Synopsis: The English Standard IX – Part 2 textbook, developed by SCERT Kerala, is a vibrant and inclusive reader designed for ninth-grade students. It features a diverse blend of real-life narratives, poems, and informative articles, aimed at cultivating resilience, critical thinking, and language proficiency. Unit IV, titled Strive and Thrive, includes inspiring life stories such as Bethany Hamilton’s triumphant return to surfing after a shark attack in “The Unstoppable Soul Surfer,” and Neerja Bhanot’s ultimate sacrifice during the Pan Am hijacking in “A Shield of Courage.” These narratives are complemented by Rabindranath Tagore’s powerful poem Walk Alone, which underscores inner strength and independence. Each lesson is supported by thought-provoking activities that develop communication, vocabulary, and reflective writing skills. The book also fosters media literacy and ethical digital citizenship through Unit V, Media Matters, which critically explores the influence of advertising and technology on youth. Rich in moral lessons and creative exercises, this textbook not only enhances language abilities but also encourages students to be socially aware, empathetic, and self-reliant individuals ready to face life’s challenges.
