Synopsis: "Poorvi," the NCERT Textbook of English for Grade 8, is crafted in alignment with the National Education Policy 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023. It aims to develop independent reading, writing, and effective communication skills by exploring five diverse thematic units: 'Wit and Wisdom', 'Values and Dispositions', 'Mystery and Magic', 'Environment', and 'Science and Curiosity'. Each unit comprises a selection of stories, poems, and non-fictional pieces designed to foster critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. The textbook integrates cross-cutting themes like Indian Knowledge Systems, heritage, and values, while also focusing on core competencies in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Learning is reinforced through a variety of engaging activities such as 'Let us discuss', 'Let us think and reflect', and 'Let us explore', which are designed to develop vocabulary and grammar skills within meaningful contexts for a holistic educational experience.
