Reading is very necessary for learning a language well. Only a good reader knows the finer nuances of speaking a language like an art. At Udgam we always recommend fostering reading habit as early as possible, beginning right from Preschool. To further emphasise the need for regular reading, our school celebrated Reading Week from December 1 to 6 in English, Hindi, Sanskrit and Gujarati.
The Primary Section made the most of the week by inculcating activities like answering riddles, extempore speaking from chits drawn, sequencing jumbled stories, rapid fire, spinning the yard, poster making, tongue twisters, writing and reading aloud simple poems, reading newspaper articles and discussing, character description from folk tales and noun games.
In Middle Section activities that were pursued to enhance reading were news reading like a reporter after dividing new into categories like International, National, State, Sports and Weather. Along with sessions of story, book reading penned by famous authors was undertaken. In Hindi, children were encouraged to chant dohas by Kabirdas along with video screening. In Gujarati class, children had to draw lots to read books. Sanskrit reading was made interesting by giving them topics from grammar. The groups took down names and presented their topics on charts, quiz, dumb charade, housie, flash cards and so on.
The senior school children presented book reviews of novels read by them. The students shared with their classmates the highlights of the novels read, the various characters depicted, the ratings the book deserved,etc.While some students used PPTs to present their reviews, others depended on their verbal skills to interact with the others and convey the content of the book read.
In the main action area of reading, the School Library, the students were shown videos of famous stories with morals. There were activities like story writing, paragraph writing, draw-a-picture, writing about your favourite character and Read-a-thon.
A Book Fair was a Grand Finale to the Reading Week. It was attended in large numbers by students, parents and teachers. The children went around excitedly from shelf to shelf and selected books to buy and take home. We hope the spirit of reading will continue in the times to come...
On March 31th there was an extempore in Messina in front of ruins of Cammarata house, a self-built fantastic architecture of the '70s.

Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg
By William Wordsworth
When first, descending from the moorlands,
I saw the Stream of Yarrow glide
Along a bare and open valley,
The Ettrick Shepherd was my guide.

"Commedia dell'arte (Italian: "play of professional artists" also interpreted as "comedy of humors"), also known as Extemporal Comedy, was a popular form of improvisational theater which began in Italy in the 15th century (1400s) and maintained its popularity through to the 18th century (1700s), although it is still performed today. All of their performances were outside with few props, unscripted and were free to watch, funded by donations. In a troupe there were 10 people: 7 men and 3 women." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commedia_dell'arte
"At the "Trinity Christian Church at Skippackville" , Bishop Hunsicker placed the Rev. Joseph Hendricks in charge. He was the minister who helped organize the congregation and served it for 42 years, until his death in 1905. He was also pastor of "Trinity Christian Church of Freeland", at Collegeville, and at Ironbridge Chapel (in Rahn's Station, now Rahns). His services were generally in German. Rev. Hendricks married Bishop Hunsicker's daughter, Catherine (b. 1/9/1840) on 10/21/1858. He was born on 12/21/1834 in Upper Providence Twp., died 11/21/1905. They had 5 children. Raised on his father's farm, Joseph entered Freeland Seminary in 1851 under principle Rev. Henry A. Hunsicker (Abraham's son). He attended the Seminary during summer months and taught in public schools for four consecutive winters. In 1856, he was appointed to assistant teacher in the Seminary, and then to vice-principle of the institution two years later. While performing these positions he was chosen and elected to the ministry by the members of the Trinity Christian Church in Collegeville, being installed in April, 1862. This required so much time that he resigned from the Seminary. The Church merged into the Reformed Church in 1888 (against the wishes of his brother-in-law Rev. Henry A. Hunsicker who wanted to preserve his father's work of building a nondenominational church). Rev. Hendricks has the distinction of having served the same charge longer than any other living pastor in Montgomery County (as of 1911). He officiated at more than one thousand funerals. He was greatly loved by his congregation and in much demand outside of his own church. He was a fluent and forcible preacher, speaking entirely extempore, in a rapid, earnest and convincing manner. In June, 1881, Ursinus College awarded him a degree of M.A. and in June, 1897, the degree of D.D. He is buried at the Collegeville cemetery of the Trinity Christian Church which he served so long and faithfully."
I give money to actors to prevent unemployed actors wandering the streets and harrassing the good citizens of Auckland. If left idle roaming bands of actors perform extempore in clumps and may descend into the farce that is mime.

