WRITE IT RIGHT (p.103)
Brainstorm the topic with your students. Here are some ideas which can help you. When we write a narrative, we generally start by setting the scene. At this stage, we generally use the past simple and past continuous. e.g., It was in 1989. It was in summer. It was early in the morning. The breeze was blowing ...
Once the scene is set. Mention an event that interrupts or disturbs the
scene ( eg., Suddenly an earthquake shook out our building) and narrate or describe what was happening. ...
Your students will write about their own personal experiences with catastrophes.
SAY IT ALOUD AND CLEAR (p.104)
The rule for stress in compound words is as follows.
If the compound word is a noun, the stress goes on the first part; e.g.,
greenhouse - blackbird.
If the compound is an adjective, the stress goes on the second part; e.g.,
Old-fashioned - sweet-tongued
If the compound is a verb the stress goes on the second part; e.g.,
understand - overlook
However, in connected speech, compound words are subject to stress shift when a stressed syllable follows closely.
( From Christiane Dalton and Barbara Seildlhoffer, Pronunciation, (Oxford University Press 2000, p.103)
Once upon a time there was a little red-haired and blue-eyed girl who was loved by all who knew her. She was called Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mother told her to take some sweet-smelling cakes to her grandmother who was living in the woods, but not to go into by-paths. That was dangerous.
When Little Red Riding Hood reached the woods, she met a funny-looking and bad-smelling wolf . Naturally, Little Red Riding Hood did not know what a wicked animal the wolf was! She thought that it was kind-hearted. So she listened to it when it told her to pick up some bluebells and daffodils for her grandmother.
While Little Red Riding Hood was picking flowers, the wolf entered her grandmother’s house and ate her up. Then he put on her grandmother’s night gown and night cap and went into the bedroom. When Little Red Riding Hood got to her grandmother’s house, she found the door wide open. Obviously something was wrong. Even her grandmother was odd-looking.

Act. Two (p. 104)
The rules are included in activity one. It has to be observed that there are some exceptions to the rules. For example, compound words are subject to stress shift when a stressed syllable follows closely. It is the case of red-haired and blue-eyed in red-haired and blue-eyed girl. Please explain the stress shift in compound words before moving on to the next activity. (Cf. Daniel Jones, Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary 16 th Edition, p. 111)
Discuss with your students about how compound words with adjectives are formed and on which word stress normally falls.
Act. Three (p.104)
“Ohì grandmothershe saidî, ‘what big ears you have !” ì
“ The better to hear you with, my dear,” said the wolfî.

And the wolf jumped out of bed ìand swallowed up Little Red Riding Hoodî. A huntsman saved Little Red Riding Hood î
and her grandmother by cutting out the wolf’s stomachî. They both lived happily ever afterî.
Act. Four (104)
The students will form as many words as they can. e.g., big-eyed - left-handed

c-The writer reports both facts and opinions. S/he does so in order to
explain the reason why the accident happened. The facts are there, we can’t change them, but the author’s opinion can be questioned on the basis of the background knowledge that the readers/students might have about the different actors and the cirmcumstances in which the accident happened.
