Introduction10′
The teacher reminds learners that the quarterly examination is approaching and that this week revisits Unit 3, not new material, and asks:
- Can you name the four lessons we studied in Unit 3?
- Which one did you enjoy the most, and why?
Prose Recap — Old Man River30′
The teacher re-walks the sequence (three-day rain → dam breaks → phone lines dead → Jim organises supplies → Sara rescued pickaback → signal for help → Red Cross boat arrives) and re-asks the original questions: who wrote the play, where Amy's father was, why Amy's mother couldn't come home, and how Jim signalled for help.
Poem Recap — On Killing a Tree30′
The teacher re-walks the poem's argument (a jab can't kill it → hacking heals over → only pulling the root, then sun and air, finally kills it) and re-asks who wrote it, why a knife-jab isn't enough, and what happens to the bark after hacking.
Supplementary Recap — Earthquake30′
The teacher re-walks Brij's story (earthquake destroys 602 villages → Brij treks home → finds family buried → an officer sends help → baby Bhuli rescued alive) and re-asks where Brij was when it struck, how many villages were destroyed, and why he begged the officer not to give up on Bhuli.
Grammar Recap — Clauses, Phrases & Non-Finite Verbs30′
The teacher re-states the three patterns — independent vs. dependent clauses, phrases with no subject or verb, gerunds/infinitives as non-finite verbs — and re-sets the three original items (the dependent clause in Kavin's sentence, "coffee ___ tea," and whether "the black hat" is a clause or a phrase).
Consolidation Mind Map20′
Students draw one combined map with four branches, one per text/topic, then compare in pairs and fill any gaps with the teacher.
Practice Test45′
Sec. AOne-mark recall, one question per text.
Sec. BTwo-mark understanding, one question per text.
Sec. CHigher-order, answer any two of the four texts.
Sit it like the real exam — silent, timed, notes closed.
Remedial15′
Students who missed Section A are shown the matching poster and re-asked the same question, then paired with a fluent classmate for one retelling.
Follow-uphome
Three quick exam-day tips (read twice, answer sure questions first, recheck grammar identification), then revise the flashcards for whichever text felt hardest today.
