 ASSIGNMENT 5
1. While reading a magazine you came across the following article.
There is a growing lack of sensitivity and respect for our fellow creatures.
There is talk about the food web and the energy cycles and ecological
balance and how removal of any element disrupts the whole system,
and how this can affect human beings too. What this approach lacks
is the essential interaction with Nature and with other human beings.
Indeed, in many environmental activities the opposite takes place.
You are an educationist and feel that Environmental Education imparted in schools needs reorientation.
The stress should not be on preserving Nature for human use, but for protecting animals and plants

N
for their own sake. Based on the information given above and ideas from the Unit Environment, write
a letter to the editor of a national daily in about 120 words on the subject and give it a suitable title.

5. While reading a magazine you came across the following article. An excerpt follows.

The increasing number of match fixing cases and doping incidents prove that the spirit of sportsmanship has
gone out of sports. A tennis player manhandling the referee, violence breaking out during a soccer match, and
an athlete stripped of his medal for having tested positive for drugs. These are the headlines in the newspapers.

You are the Sports Captain of your school and feel strongly about inculcating the true spirit of sportsmanship
among players of all ages. Based on the information given above and ideas from the Unit Sports and
Games, write a letter to the editor of a national daily in about 120 words on the subject Spirit of sportsmanship
has vanished from sports. [CBSE 2011 (TERM II)]
