FOUR LITTLE FOXES (POEM)

https://youtu.be/YV7-G4rD5Po

To be done in literature copy:

Word- Meaning:

1. Forbear – stop (oneself) from doing something.

2. Bitter blow – cold, harsh biting winds.

3. Boughs – large branches of trees.

4. Rampant – something that is bad and is spreading in an uncontrolled manner.

5. Nuzzling – snuggling up to.

UNDERSTANDING THE POEM:

Q 1. What has the speaker found? Where are they?

A 1. The speaker has found four new-born fox cubs in a valley.

Q 2. The four little foxes saw their mother go-. What has the ‘little foxes’ seen? Where

has their mother gone?

A 2. The little foxes have seen that their mother was caught in a trap. In saying that the

cubs ‘watched their mother go’ the speaker means that the cubs watched their mother

die a slow and painful death.

Q 3. Who do you think is responsible for what happened to the mother?

a. The speaker

b. A fox hunter or trapper/ a farmer protecting his livestock.

A 3. b) a fox hunter or trapper/ a farmer protecting his livestock.

Q 4. What does the speaker mean when he asks March to ‘walk lightly’ and ‘step

softly’? why does he do so?

A 4. In asking March to ‘walk lightly’ and ‘step softly’, the speaker is appealing to the

month of March to be gentle and show mercy on the fox cubs by holding back its cold,

frosty winds and dangerous hurricanes. The speaker asks the month of March to do

these things because the fox cubs are lying alone in the freezing cold without any food

or shelter. If the weather continues to be stormy and frosty, the cubs will possibly die.

Q 5. The speaker tells us that the foxes are ‘new- born’ and are thus, helpless. In what

other ways does he describe how weak and vulnerable they are?

A 5. The speaker describes how weak and vulnerable the fox cubs are by using these

words and phrases – ‘new- born’, ‘thin, blue foxes’, ‘whimpering with pain’ and

‘shivering in the rain’.

Q 6. Which lines tells you that the fox cubs mistake the speaker for their mother?

A 6. The line, “the thin blue foxes suckled at my arm”, tells us that the foxes mistook

the speaker for their mother. They do so because previously, their mother was their one

source of warmth and comfort. So when the speaker tried to shelter them and keep them

warm, they mistook him for their mother.

Q 7. We know that spring is a season that is associated with pleasant weather and

abundant source of food. And yet, the speaker appeals even to the spring to be gentle

on the foxes. Why does he feel the need to do this?

A 7. The cruel killing of their mother has left the cubs in such a sorry, weakened state

that even something as gentle and pleasant as spring can be too hard for them to take.

The poor little things cannot do anything for themselves because they are so small and

thus have to depend on the mercy of others to survive. Therefore, the speaker feels that

he must appeal even to spring to be gentler than it already is to the cubs.

SUMMARY:

This poem describes a very sad scene in the woods, when on a cold March morning the

speaker finds a dead vixen in a fox trap, with four cubs lying helpless beside her. The

cubs are so small that they have not even opened their eyes. When the speaker tries to

shelter them using boughs of a tree, the foxes try and suckle his arm, thinking that the

warmth is from their mother. As the speaker leaves with a very heavy heart, the cubs

huddle together in the freezing wind and rain. Through this entire narrative, the speaker

pleads with different elements of nature to be kind to the poor, helpless foxes.

A. Fill in the blanks:

1. An algorithm employs Logical thinking to develop a step by step strategy to

solve any problem.

2. Abstraction is Filtering out details of the problem to focus on the relevant ones.

3. Observing Trends and similarities in data is known as pattern recognition.

4. The process of developing the list of steps that we can follow to finish the task

is called Algorithm design.

5. Understanding the problem and conditions, and defining the goal comes in

Analysis.

B. State True or False:

1. Algorithms are written in computer programming languages. F

2. Abstraction helps to avoid unnecessary complexity. T

3. Logical reasoning means applying formulas. F

4. Patterns help us in spotting similarities in problems. T

5. Debugging means cleaning your surroundings. F

Application Based Questions:

Q1. The class teacher has divided the whole class in groups and assigned different

projects. Ravi is the Team Leader of his group and he is overwhelmed with all the

work. Suggest him the two steps of Computational Thinking that will help him

organise the tasks at hand.

Ans1. Ravi should apply Analysing and Decomposition to organise the tasks. By

analysing, he will have a clear idea of the steps to be taken to complete the tasks and

decomposition will help him to delegate the tasks among his team members.

Q2. Shruti is excited about learning Computational thinking at school. She wants to

explain to her parents that computational thinking will help her in developing some

key-skills. What key skills she should mention to her parents?

Ans2. Practice of computational thinking fosters key-skills in children like,

Perseverance, Debugging, Creating, and Experimenting.

D. Multiple Choice Questions:

1. Computational Thinking is used by…….

a. Humans

b. Computers

c. Both a &b

2. There are..... Key components of Computational Thinking.

a.5

b. 3

c. 6

3. Decomposition refers to …..

a. Making compost

b. Breaking down in small parts

C. Decompressing a file

4. In the context of Computational Thinking, patterns are found in...

a. Dresses

b. Problems

c. Computer

5. Abstraction refers to filtering

a. Irrelevant Solutions

b. Irrelevant Details

c. Irrelevant Details

Answer the following:

Q1. What is Computational Thinking? Where is it used?

Ans1. Computational Thinking is a thought process that includes logical reasoning,

devising step by step solutions, and designing systems.

It teaches us how to solve complex real world problems in such a way that a human or

a computer can effectively carry these out.

Q2. What is the first element of Computational Thinking? What does it define?

Ans2. The first component of computational Thinking is Analysis. It is the process of

understanding the problem and conditions, and defining the goals.

Q3. What is Abstraction in context of Computational Thinking? How is it used in solving

problems?

Ans3. Abstraction means filtering out irrelevant details of the problem to focus on the

relevant ones. It avoids unnecessary complexity, and saves and efforts.

Q4. How does Computational Thinking help to develop the key-skill of Debugging in

children?

Ans4. Computational thinking involves trying various possible solutions and finding

the one that solves the given problem most effectively and efficiently. In the process

of debugging, children learn to find and fix errors.

Q5. What are Patterns? Why is it important to observe patterns?

Ans5. Patterns are trends and similarities among problems. Patterns exist among

different problems and within the individual issues. We need to look for both.

Recognising patterns in data help us to make predictions and use the same techniques

that have been proven to solve similar problems in the past.
