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, personal revision and assessment to equip students with 3 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 1.indb 2 7/31/2023 3:04:28 PM

Bismu and the 1 Panther My Family and I Listen and Say Aloud Soft ‘c’ sound (‘s’ sound) Hard ‘c’ sound (‘k’ sound) voice city cave corn receive rice cat cut Warm Up Discuss in groups of three. • How far do you travel to go to your school? Is it close to your house or is it far away? • If you walk to school, do you face any problems? Now, let us read a story about a boy named Bismu and a panther he came across on his way to school. Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 1 1 7/31/2023 3:04:33 PM
Reading the Text Bismu lived in a little village at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. He lived with his mother and his little sister, Puja. They were poor folk and Bismu’s mother had to work hard on their little patch of land. The children helped her. They were a happy family and they loved each other dearly. Every day Bismu walked five miles up the mountain path to his school, for there was no school in his village. He enjoyed the climb. One day a man from a nearby village brought some news. ‘There’s a panther roaming in the neighbourhood,’ he said. The villagers listened to him with serious faces. ‘That’s bad news,’ said one of them. ‘Panthers often come down to the villages,’ said another. ‘They do not usually kill human beings.’ ‘It’s the fault of the hunters with guns,’ said a third woman. ‘They shoot at the animals and wound them. Some of the wounded animals die and some don’t. They become sick or lame and cannot run fast and catch a deer in the forest. That is why they begin to come to villages and attack the farm animals and sometimes even people.’ ‘What shall we do?’ cried the people. ‘Do you think the panther will attack us?’ 2 7/31/2023 3:04:37 PM Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 2
Bismu asked his mother the same question when he got home. ‘Perhaps it will go away,’ said his mother, but the panther did not go away. One night, it came prowling into the neighbouring village and carried away a little boy named Sanjay. Sanjay’s screams woke up the villagers. They shouted loudly, and the panther dropped the boy and ran away. But the panther had hurt him badly and he had to stay in hospital for many days. Bismu’s mother was worried. ‘You must be careful, Bismu,’ she said. Bismu promised to be very careful. But one evening, when he was returning from school, he heard the panther’s growl. His heart beat fast and his hands grew cold with fear. He had his pet baby goat in his arms. He knew the panther was very close and it was no use running. Quick as lightning, he climbed a tree. Up and up he climbed, holding the kid. When he could not climb any further, he sat on a branch. At that moment, he saw the panther. Bismu remained very still, but the kid began to bleat. Bismu trembled with fear but held on to the branch. The panther walked round the tree, looking up at Bismu. After a while, it padded away solemnly. Bismu did not know what to do. The kid was bleating and trying to jump out of his arms. ‘Should I climb down or should I stay up here?’ Bismu asked himself. Suddenly the panther returned growling horribly. It put its paws against the tree and began to scratch at its bark. Bismu tried to shout, ‘Panther! Panther! Help!’ But no one heard him. He was really scared. Down in the village, Bismu’s mother and Puja were waiting for him. Sanjay’s father was going home from his field. He stopped to talk to them. Bismu and the Panther 3 Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 3 7/31/2023 3:04:38 PM
‘Bismu has not returned from school yet,’ said Bismu’s mother. ‘I’m very worried.’ ‘I’ll go at once and search for him,’ Sanjay’s father said. ‘I’ll get the other men and we’ll go up the mountain.’ So Sanjay’s father and the other villagers went out to look for Bismu. They had axes in their hands and they walked fast. Puja walked among them holding a lantern. As they walked, the men shouted together, ‘Hoi! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi!’ Up in the tree, Bismu heard their shouts. His courage returned. He called out with all his strength. ‘Help! Help!’ The villagers heard his cries and the panther’s snarls. They hurried forward. The panther saw the lantern. It moved away silently and vanished into the forest. Bismu was saved. He came down from the tree and the search party went home. Bismu’s mother was happy. She was happy to see her son safe and sound. —Adapted from Panther’s Moon by Ruskin Bond 4 7/31/2023 3:04:40 PM Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 4

Reading the Text My father gets quite mad at me; my mother gets upset— when they catch me watching our new television set. My father yells, “Turn that thing off!” Mom says, “It’s time to study.” I’d rather watch my favourite TV show with my best buddy. I sneak down after homework and turn the set on low. But when she sees me watching it, my mother yells out, “No!” Dad says, “If you don’t turn it off, I’ll hang it from a tree!” I rather doubt he’ll do it, ’cause he watches more than me. He watches sports all weekend, and weekday evenings too, while munching chips and pretzels— the room looks like a zoo. So if he ever got the nerve to hang it from a tree, he’d spend a lot of time up there— watching it with me.

