Generally games are played in every school. In our school we have a very big playground where
the students play games regularly. We also celebrate our Annual Sports Day every year in the month of
January. Preparations for the celebration of the sports day are made much in advance. There is a big gathering
on that day in our school. The students who excel in games are given prizes by the chief guest. The parents of
the students are also invited to attend the sports.This year our annual sports day was celebrated on the 10th of January. The Director of Education
had kindly agreed to preside over the function. The sports day started at 8:00 a.m. with a memorable and
colourful ceremony. First of all the chief guest unfurled the flag. After this there was a march past by the
students in their beautiful smart dresses. After the march past the chief guest declared open the sports meet.
First of all the 100 meter race war organized. The signal for starting it was given by a pistol shot.
One teacher was noting the time with the help of a stop watch. A photographer was also present. He took the
photograph of the boys who stood first. There were many other races like 220 meter race. Half mile race and
one mile race. The hurdle race was very interesting.
After the races were over high jump long jump and pole jump were organized. My friend, Imran
stood first in the long jump. I stood first in the high jump. Then came the turn of discus throw javelin throw.
After this there was the tug of war which was a highly exciting event. The spectators continuously cheered the
participants. Then there was a Kabaddi match between the two teams of our school. It was also quite
interesting in fact the sports day was a very wonderful day. We all enjoyed immensely the various events.
At the end the prize distribution function was held. Before the prizes were distributed a cultural
program was organized. Some students sand patriotic songs while other recited poems. After this the prizedistribution function was held. The chief guest gave away the prizes to the winners. He also congratulated the
prize winners and gave a brief speech.
Then our principal gave a small speech to thank the chief guest for attending our sports day. After this there
was a small tea party and refreshments were distributed to all the students and the guests. Thus ended the
sports day of our school.

3 phases: modelling the target genre
Learners are exposed to :
- examples of the genre they have to produce
- The construction of a text by learners &
teacher
- Independent construction of texts by learners.
Each phase appears only once at most of time,
but the cycle can be repeated when necessary

consciously applying rules.

Genre-based approaches see writing as

form of texts provided by the teacher.
