talking and protesting.(Show the animated images of the boys with the

Shyam: Have you seen what’s happening?
Kushal :Yes. See how ruthlessly they are smashing the trees!
Shyam: I believe some Shopping Centre is coming up here. So they want to
clear up the space, by spoiling the greenery and creating a concrete jungle.
Kushal: Why can’t we stop them?
Shyam: No! They said they had got the orders from the concerned
authorities and they have to clear up the whole space!
Kushal; It’s so sad that many people do not understand the value of trees
and they are being cut down so mercilessly.
Shyam: Let’s organize a written campaign to protest against the cutting of
trees. In this way may be others join us too.
Kushal: I have an Idea! Let’s write an effective Essay on the seriousness of
the situation. This will be circulated in all the localities, so that there is a
social awareness and people are motivated in general, to stop such things

• UNITY

3. PES/ENG/IX/006
VO: Unity of thoughts is very important while
planning to write an ‘Essay.’ Few children think loudly over a given topic. Points are
noted down. Then the essay is written ,with the convergence of the common points,
each one writing the points in his/her own way. Each point is linked to one given
topic ,maintaining the unity of the written content.

Is there any connection between the two lines? Can you guess the topic of the essay

lines now.
f;fynk ;ko/ pfunkA tk;s/ pj[s io{oh j?.jo pZu/ Bz{ ;e{Pb ikDk uzrk brdk j?.
Is there a topic now? Yes. Both the lines talk about education and children. So, our
essay should have a clear topic and the whole essay should talk only about that and
nothing else.

I fell down. I was playing in the park.
The two sentences do not make sense. Was he playing in the park when he fell
down or did he fall down and continue playing in the park? Look at the sentences
now.
(This sentence appears on screen while the Anchor speaks)
I was playing in the park and I fell down.
This makes sense. So, order of thoughts is very important to convey the correct
meaning.
SUPER:
CONCISE
VO. with icon and script shown on the screen. There is no rule to what the
length of the essay should be but it should not be so long that the reader gets bored.
Avoid repeating points and giving unnecessary details.
A teacher asked two sisters Geeta and Payal, why they did not come to school the
previous day. Here is how they answered.
MM2: Show the teacher, Mrs.Sethi,wearing saree, an 8 year old girl,wearing
salwar kameez and chunni, talking. Her dress should have the name Geeta
written on it. Voice over is as follows-

Mrs. Sethi: Geeta, Why were you absent, yesterday?
Geeta:: Ma’am, I had to go for my cousin’s wedding. The wedding was in Mumbai.
Do you know it takes two days by train to reach there? Mumbai is very crowded.
Everybody is so busy there. Didi’s lehenga was so beautiful…
Show another 8 year old girl wearing salwar , kameez and chunni, talking. Her
dress should have the name Payal written on it. Voice over is as follows-
Mrs. Sethi:And why did you not come, Payal?
Payal: Ma’am, I had gone for my cousin’s wedding in Mumbai.

SUPER :
STYLE VO. With icon and script on the screen.
The essay should be in a style in which you want to pass the message to the
reader. You can be humorous or very serious; you can be casual or formal. The
essay should have your individuality. Look at the following sentences.
Text with voice over
Let’s save trees.
We can save trees if we want to.
We must raise our voice and save our trees.
Anchor4 continues:
Can you see the different moods of the three sentences? The first one is casual. The
second one is serious but is not motivating. The third sentence is both – serious and
motivating. Which style do you think Kushal should choose? Now that depends upon
you!