Reading the Text Once upon a time, Jack lived on a small farm with his mother. Every day, Jack would help his mother. He would chop the wood, weed the garden, and milk the cow. Both Jack and his mother worked very hard. But still they were very poor. One day Jack’s mother said to him, ‘We don’t have enough money to buy seeds for the farm this year! We must sell our cow, Old Bess. Please take our cow. Sell her. Come back with the money.’ ‘All right, Mother,’ said Jack, ‘It’s market-day today. I’ll go into town and sell Bessy.’ Jack walked across the fields to the river. He had to just cross the river to reach the town. He met a funny-looking old man who said to him, ‘Good morning, Jack. Where are you off to this fine morning?’ ‘Good morning to you,’ said Jack. He wondered how the little old man knew his name. He said, ‘I’m going to the market to sell our cow, Bessy.’ ‘Well, what a helpful son you are!’ exclaimed the man. ‘I have a special deal for such a good boy like you.’ The little old man opened his hand to show Jack what he held. ‘Beans?’ asked Jack, looking a little confused. ‘Six magical bean seeds to be exact, young man. If you plant them overnight, by morning they will grow right up to the sky,’ promised the funny little man. ‘Now take these beans and give your cow to me.’ ‘They’re very pretty colours. Please take this cow and give me these beans,’ said Jack. 14 Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 14 7/31/2023 3:04:50 PM
Jack handed over Bessy’s noose, took the beans, and headed back home to show them to his mother. ‘Back already, Jack?’ asked his mother, ‘I see you haven’t got Old Bess – you’ve sold her so quickly. How much did you get for her?’ Jack smiled and reached into his pocket, ‘Just look at these beans, Mother. They’re magical. Plant them overnight and…’ Jack’s mother was very cross. She pushed the beans out of Jack’s hand. They went straight out through the window. ‘Jack! Go to bed now.’ Jack ran upstairs to his small room in the attic. He went to bed but he was sad. When he woke up the next morning, his room looked strange. He looked out of the window. A huge beanstalk was next to his house. The top of the beanstalk was above the clouds. Jack used the leaves and twisty vines like the steps of a ladder. He climbed and climbed until at last, he reached the sky. At the top was a tall, square castle. Jack counted six, tall gold towers. He opened a large door and went quietly inside. An ugly giant lived in the huge castle. He was sleeping near a huge kitchen. Next to the enormous giant was a tiny white hen in a small gold cage. It was looking sickly. The hen looked sadly at Jack. ‘‘Please help me. I cannot walk. I cannot open my wings to fly. I have not seen the sky for a long time. I always live in this cage.’’ Jack went near the cage. He opened it and picked up the little hen. He walked quickly to the beanstalks and climbed down. Just then the giant opened his eyes. ‘‘Where is my hen? I’m so hungry I could eat three cows. Ah, what’s this I smell? Jack and the Beanstalk 15 Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 15 7/31/2023 3:04:51 PM
‘‘Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread.’’ The giant came running after Jack. When he got to the beanstalk, suddenly he saw Jack disappear. Confused, the giant peered through the clouds and saw Jack underneath climbing down for dear life. The giant stomped his foot and roared angrily. ‘Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, I can see you. I’m coming to grind your bones and make my bread.’ The giant tried to climb down the beanstalk. Jack climbed down very fast. As he neared the bottom, Jack called out, ‘Mother! Please! Hurry, bring me an axe, bring me an axe.’ And his mother came rushing out with Jack’s wood chopping axe in her hand. But when she came to the enormous beanstalk, she stood stock-still with fright. Jack jumped down on the ground. He picked up the axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The giant could not climb down. With his mother’s help, Jack got the sickly hen back in good health. The grateful hen clucked happily and laid a golden egg on the ground. Both Jack and his mother were surprised. It was a special hen. Jack sold the egg. Now he could purchase seeds for the spring crop. He also could buy his milking cow, Old Bess, after some time. He also invited all his friends for a nice meal. And so, Jack, his mother, Old Bess, and the white hen lived happily ever after. 16 7/31/2023 3:04:52 PM Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 16

According to you, which ones show good behaviour and which ones show bad behaviour? Why do you think it is important to behave well? Discuss. Let us read the story of a playful dog named Cocoa and learn how a little girl named Aditi taught him to be a good dog. 22 Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 22 7/31/2023 3:04:57 PM
Reading the Text Aditi was on her way to meet Cocoa. Cocoa was a small puppy she paw had found on the street. His paw had been hurt. Aditi had taken him to Dr Patel. The doctor had liked the playful puppy and kept him as a pet. It was Dr Patel who named him ‘Cocoa’. This was because of his brown fur. Aditi reached Dr Patel’s house and knocked on his door. ‘Come in, Aditi’, said Dr Patel, opening the door. Cocoa jumped up in excitement and ran all around the room. Aditi was surprised upon seeing this. ‘Doctor Uncle, how do you manage Cocoa?’ she asked. ‘Not very well’, the doctor replied. ‘He is chewing up everything in sight. Yesterday, he chewed up the newspaper. Today, he chewed up my slippers.’ ‘What bad behaviour!’ said Aditi with a frown. ‘Cocoa, chewing up behave yourself!’ she said. Cocoa paid no attention to frown her and started chasing his tail. This was too much for paid no Aditi. ‘Cocoa! Stop it right now!’ she said angrily. Upon attention hearing the anger in the little girl’s voice, Cocoa sat down. He hid his head between his paws. ‘Doctor Uncle, chasing you must teach him what is right and what is wrong. This is how I trained my dog, Kiki. Parents love their children, but they also teach them to behave well.’ ‘True, Aditi’, said Dr Patel. ‘Doctor Uncle, I’m going to train Cocoa from tomorrow. I will teach him how to be a good dog’, said Aditi. A week later, Dr Patel could see the results of Aditi’s efforts. Cocoa was a changed puppy. He followed commands. ‘Sit’ meant that he had to sit still. ‘Heel’ meant that he had to walk just behind his master. ‘Paw’ meant that he had to sit down and lift his right paw for a handshake. ‘Aditi, you have done wonders with Cocoa. He is much easier to manage now. Thank you’, said Dr Patel. ‘Remember, Doctor Uncle, loving Cocoa does not mean letting him have his way all the time. It means that we have to teach him to be a good dog’, said Aditi, smiling. – Manjula Shukla Cocoa Learns Manners 23 Hazelwood_English_G3_TB_Part 1.indb 23 7/31/2023 3:05:07 PM
