Diary Entry: A Different Kind of School | English Class 6 (Honeysuckle) PDF Download

Q1: Imagine you are narrator of the story "A Different Kind of School". Write a diary entry in about 120-150 words mentioning about your visit to school.

Dear Diary,

Today was an incredible day at Miss Beam's school! I had heard so much about it, and finally, I got a chance to visit. The first thing I noticed was a girl with bandaged eyes being led by a younger boy. It turned out to be a unique and thoughtful school, teaching more than just traditional lessons.

Miss Beam, a kind and authoritative figure, explained her simple teaching methods. She emphasized the importance of teaching thoughtfulness, kindness, and responsibility rather than just academic subjects. The school had a fascinating practice where each child experienced days of blindness, lameness, deafness, injury, and silence, fostering empathy and understanding of misfortune.

Walking with a bandaged girl, I saw the impact of the blind day. It wasn't just a game; it was a valuable lesson in appreciating the challenges others face. The girl's description of the fear and reliance on others during the blind day touched my heart.

I left with a newfound appreciation for the thoughtful system at Miss Beam's school, where children learn not only from books but from real-life experiences.

Thoughtfully, The Narrator

Dear Diary,

Today, we had a visitor at our school, and I could see the impact of our unique system on him. He was surprised by the bandaged children, experiencing blindness, lameness, and other challenges for a day. It's not just a game; it's an essential part of teaching thoughtfulness and empathy.

The blind day, especially, makes children appreciate the value of sight. As the children described their experiences, I could see how the system encourages them to be more thoughtful and considerate.

Our approach is simple yet powerful — focusing not only on academic subjects but on shaping responsible and kind citizens. The visitor's reluctance to leave indicated that there is indeed something special in our system.

Proudly, Miss Beam
