Every one of us lives in a place such as a village, a town, or a big city. Even though these places look different from each other, our home is always the sweetest place in the world. In this chapter, we read the delightful poem 'This is My Town' to discover how much the poet loves his hometown and everything inside it.
The poem takes us on a wonderful step-by-step journey from large places to small objects. First, the poet talks about his town, which has streets. In the street, there are houses, and inside each house, there are rooms. Inside a room, there is a cozy bed, with a basket placed on top of it. Finally, inside the basket, there are some lovely flowers. The poem then reverses the entire chain, connecting the flowers back to the basket, the bed, the room, the house, the street, and the town.
Through engaging activities, the chapter helps learners build important language skills. Students practice rhyming words like house and mouse, and discover words starting with the 'sh' sound, such as shirt, shell, shoe, and shampoo. We also learn the short vowel sound 'e' and practice using 'an' before words like egg and elephant, and 'a' before words like pen and bell. In grammar, the lesson explains how to form plural words by adding 's' or 'es', and shows when to use 'is' for one thing and 'are' for many things.
Learners also practice writing their personal home address and unscrambling letters to form words like bed, room, town, and house. The chapter ends with a cheerful chant, 'Home, home, sweet home,' alongside fun visual activities like spotting differences between day and night scenes and drawing a house.
