FACULTY OF EDUCATION, P. U., PATNA

B.Ed. Year - I
EPC 1: READING AND REFLECTING ON TEXTS

Course No.: EPC 1 Theory: 40 Marks

Course Credit: 2 Practicum: 10 Marks
COURSES OBJECTIVES
Language is the medium for comprehending ideas, for reflection and thinking, as well as for
expression and communication. Enhancing one's facility in the language of instruction is thus a
vital need of student teachers, irrespective of the subject areas that they are going to teach. This
course is visualized as a range of primarily text-based language activities, which will aid in
strengthening the ability to 'read', 'think', ‗discuss and communicate' as well as to 'write' in the
language of instruction. It is likely that student teachers will begin the programme with different
levels of language ability; hence group work that supports different levels of learning is
envisaged as a central feature of this course. It is also intended that the student teachers will
develop a taste for and abilities in reading and making meaning of different kinds of texts. They
will also learn to engage with ideas and appreciate that different kinds of writing are used to
communicate these ideas in different contexts. Overall, areas of language proficiency which are
emphasized are those that will lay a foundation for their becoming self-learners, reflective and
expressiveteachers, and collaborative professionals.

COURSE CONTENTS
UNIT I: ENGAGING WITH NARRATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNTS
The selected texts could include stories or chapters from fiction, dramatic incidents, vivid
descriptive accounts, or even well-produced comic strip stories.
Suggested Activities
 Reading for comprehending and visualizing the account (individual plus group reading
and discussion/explanation)
 Re-telling the account – in one's own words/from different points of view (taking turns in
a smaller group)
 Narrating/describing a related account from one's life experience (in front of a smaller
group)
 Discussion of characters and situations – sharing interpretations and points of view (in a
smaller group)
 Writing based on the text, e.g. summary of a scene, extrapolation of story, converting a
situation into a dialogue, etc. (individual task).

UNIT II: ENGAGING WITH POPULAR SUBJECT-BASED EXPOSITORY WRITING

The selected texts could include articles, biographical writing, or extracts from popular
non-fiction writing, with themes that are drawn from the subject areas of the student teachers
(various sciences, mathematics, history, geography, literature/language pieces). For this Unit, the
student-teachers should work in groups divided according to their subjects, within which
different texts could be read by different pairs of student-teachers.

59 | P a g e
2 Year B.Ed. Syllabus of Patna University

Suggested Activities
 Reading to extract overall meaning, information, subject knowledge (guided reading in
pairs and simple note making) using reading strategies, such as scanning, skimming and
reading for extracting information
 Identifying major concepts and ideas involved and making notes on these in some
schematic form – flow diagram, tree diagram, mind map, etc. (guided working in pairs)
 Explaining the gist of the text/topic to others (in the larger subject group)
 Attending the writing style, subject-specific vocabulary and 'perspective' or 'reference
frame' in which different topics are presented—this will vary across subjects and texts,
and requires some interpretative skills for 'placing' the context of each text (group
discussion and sharing)
 Writing a review or a summary of the text, with comments and opinions (individual task)

UNIT III: ENGAGING WITH EDUCATIONAL WRITING

Selected texts could be drawn from the wide range of popular educational writing in the
form of well- written essays, extracts or chapters from authors who deal with themes from
education, schooling, teaching or learning. The writings selected should present a definite point
of view or argument about some aspects of the above themes. Student-teachers can be grouped
randomly for this Unit.
Suggested Activities
 Reading for discerning the theme(s) and argument of the essay (guided reading-
individually or in pairs)
 Analysis of structure of the essay/article, identifying sub-headings, key words,
sequencing of ideas, use of concrete details, illustrations and/or statistical representations,
etc. (guided working in pairs)
 Analyzing the structure of the argument—identifying main ideas, understanding topic
sentences of paragraphs, supporting ideas and examples, terms used as connectors and
transitions (guided small group discussion)
 Discussion of the theme, sharing responses and point(s) of view (small group discussion)
 Writing a response paper (individually or in pairs)
 Presentations of selected papers, questions and answers (large group).
PRACTICUM:
Read any one of the following texts and give critical appraisal of it:
 Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
 Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
 The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
 Wings of Fire by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
 Deevaswapna by Gijubhai Badheka
 De-schooling Society by Ivan Illich
 Juthan by OmprakashValmiki
 National Policy on Education 1986
 Learning without Burden-Yashpal Committee Report
