Real book

5. In the beginning of the story , Tommy
found a book – ‘real book’ as quoted by
Margie in her diary.
Margie was quite excited to see
the real book for the first time.
Luckily, the book was about
SCHOOL
Both of them quite interested to
know what’s written inside it.

FUTURE SCHOOL
Features of real book used in the old school – letters printed on papers , yellow , crinkly

stored more than thousand book together in a provided slot.

9. Old school classrooms and Future school classrooms
Were taught in buildings ,
many students were present
and they learned the same
things at the same time.
Students had no such
particular classrooms ,
they had a separate room
in their houses.
The classes were started at the same
time everyday.
Saturday and Sunday were holiday
for the students.
There was no co- curricular activities
for the students
Students were happy to return
from the school together.

10. Ways of conducting Home work and Test between OLD SCHOOL and
FUTURE SCHOOL
OLD SCHOOL - exam , class test , writing on papers , clarifying doubts
.
FUTURE SCHOOL – typing on a computer screen , put the test papers
on a special slot.
