PREFACE The latest National Curriculum Framework (NCF), furthering 1 the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, provides a comprehensive framework for the holistic 5 2 development of students. It places a strong emphasis on 4 foundational literacy and numeracy and a competency-based and learner-centred approach to ensure a well-rounded education that prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century. ClassKlap by Eupheus partners with schools and supports them through the steps of planning, teaching, learning, 3 personal revision and assessment to equip students with the desired knowledge and skills relevant to the 21st century. The present series has been carefully crafted to provide a solid foundation for students keeping in mind the principles outlined in the NCF. The books promote active learning and skill development and strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. The books have been split into two parts for lighter bag weight. Listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are the fundamental skills involved in learning any language. Students’ mastery of them is also key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the English Coursebooks and Grammar and Composition books provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all four LSRW skills. To this effect, the English books offer the following features: Theme-based literature pieces across grades Samples of Indian writing in English as well as pieces by canonical authors of English literature Pictures for word meanings to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words Supplementary literature pieces (without questions and answers) to nurture the habit and love of reading Speaking projects and reading comprehension passages in each unit to further hone speaking and reading comprehension skills Horizontal and vertical progression of grammar concepts across grades to provide a spiral of cumulative learning Samples of format-based writing to provide a scaffolding of learning of formal writing The English books and teacher companion books aim to generate greater engagement with and enhance fluency in English language communication. We are confident that they will empower students to develop a genuine appreciation of the language and its literature. Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 2.indb 2 7/31/2023 4:29:44 PM

There is a big rock that Androcles can sit on. Androcles enters the stage, rushing and panting. He stops at the middle and bends forward, as if trying to catch his breath. He is carrying a water jug. Lion is lying down at the edge of the stage. Narrator: You’re about to meet our hero, the slave Androcles. (points to Androcles) Life as a slave in ancient Rome was usually very difficult. And he lived under one of the cruellest masters in all the city. Androcles: (pants, out of breath) I think I’m in the woods now. I don’t have to clean and wash and work the whole day in my master’s house. This rock looks very comfortable for me. (drinks from his water jug). Ah, it’s good to be free. (tries to sit comfortably on the rock) Lion: Grrrrr Androcles: Oh! It’s a huge lion. I can’t run away. I’m very, very tired. (Lion roars louder and louder. After some time, it starts sobbing and moaning.) Lion: When I ran through the thorn bushes, I got hurt in my front paw. It’s paining a lot. (makes a pleading noise and nods at Androcles) Lion: (thrusts out paw for Androcles to see) Grrrrr! Androcles: Oh, your paw looks really sore!
