UPMSP Intermediate Malayalam - Code 116 study plan

Read the first half of the prescribed Gadya lessons once aloud and once silently, marking paragraph-wise argument or narrative turns in the margin.

Write a 100–120 word Malayalam summary of each lesson read this week without looking at the text, then correct it against the original.

Prepare an author card for every lesson's writer covering dates, other major works and literary period, sourced from the textbook footnote plus one library or dictionary reference.

State each lesson's central theme in one sentence and note the social or historical context it responds to.

Finish the remaining prescribed prose lessons using the same summary-and-author-card method from Week 1.

Answer ten textbook questions per lesson from memory before re-reading, and list every point you missed.

Compare any two lessons from different periods and write six sentences on how their style and subject matter differ.

Draw a one-page timeline that places every prose writer studied so far in his or her period with two identifying works.

Read every prescribed Padya poem aloud twice, once for sound and once for sense, marking unfamiliar words and getting their meanings from a Malayalam dictionary.

Write a plain-prose paraphrase of each poem in your own words, keeping the line order so you can quote accurately.

Identify and label the figure of speech in at least five lines from each poem, naming the alankara and justifying the label in one line.

Memorise eight quotable lines, two from each of four poems, and recite them from memory without prompts.

Define twelve alankaras in Malayalam with one textbook example and one original example you compose yourself for each.

Scan each prescribed poem for metre and note whether it is in a traditional vrittam or a folk or modern rhythm, giving the reason.

Explain in 150 words how imagery and sound patterns in two prescribed poems carry the poet's emotional argument.

Solve ten unseen four-line verses by naming the dominant alankara and writing a two-sentence justification.

Classify and work through the main sandhi types with 40 words split into their component parts and rejoined correctly.

Break 30 compound words into their constituent members and name the samasa type each belongs to.

Collect 50 synonym pairs and 50 antonym pairs from the textbook lessons and revise them in five rounds of flash recall.

Correct 25 doctored sentences covering agreement, case endings, redundancy and word order, and state the rule broken in each.

Write three full essays of 250–300 words each, one reflective, one expository and one on a current social issue, within 35 minutes apiece.

Draft two formal letters and two applications in the prescribed format, checking salutation, body paragraphing and closing against the board's model.

Re-read your Week 5 grammar errors and rewrite the ten most frequent mistakes correctly in fresh sentences.

Build a reusable opening and closing bank of five sentences each that you can adapt without sounding memorised.

Construct a dated timeline of Malayalam literary periods from the early Pāzhama and Champu phases through Manipravalam, the Niranam poets, Ezhuthachan and Kunchan Nambiar, to the modern, Romantic, Progressive and contemporary movements.

Place fifteen representative writers on that timeline with one work and one contribution noted for each.

Translate two unseen Malayalam passages of about 120 words each into English or Hindi, then back-translate one to check fidelity.

Answer two unseen comprehension passages in Malayalam within 20 minutes each, writing answers in your own words rather than lifting sentences.

Re-read all prose summaries and poem paraphrases in two 90-minute spaced sessions, testing yourself before each re-read.

Sit one full three-hour mock paper covering all seven domains under exam conditions with no notes or breaks.

Analyse the mock script domain by domain and list the three highest-loss areas with a specific fix for each.

Drill the twenty most frequently missed items from Weeks 2, 5 and 6 until you get them right twice in a row.
