CBSE Class 9 Comic Books

On March 25, 2021, Hon'ble Minister of Education announced the release of 100+ comic books for students of Class 3 to 12. Comics are a collection of graphics that can be used to illustrate a story and deliver its message interestingly. Graphics used in a comic catch the eyes of the students promptly, which is why CBSE has added comic books in the learning resources for students.

In the table given below, we have provided free PDF download links to CBSE Class 10 Comics of All Subjects, along with our observations on them.

As soon as these comics were released, we were prompt about analysing these CBSE Class 9 Comics in detail and learned about their advantages or shortfalls. Here are some of them:

Advantages

• Encourages Creativity: We observed that these comic books are poorly designed, yet the students may find the overall presentation of the storyline fun and imaginative.
• Practice Questions: Each comic book comes with some fun objective questions like crosswords, word grids, MCQs, etc. This helps the teachers test the knowledge of the students on the basis of the content.
• Application-based Scenarios: Comic books for technical subjects also contain applications of the concepts in real life, which improves recall value of the chapters in students.

Shortfalls

• Not Enough Content: So far, CBSE has released comic books in alignment with only a few NCERT chapters (and in some cases, just topics). This creates an inconsistent pattern for the teachers in their teaching methods. If CBSE really wants students and teachers to adopt these comics as a valuable learning material then they must at least release one comic book for each chapter of each NCERT book.
• Unsuitable Questions: This comic book comes with worksheets after every section but each of them has some questions like “Match the Following” and “Crossword Puzzle”, which will not prepare the students for new types of questions as per the latest Class 10 Board exam pattern that includes A/R Questions, Source-based Questions, etc.
