Preface ClassKlap partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. Our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. ClassKlap presents the Traveller series, designed specifically to meet the requirements of the new curriculum released in November 2016 by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). Guiding principles: The 2016 CISCE curriculum states the following as a few of its guiding principles for English language teaching: Connecting learning to life in the outside world Integrating English with other subjects across the curriculum Using meaningful contexts to develop language as a whole Making assessment for learning an integral part of the teaching-learning process Ensuring active participation of children by using a variety of activities and tasks Each of these principles resonates with the spirit in which the ClassKlap textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books have been designed. The ClassKlap team of pedagogy experts has carried out an intensive mapping exercise to create a framework based on the CISCE curriculum document. Key features of ClassKlap Traveller series: B ooks for English are mapped to the assessment patterns of English-I and English-II in ICSE schools. T he grammar concepts covered in English-I have a horizontal and vertical progression across the grades, providing a spiral of learning. T he writing sections contain a wide variety of topics with a focus on process-based writing in higher grades. T he English-II book also covers all the themes recommended by the CISCE curriculum across classes 1–5. A hallmark of ICSE English is a wide representation of authors – Indian and foreign. The Traveller series includes pieces by writers such as Charles Dickens, Rabindranath Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain among others.

Rehana and her parents love their garden. Read the words in bold in the above paragraph. All these words are doing words or action words.

Remember Do not add ‘-s’ or ‘-es’ to action words that come after ‘I’, ‘we’, ‘you’, ‘they’ and plural naming words. Examples: • I go to the park every day. • We live in that house. • They come here in the morning. • Dogs bark loudly. Add ‘-s’ or ‘-es’ to action words that follow ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’ and singular naming words.

Simple past tense We visited Delhi in May. The city was very hot. My sister and I played in a park. We stayed with our aunt and uncle there. The above paragraph describes actions that are complete or finished. Such actions are written in the simple past tense.

Examples: Simple present tense Simple past tense I study for my exam. I studied for my exam. He likes to study. He liked to study. They watch a movie. They watched a movie. • The past tense forms of most action words are made by adding ‘-d’, ‘-ed’ or ‘-ied’. In most action words that end in ‘-y’, we change the ‘-y’ to ‘-ied’ to make their past tense forms. Examples: like – liked, smile – smiled, rain – rained, learn – learned, copy – copied, try – tried, cry – cried • In the simple past tense: is and am was are were Can you think of five activities that you did yesterday?
