ENGLISH

I. Prepare a pictorial presentation in the form of a story (comic strips) with suitable pictures

drawings and sketches based on any one of the following proverbs:

Every cloud has a silver lining You reap , what you sow Don’t count your chickens before they hatch Rome was not built in a day. Pride hath a fall. All that glitters is not gold. The pen is mightier than the sword. Fortune favours the brave. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Practice makes the man perfect.

NOTE: The presentation should be made in a brochure/ booklet form using coloured A-3/4 size sheets. II. India is a land that is truly incredible. It has given the world notable authors, poet, and scientist

Humanitarians who have excelled in their respective fields and brought laurels home.

India, namely Rabindra Nath Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, Vikram Seth and Salman Rushdie.

Incorporate interesting trivia about these great authors and poets and recognize their contribution to

the world literature. The brochure should contain their photograph or sketch and information about

their life and works. Include details such as name, year of birth, place of birth, ant titles held them,
