CBSE Class 6 English Books Are My Best Friends Worksheet

Read at least one of the following books:

1. Rusty Runs Away by Ruskin Bond

2. The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond

3. The Man-Eater of Malgudi by R.K.Narayan

4. Matilda by Roald Dahl

I. Make a comic strip to present any one part of the book you read. A few tips that will help you make the comic strip:

 Work out the story in writing, giving clear notes as to what you want in each frame (make at least 6 frames) of the comic strip. Add quick sketches with stick figures in your plan. Use pencil so that you can make changes without having to start the plan over. This plan will be your guide.

 Visualize your characters and practice drawing them. (eg: whether your character is tall or short; angry, confused or happy; has a wild hairstyle or a funny nose?)

 Visualize your setting and practice drawing it. You need to make sure you have space for speech balloons, so don’t crowd your settings with too many objects.

 Now make the final draft with pictures and speech bubbles.

II. Make a folder to keep the A4 size sheets. Decorate it by pasting this comic strip on it. Now take a print out of all sheets of English Holiday Homework and put them inside this folder.

III. Make a list of at least 20-30 new/ difficult words from the book. You may underline them in the book itself while reading. Find out their meaning from the dictionary. Write the words along with their meanings in the space provided. Use one balloon for 4-5 words.

IV. Write the name of the protagonist/ favourite character. Write adjectives in the space provided to describe him/ her. You must also write a brief explanation/ state instances from the story to prove your point.
