Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Process Writing
3. • Make as many words as
you can in one minute
from the following word.
• Pronunciation
4. Exemplar Rubric Text
Today before we had writing groups Mrs. John read us
a story about frogs. We had to write about frogs. We
had a tadpole in the science center. It has two back
legs and when it has two front legs its tail disappears
and it cannot eat when its mouth is changing. Then
the skin gets too little and the frogs pull off their skin
and they eat it. Some fo the frogs blow bubbles.
Frogs laid eggs that look like jelly and the fish eat
some but some hatch to tadpoles. It grows bigger and
bigger and bigger.
5. One of the strategies with
which we find success in
comprehension instruction is
the usage of questions.
May I suggest that asking
questions in writing will help
create better writers.
6.
7. • Turn to a partner
• Write three questions
prompted by this picture
• These questions now
become the beginnings
of a narrative.

Carlos, Maria, and I went to the Wal-mart on Thursday
evening. Maria drove us in her Mazda convertible.
Carlos bought some new shirts to wear. Maria bought
a new dress. I bought a new pair of boots to wear to
work. We had a lot of fun at the Wal-mart. I like being
with my friends. We tell jokes and like being together.
Describe the shirts, dress
and boots. What color
were they?
13. By just asking
questions, you can flesh
out a very simple form
of writing to give it more
meat and build its
volume.
14. Considerations in Writing
• Write Often, Model Often, Release Often
• Use a learning progression in working with writing (James
Popham, 2007), building blocks
• Design a continuum of writing for assessment
(www.readingandwritingproject.com)
1. Use an on demand benchmark to begin measure
2. Compare to your continuum
3. Monitor their progress over time compared to the
continuum
4. End the year by an on demand piece and show the
progression
• Provide students with clear goals and effective feedback
15. In Process Writing:
1. Target the instruction- don’t try to
get all the lions out of the jungle the
first day
2. Offer constant feedback, but let the
children do the work (they don’t
learn from what you do, but what
they do)
3. Use a writers workshop model with
six trait writing
