A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER
MOMENTS, a supplementary reader in English for Class IX, is meant for
extensive reading. It is designed to promote a love for reading by exposing
the learners to a variety of materials
An attempt has been made to provide learners with a rich reading
experience through stories of mystery, adventure, courage. growing
up. romance, wit and humour. These carefully selected pieces would
cater to the needs and interests of adolescents and hold the mirror up
to different aspects of life and people
A deliberate effort has been made to gloss only some potentially
difficult words in the stories to aid the reading process. The few
questions given under Think about It' are all global questions, designed
to help learners develop their ability of intelligent and imaginative
reading. The "Talk about It' section has discussion topics which take a
constructive approach to the analysis of contemporary issues. The
learners may be encouraged to interact with their classmates or seniors,
integrate their understanding of the issues and make a purposeful.
personalised, and imaginative oral presentation. A list of suggested
readings is given at the end of each story to encourage learners to
read extensively and independently.

Journey had their biggest commercial success between 1978 and 1987, when Steve Perry was lead vocalist; they released a series of hit songs, including "Don't Stop Believin'" (1981), which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history among songs not released in the 21st century.[7][8] Escape, Journey's seventh and most successful album, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, "Open Arms". The 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band's appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion in the mid-1990s and have since regrouped twice; first with Steve Augeri from 1998-2006,[9] then with Arnel Pineda from 2007 to the present.[10]