Jason Levine is a musician, performer, and computational poet who collaborated with Professor Eran Egozy. His residency focused on the interactive and generative qualities of coding to create real-time software systems for live performance. In April Levine visited classes, gave a public lecture, and led a workshop where he discussed his livecoding performing practice, and more generally how algorithms can be appropriated to create music and art. Workshop participants learned how to use the Extempore livecoding language to synthesize sounds and create rhythmic patterns, and were encouraged to experiment with using code in an improvisational or artisanal mode in contrast to the traditional problem solving mentality associated with coding.

We had been to Bard for the Monday evening "Exploring Shakespeare" talk. On this occasion it was given by C C Humphreys on his play "Shakespeare's Rebel". We had learned about this on Saturday night when we went to "Love's Labours Lost" and got there early to hear the pre-show talk as I had never seen that play, and wanted to be able to get my bearings. Just as well since LLL has been greatly adapted for Bard.
Humphreys was fascinating and gave a great performance in costume and could probably have gone on extempore all night. He talked about swordsmanship, history and politics. How Shakespeare came to write Hamlet and what its significance was at the time, and how he came to write the book and then the play.
And, if that wasn't enough, when we came out afterwards the sun had just set and was still bathing the sky in this warm red glow. I had the phone rather than the camera and this early shot was the best of the bunch I shot as we walked back to the car.

UDAAN Society inform about Plastic Waste and Childline through Extempore Speech
Every moment of our life is unscripted like an extempore competition. What comes on our platter at that allotted two minutes time is completely unknown. Perhaps that’s the beauty of this competition.
On 1st August’2018 UDAAN Society led by Aligarh Childline, organised awareness cum extempore competition at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Aligarh. The competition was organised to spread awareness regarding Child protection & welfare and plastic free state among the children.
The coordinators of the programme were Childline Coordinator Ms. Nancy Vargese and Ms. Apoora Maheshwari.
Ms. Nancy explained the students regarding Child’s right and issues. She also discuss regarding the working of Childline, how it works and what it do, for a child. Ms. Apoora gave a brief in respect of plastic free state.
Then, the extempore competition was conducted and the speakers were from the class XII. The students were zealous. They quickly got into their calm domain to tackle the uncanny topics conscientiously and prudently only to make each one praise worthy and a spontaneous speaker. The judgment was on the basis of content, relevance to the topic, confidence, clarity of speech, presence of mind and body language. Ashutosh got the first prize, Rashmi got the second prize and Manikanth got the third prize. All the participants were given chocolates for their active participation. This activity was intended to give an opportunity to the students to build up their self-confidence and to get knowledge in respect of their rights. Priyanshi Agarwal our Student Volunteer coordinated the whole programme and arranged the prizes too. www.udaansociety.org/15032-2/

With exceptional speech skills, Presidians played with words at the extempore competition. They made the most out of the opportunity to speak impromptu and shared their thoughts on various current topics like ‘The Namami Ganga’ project, The Kulbhushan Jhadhav case in
International Court of Justice, global terrorism etc. Presidians from Grade IX and X participated in the competition. Their astute and sharp-witted responses gathered cheerful applauds from all corners.Such extempore, debate and speech competitions enhance the skills of listening attentively and the ability of critical thinking in students. They also learn to articulate their thoughts confidently and persuasively.

We went to a most fascinating lecture by Larry J. Schaarf about Talbot, Herschel & the invention of Photography.
It was arranged extempore by The Finnish Museum of Photography.
After the lecture, we asked Larry J. Schaarf to sign three books that we had brought with us. He kindly signed them for us.

As Larry was just passing through Finland, the lecture was arranged extempore by The Finnish Museum of Photography.
Larry was one of the best lecturers I've ever listened to. He was also so considerate and asked me if I could see the screen well from my seat.
He kept us, the audience, for about two hours listening to his well articulated, interesting and wonderful speech. It was a pleasure to hear him talk.
After the lecture, I asked Larry J. Schaarf to sign three books that we had brought with us. He kindly signed them for us and told us some interesting inside information about one of the books.

