Okay, here is the structured markdown format of the texts in the image/document provided. ### Anne's family e. Anne's family made the most of the good weather by lounging on the folding bed in the attic. ### Reference to context **2.** * **a.** "The four of us" refers to Anne, her sister Margot, and their parents. They were in hiding during the war and wanted to listen to England on the wireless, which was available in the office, so they went to the office at night. * **b.** The narrator's mother felt well enough to cook split-pea soup earlier in the day. * **c.** No, the mother couldn't cook the soup as she went downstairs to talk and forgot all about the soup. So the peas were scorched black. **3.** * **a.** The curtains were made of scraps of fabric, varying in shape, quality and pattern. * **b.** Anne's family had gone into hiding to escape persecution by the British during World War II. They made curtains so that the neighbours couldn't see them. * **c.** The narrator refers to the curtains as a 'work of art' because they varied greatly in shape, quality and pattern, and were stitched together by unskilled hands. They were patchy and appeared like modern art paintings. **4.** * **a.** A bookcase that opened like a door was built to hide the entrance to the Secret Annexe. Initially everyone banged their heads against the low doorway, causing bumps on their foreheads. * **b.** Mr Kugler thought that many houses were being searched; therefore, it would be better to hide the entrance to the Annexe. * **c.** Peter van Daan tried to cushion the low doorway by nailing a towel stuffed with wood shavings to the door frame. ### Read, reflect and write **5.** Anne said that she loved the Westertoren clock because its sounds were reassuring to her in the dead of the night, and whenever there was silence. Because the family was in hiding, they had to keep very quiet in order to not be caught. All that silence made Anne nervous and the clock's chime reassured her in a way. **6.** It was not a proper home that but the Secret Annexe was an ideal place to hide. It was damp and lopsided, but it was also somewhat comfortable and more like being in a small hotel during a holiday. Anne's family and the van Daans made modifications to the place that made it seem more like home. **7.** Anne decorated her walls with her postcard and film star collection. She and her father made curtains. The place had loads of food and some supply of reading material. The van Daans arrived and made a food safe and so on. Therefore, although the Secret Annexe was secret and not really a home, Anne's family and the van Daans and their friends made it into a makeshift home. **8.** Anne was not very happy with the situation but she was trying not to be sad, because there was no other way for them to survive. You can sense Anne's nervousness when she says she is waiting for the van Daans to arrive, when she tries to decorate her walls so that the place looks cheerful, when she says that she would give anything to have one of their helpers sleep with her. They were not free and each of Anne's diary entries underlines that fact. Being a child, she gets a little excited about the events in the Secret Annexe. But she is only trying to make the best of the situation. **9.** When two countries are at war, there is unrest in the countries. Innocent people and children are killed. Soldiers are killed. Food supplies are cut off. Normal life is greatly affected. There is destruction everywhere. **10.** The students should expand upon the following points. At first, Anne is excited to be in this new place and the whole event seems interesting. The family starts making modifications to the hiding place, to make it somewhat comfortable and easy to live in. It is very quiet in the annexe, which makes Anne nervous. She feels it would be better after the van Daans arrive. She learns to adjust to live with the van Daans, especially with Peter. She still gets very scared despite having so many people around. Because she does not have any books, she is unable to do any schoolwork or read. Towards the end, Anne is not excited any more to be in the annexe. Encourage the students to think creatively and formulate their own answer for the last part. **11.** Refer to the Integrate section in the Lesson Plan. ### Word wall (pages 142-143) **1.** * **a.** have a free hand: have the freedom to act or take decisions * **b.** have a hand in: have a share in doing/ planning something * **c.** take something or somebody in hand: have control of something or someone * **d.** hand-to-mouth existence: have barely enough money to survive * **e.** wait on hand and foot: attend to someone's wishes * **f.** lend a hand: help someone voluntarily * **g.** wash one's hands off: let go of a responsibility * **h.** know like the back of one's hand: know something very well * **i.** go hand in hand: two things that are together * **j.** be in safe hands: be with someone who can be trusted **2.** * **a.** hand-to-mouth existence * **b.** waited on hand and foot * **c.** have a free hand * **d.** lend a hand * **e.** have a hand * **f.** wash his hands off the matter * **g.** know (her) like the back of my hand * **h.** take the matter into their hands * **i.** in safe hands * **j.** go hand in hand ### Grammar time (pages 143-147) **1.** * **a.** Ms Han bakes these cookies. * i.

People trace the origins of the game back to a time when young shepherds defended a ball thrown at a tree stump or at the wicket gate of a sheep pen. They would defend the ball with their curved sticks or crooks. A modern cricket ball weighs between 156 and 163 grams. The Hambledon club was the first club to set down rules for cricket. Subsequently, the control of cricket was passed on to the Marylebone Cricket Club. When a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries, we call it hat-trick. The term came into use after HH Stephenson was presented with a hat after he took three wickets in three balls at the Hyde Park ground, Sheffield in 1888. **2.** Students may be encouraged to research and speak on their own. ### Making connections (pages 166-167) **1.** * **a.** Trust yourself even if other people doubt you. * **b.** Don't lie even if people lie to you. * **c.** Treat success and failure the same way. * **d.** Be determined and cultivate a strong will. * **e.** Remain virtuous at all times and don't change with times or people. **2.** * **a.** * i. By *keep your head*, the speaker means to be rational, calm and composed when faced with adversity. * ii. A person can *make allowances for others* for doubting him by understanding their reasons for doubt and having faith in one's belief. * **b.** * i. All that one has worked hard to earn, be it money or fame, is to be risked. * ii. *Pitch and toss* is a game of skill and chance in which the player who pitches a coin nearest to a mark has the first chance to toss all the coins, winning those that land heads up. In this poem, Kipling says one must have the courage to take a risk, and should one lose, one must be brave enough to accept failure and start all over again. * iii. We must not talk about our losses as it is no good crying over spilt milk. We should learn to take bad times in our stride and move on. * **c.** * i. The speaker calls the *minute unforgiving* because time does not wait for anybody and gets past very quickly. * ii. The speaker proposes to fill the *unforgiving minute* by doing the most in the sixty seconds that make a minute. In other words, time is always running, so we should utilize it very efficiently. * iii. To be successful in life, one must learn to follow the rules listed out in the poem. This will lead to success in whatever one does and provide the maturity to be a man. **3.** Encourage the students to think creatively and formulate their own answers. *If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too*; Others may not believe that you can win a race because you are small and not athletic. But if you hold on to your faith and run the race with your determination, you can win it.
