                        Sample Activity Sheet : Class- XII Sub - English






                        HSC English Activity Sheet

                        1A) Read the first activity, read the extract and then do all the
                        activities : 12
                        A1. Pick out the ways the writer scared the birds. 2

                        We were an agrarian people. And my main hobby in my early teens was to wander through paddy fields to see the different kinds of birds and how they nest. On the outskirts of the paddyfields there had been many coconuts trees. Beautifully crafted nests of the weaver-birds-thookkanaam kuruvikal-would be seen dangling from the ends of palm leaves. Hundreds of these little birds would land on the paddy of the rice-plants at this stage of the paddy, my father would send me to our field with a tin-drum to scare these birds away. But often I have enjoyed the sight of these little birds balancing on the tender stalks and squeezing the milk out of the green rice when the paddy is ripe enough to harvest flocks of parrots would land there and cut the ripe stalks with their sharp beaks and fly away with the stalks dangling in their beaks. I have always liked to see this sight also.
                        The nests of parrots were neatly crafted holes in the trunks of palm trees, I continued to wonder how they made these holes on the hard trunks until I saw the patient work of the woodpeckers. They were the carpenters and their long sharp and strong beaks, chisel. They make the holes (in search of worms inside the weak spots of the trunks) and the parrots occupy them. If I heard the sound tak, tak, tak, I knew it was woodpecker chiseling a hard trunk. I would go after him. It seems that the woodpecker is the only bird which can walk perpendicularly on the tree trunks how beautiful the sight was!

                        A2. Describe the weaver birds 2
                        A3. Choose the statements which refers to the beautiful sight for narrator

                        c) Paddy field at the time of harvesting
                        d) Landing of parrots on paddy, cutting stalks and flying away. 2
                        A4. Give the synonyms of a) outskirts b)dangling c) patient d) perpendicularly

                        5. Do you like to watch birds? Why? 2
                        A6.Rewrite the sentences as per the instructions. 2
                        a) I saw the patient work of the woodpeckers. (Change the voice)
                        b) I would go after him (Use ‘used to’)
                        Q2. Read the activity, read the extract and do all the ativities.
                        A1. Read the following statements. Write true or false. Correct the false statements.

                        1) The duck was excellent in running.
                        2) The rabbit was poor in swimming.
                        3) The squirrel was excellent in flying.
                        4) The eagle was the successful candidate getting top marks.Once upon a time the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a “new world” so they organized a school.

                        They had adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects.The duck was excellent in swimming. In fact, better than his instructor. But he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running.

                        Since he was slow in running, he had
                        to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his webbed feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming.But average was acceptable in school so nobody worried about that, except the duck.

                        The rabbit started at the top of the class in running but had a nervous breakdown because of so much makeup work in swimming.
                        The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying
                        class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of the treetop down. He also developed a “charlie horse” from overexertion and then got a C in
                        climbing and D in running.

                        The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely. In the climbing class, he beat all the others to the top of the tree but insisted on using his own way to get there.

                        At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim exceeding well and also run, climb and fly a little had the highest average and was valedictorian.
                        The prairie dogs stayed out of school and fought the tax levy because the administration would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. They
                        apprenticed their children to a badger and later joined the groundhogs and gophers to start a successful private school.
                        Does this fable have a moral?

                        A2. Complete the sentence
                        All the animals have to take all the subjects because - - - -