The day was drawing to a close but I felt like getting out of the house for a bit. So, I grabbed my bike and instead of riding my normal route, decided to explore the old VA medical center. It's on the tip of a peninsula with views of both the Bay and Key Bridges and there are a lot of really cool old buildings. When it was open and I was much younger, my Mom and sister and I would go to their canteen for soft-serve ice cream. For old-time's sake, I rode over to the canteen (which is tucked away in an alcove) and a man popped out from around the corner. We both startled each other, because you really don't expect to see anyone down there. Anywhoo, we got to talking and he's been going through the buildings and clearing everything out because the hospital's been closed for a few years and the plan is to convert the property into a senior living facility. Everything he finds is otherwise going to be thrown away, so he can keep anything he'd like. He showed me a really awesome old old bike that still rides (really well, actually) and just a ton of other cool things. Then, he showed me a few flags that had flown over the VA years and years ago but were taken down and retired once they began to tatter. I really thought that was cool -- and he gave me a flag!! And it is HUGE! Huge and old and tattered. And I love it. With the flag under my arm as I biked away, I saw a gorgeous sunset over the steel mill and Key Bridge. Perfectly spontaneous evening.
Church of St Mary - At the time of 1086 Domesday Pulford was already partly held by the canons of St Werburghs Chester. The first stone church was built in 16c replacing an earlier wooden ? one.
By 1801 the church had fallen into a "very indecent state". Fortunately repairs etc were made 1816-33 under the patronage of the new Grosvenor Lords of the Manor, but by 1881 "extempore shower baths" were coming through the leaking roof and Hugh Grosvenor 1st Duke of Westminster generously provided a new building complete with spire designed by John Douglas, the work being done by estate workmen.
On 31st July 1991 at 1.30pm the oak shingle clad timber framed spire caught fire possibly due to an electrical fault aided by jackdaws nesting material www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/7466043192/ . - With £30,000 raised by the congregation, insurance compensation and a considerable donation by the Duke of Westminster the repairs were completed by May 1993.
On March 31th there was an extempore in Messina in front of ruins of Cammarata house, a self-built fantastic architecture of the '70s.

Augustin place, in 2008 twice named after the ballad singer, bagpiper and extempore poet Marx Augustin (1643-1685) and the singer, chanteuse, actress and dubbing artist Liane Augustin (1928-1978). Marx Augustin is said to have been very popular because he cheered the population of the city with its ribald songs especially during the plague in Vienna in 1679. To him, the ballad O du lieber Augustin is attributed, but which only in 1800 for the first time is proven in Vienna. The legend of the "dear Augustin" in reality could go back to the book The Plague in London (1772) by Daniel Defoe. Liane Augustin sang in the postwar period upscale Viennese songs as well as German and international evergreens. In the radio charts the artist especially succeeded with cover versions of American hits. In 1958 for Austria she took part without much success at the Euro Vision Song Contest in Hilversum.
Augustinplatz, 2008 doppelt benannt nach dem Bänkelsänger, Sackpfeifer und Stegreifdichter Marx Augustin (1643–1685) und der Sängerin, Diseuse, Schauspielerin und Synchronsprecherin Liane Augustin (1928–1978). Marx Augustin soll sehr beliebt gewesen sein, weil er mit seinen zotigen Liedern vor allem während der Pest in Wien im Jahr 1679 die Bevölkerung der Stadt aufheiterte. Ihm wird die Ballade O du lieber Augustin zugeschrieben, die jedoch erst um 1800 in Wien nachgewiesen ist. Die Legende vom „lieben Augustin“ könnte in Wahrheit auf das Buch Die Pest zu London (1772) von Daniel Defoe zurückgehen. Liane Augustin sang in der Nachkriegszeit gehobene Wiener Lieder sowie deutsche und internationale Evergreens. In den Radiohitparaden reüssierte die Künstlerin vor allem mit Coverversionen amerikanischer Hits. 1958 nahm sie für Österreich ohne großen Erfolg am Eurovision Song Contest in Hilversum teil.
