Today, we're going to learn about the proper format of a notice. A notice should clearly show the name of the issuing authority at the top. Can anyone tell me what that means?
Does it mean we should write who is sending the notice?
Exactly! It lets the reader know where the notice comes from. After that, we write 'NOTICE' in bold letters followed by the date. Why do you think the date is important?
So everyone knows when it was written?
That's right! Next, we have a heading or subject that captivates the reader's attention. Can someone think of an example of a catchy heading?
How about 'Annual Science Fair'?
Great example! Now letβs move on to the body of the notice. It should present all necessary details. Who can tell me what kind of details we should include?
We need to include what the event is, when, where, and any specific instructions!
Exactly! Remember the phrase 'What, When, Where, and Who.' These are essential to create an effective notice.
To summarize, a notice must have a clear format, including the issuing authority, the word 'NOTICE', the date, a catchy heading, and detailed body content.

Now that we've covered the format, let's talk about the key information that should be included in a notice. Why is it important to specify 'what' the notice is about?
So people know what to expect!
Exactly! The 'what' sets the context. Next, how about 'when'? Why is timing crucial?
We need to know when the event is so we can plan to attend!
Spot on! We should also indicate 'where' the event will be happening. Student_3, can you think of a notice example that misses the location?
If it says there's a meeting but doesn't tell where, I wouldn't know where to go!
Exactly! It highlights why every 'W' is significant. Finally, the purpose is key as well. Why should we explain the reason for the notice?
To inform people why they should care about it!
Absolutely! Summarizing, effective notices must detail the 'what', 'when', 'where', 'who', purpose, and specific instructions.

A notice is a brief, formal piece of written communication used to convey important information to a specific group of people, typically within an organization, school, or community. It is designed to be easily readable and to quickly convey essential details.
Detailed Explanation
A notice serves as an official way to share important information with a selected group of people. This could be students within a school, members of a community, or employees in a workplace. The aim of a notice is to ensure that the relevant audience understands the information quickly due to its concise nature.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a notice like a flyer or a poster you see at school that tells you about an upcoming event, like a science fair. Itβs brief, direct, and meant for students who need to know about it.

β Format:
β Name of Issuing Authority/Organization: Placed at the top, centrally aligned, indicating who is issuing the notice (e.g., "ABC School," "Residents' Welfare Association").
β The Word 'NOTICE': Written below the name of the authority, in bold and capital letters, clearly indicating its nature.
β Date: Placed on the left side, below 'NOTICE,' indicating when the notice was issued.
β Heading/Subject: A clear, concise, and catchy title indicating the purpose of the notice. It should grab attention and inform the reader at a glance (e.g., "Annual Sports Day," "Lost and Found").
β Body: The main content of the notice, presenting all necessary information in a clear and factual manner. It should be brief and to the point.
β Writer's Name and Designation: At the bottom, on the left side, followed by the writer's signature (if handwritten). This provides accountability for the information.
Detailed Explanation
Effective notices follow a specific format to ensure that critical information is conveyed clearly. It starts with the organization's name at the top, clearly identifies that it's a notice, includes the date it was issued, and has an engaging heading. The body contains detailed but concise information, and it concludes with the writer's name and designation for accountability.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine posting an announcement for a talent show at school. You start with the school's name to show it's official, write 'NOTICE' boldly so everyone knows what it is, add the date, create a catchy title like 'Get Ready for Talent Night!', and finally, provide all the details like the date, time, and venue. You sign it to show it was you who created the notice.

For a notice to be effective, it must answer the critical 'Ws' and 'H':
β What: Clearly state the event, activity, or information being announced. What is happening or what is being communicated?
β When: Specify the date(s) and time(s) of the event, meeting, or deadline for action. Be precise with timings.
β Where: Indicate the venue or location where the event will take place or where the information is relevant.
β Who: Identify the target audience for whom the notice is intended (e.g., "All students of Grade 9," "Residents of Block B").
β Purpose: Briefly explain why the notice is being issued (e.g., to inform about a holiday, to invite participation, to request submissions).
β Contact Person/Details: Whom to contact for further information, clarification, or to register. Provide a name, phone number, or email address if necessary.
β Specific Instructions: Any actions required from the recipients, such as bringing certain items, submitting forms, or attending a specific location.
Detailed Explanation
An effective notice needs to provide all essential details that the audience must know. This includes answering key questions: What is the event? When and where will it take place? Who should be concerned? Why is it important? If there's a need for follow-up, a contact person should be listed, and any specific actions required from the audience should be clearly stated.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a notice about a field trip. Youβd need to say what the trip is (What), when it's going (When), where theyβll go (Where), who should come (Who), why it's happening (Purpose), whom to contact for questions (Contact Person), and if they need to pack lunch (Specific Instructions). This way, everyone knows exactly what to expect and whatβs required.
