About NBSE Class 9 Alternative English 

The Class 9 Alternative English curriculum designed by the Nagaland Board of School Education aims to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of young learners by exposing them to a diverse array of literary works that explore themes such as morality, social responsibility, scientific inquiry, and the power of imagination. The prose section encompasses a wide range of genres and styles, offering students a comprehensive literary journey.

The syllabus commences with A.G. Gardiner’s “On the Rule of the Road,” an examination of the equilibrium between individual liberty and societal order, prompting readers to contemplate the ramifications of their actions on others. Oscar Wilde’s narrative, “The Devoted Friend,” studies friendship, generosity, and the perils of manipulation, challenging readers to discern the true essence of these virtues. Additionally, “The Ogress and the Two Orphans,” a folk tale from the Chakesang and Angami traditions, imparts lessons on courage and resilience.

Furthermore, the curriculum encourages students to engage in scientific inquiry through Carl Sagan’s “The Tunguska Event: Siberia 1908,” an exploration of the universe’s mysteries and the potential for cataclysmic events, prompting reflection on humanity’s place in the cosmos. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s inspirational speech, “The Indomitable Spirit of Youth,” serves as a catalyst for young minds to pursue their aspirations and contribute meaningfully to society.

The poetry selection provokes the depths of human emotion and imagination. Edgar Allen Poe’s “Sonnet To Science” sparks a discourse on the relationship between scientific progress and the human spirit. Sir Henry Wotton’s “The Character of a Happy Life” paints a portrait of a contented individual who upholds principles of honesty and integrity. Sarojini Naidu’s “The Soul’s Prayer” explores the yearning for knowledge and the interplay between life and death. Finally, Dr. Sedengulie Nagi’s “Mother’s Tears” offers a perspective on the devastating impact of substance abuse on individuals and families.

Leo Tolstoy’s “The Tale of Ivan the Fool” provides a theatrical canvas for exploring moral dilemmas and societal values. Through the contrasting characters of Ivan and his brothers, the play examines the themes of greed, power, and the importance of living a simple and honest life.
