Language and Literature

Dear students, In today’s lesson, you begin learning how media and advertisements try to persuade us . You explore how ads, posters, and videos use different tricks to make us feel , trust , or believe something. You learn about three simple persuasive techniques: Pathos – using feelings such as happiness, fear, or excitement Ethos – using people we trust, like experts or famous personalities Logos – using facts, numbers, and information Through local and global examples, you observe how these techniques appear in everyday life—on TV, on posters, online, and even around your neighbourhood. You also practise identifying which technique is being used and think about why it works on us . This lesson helps you become a smart and thoughtful viewer , so you don’t believe everything you see without thinking. Here’s the link to today’s lesson (please click to revisit and practise). Happy learning! Ms. Risha Kalra

Dear students, In Lesson 1 , we begin our new unit “Painting With Words: The Art of Descriptive Writing.” This lesson introduces us to the power of description and how writers use language to help readers see, feel, and imagine . Through examples and discussion, we explore the difference between plain writing and descriptive writing , and consider how carefully chosen words can create strong images and emotional responses in the reader. We discuss how descriptive writing helps readers connect more deeply with characters and settings , making stories richer and more engaging. By reflecting on how language influences imagination and emotion, students begin to understand that descriptive writing is not just about adding details, but about making thoughtful choices that shape the reader’s experience.
