The shift in teaching methodology was the primary hurdle when online classes started., School administrations ramped up efforts to help teachers learn to use digital tools for, conducting virtual classes. Teachers from government institutions had to strive harder to ensure that, learning was accessible for everyone, given the disparate socioeconomic status of students studying in, these schools., “We had students who did not even know how to create an e-mail address., We took extra effort to identify such students and provide one-on-one instructions to create email ids and Zoom accounts. The next challenge was the Internet connection itself., When the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) announced that they would pay for the recharge, of mobile connections on parents’ phones, we made a list of students who were unable to attend, classes because they could not afford an internet connection. We shared their mobile numbers and, service provider details to ensure that learning happens seamlessly for every student, ”says S Ganga, Devi, Teacher, Chennai High School, Kottur., The pandemic was also an opportunity for schools to identify ways to make learning happen., For instance, Maheswari Kalpana, Head Mistress, Chennai High School, Kottur, points out that, thanks to the help of the civic body, 80% of the children had a device for attending classes. “But the, remaining 20% of students were left behind., It was then that I learned about crowdfunding and created a fundraiser online., With community support, we met the target sooner than we expected and made sure every, single student in our school had a mobile phone,” she adds., (https://chennai.citizenmatters.in/webinar-report-teaching-during-the-pandemic-and-way-forward33642), ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., 13

Give it a suitable title., On the basis of the passage given below make notes on it using headings and subheading., Some claims circulating on the internet, researched by experts suggest that Bluetooth headsets, and tiny headphones may pump radiation in the brain and potentially cause cancer, which can be, concerning. Experts also debate that since headphones are usually placed close, deep in the ear, vital, tissues are exposed to higher-level radio frequencies., Over the years, researchers have also raised that the Bluetooth headsets make use of nonionizing electromagnetic field technology, which raises serious health concerns. Petitions have also, been sent to the WHO, backed by many credible researchers from different countries., Some have also gone far as to suggest that long-duration usage of such devices and gadgets,, during pregnancy could cause harmful effects, including a higher than usual risk of pregnancy loss and, women giving birth to children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Tinnitus, increased, brain tumor risks also exist., However, all may not be so true. While Bluetooth devices and headsets do emit radiation, we, do not have long-term evidence available on the actual dangers of the same. Most research appears to, focus on exposure to high-level nonionizing radiation to date. Some have also said that while Bluetooth, devices work according to the permissible limit, the radio waves don't really sit inside the ear canal,, and hence, may not be as hazardous as it is claimed to be. As per information listed by the Centres for, Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), non-ionizing radiation spread via such gizmos could only be, potentially harmful when a person is directly in contact with them, for intense durations., The exposure and radiation from such devices also depend heavily upon the usage. More so, it, is also seldom debated that the radiation emitted by the headphone is much lower when compared to, gadgets such as mobile phones, which are used more frequently, and for prolonged times., Thus, while there continues to be growing evidence surrounding the apparent dangers of the, usage of Bluetooth headsets and other such gadgets, there's also a great divide between researchers, on the same., (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/are-bluetooth-headphonesharmful-for-you-heres-what-experts-want-you-to-know/articleshow/83717439.cms), ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………., 14

Hamel saw me and said very kindly, “Go to your place quickly, little, Franz. We were beginning without you.”, I jumped over the bench and sat down at my desk. Not till then, when I had got a little over my, fright, did I see that our teacher had on his beautiful green coat, his frilled shirt, and the little black silk, cap, all embroidered, that he never wore except on inspection and prize days. Besides, the whole, school seemed so strange and solemn. But the thing that surprised me most was to see, on the, backbenches that were always empty, the village people sitting quietly like ourselves; old Hauser, with, his three-cornered hat, the former mayor, the former postmaster, and several others besides., Everybody looked sad, and Hauser had brought an old primer, thumbed at the edges, and he held it, open on his knees with his great spectacles lying across the pages.

WORKSHEET - 16, Comprehension Passage: Prose, Learning Areas : Comprehension, Analysis of Given Text, Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:, Six hundred and fifty million years ago, a giant amalgamated southern supercontinent —, Gondwana — did indeed exist, centered roughly around present-day Antarctica. Things were quite, different then: humans hadn’t arrived on the global scene, and the climate was much warmer, hosting, a huge variety of flora and fauna. For 500 million years Gondwana thrived, but around the time when, the dinosaurs were wiped out and the age of the mammals got underway, the landmass was forced to, separate into countries, shaping the globe much as we know it today., For a sun-worshipping South Indian like myself, two weeks in a place where 90 percent of the, Earth’s total ice volumes are stored is a chilling prospect (not just for circulatory and metabolic, functions, but also for the imagination). It’s like walking into a giant ping-pong ball devoid of any, human markers — no trees, billboards, buildings. You lose all earthly sense of perspective and time, here. The visual scale ranges from the microscopic to the mighty: midges and mites to blue whales and, icebergs as big as countries (the largest recorded was the size of Belgium).
