Practical Work
Candidates will be asked to carry out experiments for which instructions are given. The experiments may be based on topics that are not included in the syllabus but theoretical knowledge will not be required. A candidate will be expected to be able to follow simple instructions, to take suitable readings and to present these readings in a systematic form. He/she may be required to exhibit his/her data graphically. Candidates will be expected to appreciate and use the concepts of least count, significant figures and elementary error handling
A set of 6 to 10 experiments may be designed as given at Council Website or as found most suitable by the teacher. Students should be encouraged to record their observations systematically in a neat tabular form – in columns with column heads including units or in numbered rows as necessary. The final result or conclusion may be recorded for each experiment. Some of the experiments may be demonstrated (with the help of students) if these cannot be given to each student as lab experiments.

Course Content
The school follows the ICSE prescribed syllabus. Through their B and A Forms the students read through William Shakespeare‟s As You Like It, 15 short stories from The Treasure Trove of Short Stories (Frank Bros. & Co.) and 15 poems from The Golden Lyre (Evergreen Publishers). Detailed description of the course may be found at
In Language, students learn the art of essay writing, report writing, general comprehension and functional grammar.
Learning Objectives
The English Department, with its 8-member faculty team, is at the heart of all activities at The Doon School. Through the department‟s involvement in academics, publications, activities, literary tours and trips, awards, public speaking, debating and participation in various international competitions, the English department seeks to develop a well-rounded creative child. Any child, who diligently walks through all the avenues that the department offers, should be able to cultivate diligent reading habits, ability to participate in a variety of discourses and should be cognitively and linguistically capable of holding forth on a broad array of issues. Finally, the English Department is not merely a Language Department; it deals with, not merely the teaching of the language, but also the elements of Literature, Philosophy, Human Sciences and Theory of Knowledge.
Skills Acquired by Students
The department believes that by the end of A Form every child must be equipped with an appetite for reading more, an ability to undertake reference and research work on his own, an ability to comprehend and comment on a text, an understanding of a variety of literary genres and an evolved understanding of the connotation of the word “text”. The students must be equipped to take on the requirements of IB or the ISC boards with required rigour.

The school follows the ISC prescribed syllabus. Through their S and SC forms the students read through William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, 15 short stories from Hues: An Anthology of Short Stories and 15 poems from Star Light. Detailed description of the course may be found at http://www.cisce.org/data/Syllabus for ISC 2011/ISC Appendix -I-Listof Prescribed TextBooks.pdf
In Language the students learn the arts of essay writing, report writing, general comprehension and functional grammar.
In Literature in English the students study three texts of Literature from a choice of five prescribed texts, across the genres of drama, prose fiction and poetry. The texts are chosen by the teacher. The syllabus is different in S and SC forms. The department tries to provide a comprehensive understanding of literature through this course.
The School at S and Sc Forms also offers the elective subject of Literature in English. Unlike Core English this component is taught through different sets of text in S and Sc. The final Board exam taken by the boys is on the texts of the Sc form only. Like the Core component the entire year has two report card examinations and two trials. In the each term there is a report card test and a trial. Internal assessment for these involves allocation of 100% marks to a three-hour examination paper. Students take one written paper of 100 marks at both the trials and one 1 ½ hour paper of literature of 100 marks in the report card tests. The details of the syllabus and assessment can be found at http://www.cisce.org/data/Syllabus for ISC 2011/8. ISC Literature in English.pdf