6. PES/ENG/IX/006
Why do we write essays? We have seen why Kushal and Shyam want to write an
essay. They want to educate people on saving trees. But that is not the only reason
to write essays.
An essay can be written on any topic. Based on the topics, we can classify essays
into the following types.
VO with Text on Screen (The words in dark letters should blink.)
A Reflective essay contains our thoughts, belief and opinion on a topic. Example:
‘Speaking the truth’
In a Reflective essay, we present our opinions, our ideas on a topic. Examples of
such topics are: ‘Speaking the truth’, ‘Are joint families better?’ , ‘Importance of
being educated’, ‘Patriotism’ etc.
A Narrative essay narrates an event or events in somebody’s life. Example: ‘Life of
Guru Gobind Singhji’
In a Narrative essay, we narrate an event – when it took place, what happened,
what caused it, what happened after the event etc. We sometimes talk about
different events which took place in a person’s life. Examples of such topics are:
‘20-20 World Cup final’, ‘Life of Mahatma Gandhi’, ‘My first visit to a museum’ etc.
A Descriptive essay describes a place/ thing/ phenomena. Example: ‘Earthquakes’
In a Descriptive essay, we describe the topic. We assume the reader knows
nothing about it. We describe the topic, its causes, effects, relevance; give
examples and facts required by the topic. Examples of such topics are: ‘Volcanoes’,
‘Oil Companies of India’, ‘Right nutrition for children’ etc.
An Imaginative essay contains the imagination of the writer. Example: ‘My space
journey’
In an Imaginative essay, we imagine an artificial situation and write down our
thoughts. We put ourselves in situations we have never been in and imagine how
it must be. The things written in these essays may or may not come true. Examples
of such topics are: ‘If I were the President’, ‘If we lived on moon’, ‘A day without
electricity’.
Often essays are not of one particular type, but a combination of these types. One
need not remember the types, but it is important to be aware of them.

Show the two boys Shyam and Kushal again, talking to each other, the
dialogues in bubbles.

7. PES/ENG/IX/006
Kushal: OK, Let’s start writing the essay. First write down that we should protest
against the cutting of trees.
Shyam: Hey, wait. Don’t start writing immediately. Let’s first arrange our thoughts.
Kushal: How should we go about writing the essay then?
VO with Text on screen:
Before you begin writing an essay, ask yourself the following questions.
• What is the topic of the essay?
• Whom are you writing the essay for?
• What is its purpose?
After you are clear about the aim of your essay, go on to decide what you are going
to write.
• First make a rough outline of the major aspects that you are going to
write about.
.
• Then arrange them in a proper order.
• Now under each major aspect that you wrote, think of the smaller
points you want to include.
• While thinking of smaller details, also think of examples, facts and
proverbs that you wish to include in your essay.
Shyam: So, Kushal. Let’s follow the procedure. We have decided on the topic, it is
‘Save our trees’. Now whom are you writing the essay for?
Kushal: For the public, the residents of this colony. They should know about this.
Shyam: What is the purpose of this essay?
Kushal: Through this essay, I want to educate the residents about the importance
of trees and want to motivate them to join me and protest against this
cruelty.
Shyam: Good. Now that our motive stands clear, let’s make the outline.
Kushal: I will do that.
Cut to Anchor- 5
While Kushal makes the outline for his essay, let’s see how one makes an outline.
Let’s take a topic, say, ‘Education’. We want to write the essay for the people of
7
8. PES/ENG/IX/006
India, children and elderly, and convince them about the necessity of education.
What all should we write in it?
VO with Text on screen:
• EDUCATION-Meaning of the word,or definition of ‘Education’.
• Need for education.
• Present status of education in India.
• Causes for not sending children to school.
• What we can do about it.
• Effect on the child’s life.

Next should be the Needs, causes, then effects, then present status and finally
the steps we can take towards the cause.
Why this order? Well, imagine you are to explain why you are going with your
friends for a picnic. What will you do? First you will explain why picnic is important
and you want to go. Then you will ask for reasons why your parents don’t want you
to go. Then you will tell them, what will happen if you don’t go. Then the present
status, that is, how many of your friends are going etc. And finally you will try to
suggest some steps by which both issues are resolved, like suggesting to go but
come back early. Isn’t it? It’s exactly like that. Develop the topic as if it is a
conversation. Only then will the readers enjoy and understand your essay.

‘Truth’; Narrative- telling about an incident or someone’s life; Descriptive-

writer.
Before we start writing the essay, we should ask ourselves three
questions:
• What is the topic of the essay?
• Whom are we writing the essay for?
• What is its purpose?
After we have answers to these questions, we make a rough outline,
arranging them in order and then writing the minor points.
