NOTE: Teachers are advised to:

(i) encourage classroom interaction among peers, students and teachers through activities such as role play, group work etc.

(ii) reduce teacher-talking time and keep it to the minimum and

iii) take up questions for discussion to encourage pupils to participate and to marshal their ideas and express and defend

their views.

Besides measuring attainment, texts serve the dual purpose of diagnosing mistakes and areas of non-learning. To make

evaluation a true index of learners’ attainment, each language skill is to be assessed through a judicious mixture of

different types of questions. In addition to the summative tests, formative assessment is essential to measure the level

of attainment in the four language skills and the learners’ communicative competence. Formative assessment should

be done through ‘in class’ activities throughout the year.

( vii )

Reading Section: Reading for comprehension, critical evaluation, inference and analysis is a skill to be

tested in Formative as well as Summative Assessments.

Writing Section: All types of short and extended writing tasks will be dealt with in both I and II Term Formative

as well as in Summative Assessments.

Grammar: Grammar items mentioned in the syllabus will be taught and assessed formatively over a period of

time. There will be no division of syllabus for Grammar in the Summative Assessment for the two terms.

Speaking and Listening Skills 50 Periods

Since the introduction of Assessment of Speaking and Listening Skills (ASL) in classes IX and X, it has become

imperative to carryout speaking and listening activities in regular classroom teaching. Sufficient practice

should be given to students in order to prepare them for ASL. Performance descriptors should be shared

with students from time to time.

SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER - 1Solved___________________________________________

Time : 3 Hours Maximum Marks : 70

General Instructions :This question paper is divided into three sections :Section A : Reading 20 marksSection B : Writing and Grammar 25 marksSection C : Literature and Extended Reading Text 25 marks

SECTION ‘A’ : READING (20 marks)

Q. 1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : (8 marks)

The most characteristic feature of spiders is their ability to produce silken threads. Spiders normally have six fingerlike silk glands, called ‘spinnerets’ located beneath their abdomen. To spin a web, the spider squeezes the silk out of its body through two small holes. The liquid silk is thicker than water and dries into a fine thread as soon as it comes in contact with air. Spider silk is much stronger than steel and resists breakage because of its elasticity. It can stretch to 140 percent of its original length. The diameter of these silken threads is about ten-thousand of an inch. This silk is used to make webs to trap their prey. The egg sacs of some spiders are also made of silk which pretreats the unborn progeny. Sometimes the spider can also use its silk as a safety feature. A certain species of spider, phidippus apacheanecs’ trails a safety line of fine silk as it jumps. It uses the silk line to recover if it misses its target. The silk of ‘Naphils Spider’ is the strongest natural fibre, known.

The spinning of webs is a remarkable example of instinctive behaviour. A spider does not have to learn how to make a web, although spinning itself can be adopted to unique circumstances. For example, ‘orb’ webs are circular in shape and take an hour to build. Funnel spiders spin a net like entrance to their homes, which helps them to trap food. Similarly, trap door spiders dig their homes and spin a trap door out of their silk for trapping insects.

As integral components of our biosphere, spiders have intrinsic existence value. They are efficient predators that play an important role in controlling pests of cotton. They are also a source of food for other creatures such as birds and wasps. Thus, the presence of spiders is an ecological indicator signalling the health of natural ecosystem.Based on the passage answer the following questions : (1 × 8 = 8)(a) What is so special about spiders ?(b) How does a spider spin a web ?(c) Write one feature of spider silk.
