BOOKMARKS : Class 3 (Week 3)

Dear Students,

Welcome back to the Library.

If you remember, we had studied the different PARTS OF A BOOK, last week.

I hope you all completed your assignment to draw a book and label its different parts.

Kindly take the first 5 minutes of this lesson to revise and recall the different parts of a book, you can do so with your parents or older siblings.

In today's lesson, we will talk about BOOKMARKS.

You must be wondering, what is a bookmark??

A bookmark is a marker, made from paper, chart paper, cardboard, fabric or leather. This "marker" helps a reader mark the page where they pause reading their book for the day. Placing this bookmark on that page, helps them easily return to it when they wish to continue reading it. 

Refer to the images below for an example of what a bookmark looks like and how it is used :

Bookmarks often have drawings on then or motivational quotes from famous authors or poets or philosophers.

I am also attaching an example of a bookmark that was made by one of my students, last year.

The theme for this student's bookmark was : SAVE WATER
The student used a quotation about water conservation, and added a picture to complete and brighten up the look of the bookmark.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT FOR THIS WEEK IS:

To make a BEAUTIFUL BOOKMARK. The bookmark should be made from a thick paper, so that it is sturdy and durable because you will continue to use this bookmark in your Library class once the schools reopen.

Important Note : April 22nd is Earth Day and we will be celebrating Earth Day this entire week. Hence, I want you to take inspiration from Earth Day and make bookmarks with relevant pictures and quotations about Earth Day or Environment Conservation. Share the pictures of your bookmarks in your class group. 

I also understand that at this moment, a lot of the students might not have chart paper or other arts and craft supplies available at home. If that is the case, it is not an issue at all. This bookmark can be made as and when the markets reopen and your parents are able to source the materials for you.

Note : Kindly mention your name, class and section in the comments.
