I would like to talk about this website which is recommended by our lecturers. This is a website of reading, writing and technology skills for students. We can found AP & IB, Book Reports, Children's Literature, Drama, ENL/ESL, Grammar, Home, Interdisciplinary, Journalism, Just for Fun, Literature (Prose), Media, Mythology, Poetry, Professional Resources, Reading/Literacy, Shakespeare, Speech, Study Guides, Vocabulary, Writing and Young Adult Literature in this website. For an example, in grammar, there are acrostic poetry, action verbs, adverbily, adverbs, collective nouns, conjunctions and many more. For Nouns and Adjectives, student can identify nouns and adjectives in a passage about life in a different culture and
to increase awareness of nouns and adjectives, to add descriptive adjectives to gain meaning, to gain an understanding of a country's culture and to imagine yourself as a character living in a country and be able to write about what a day in your life would be like. Other than that,
Sufficient Suffixes: Four in a Row, this game, designed for upper elementary, challenges students to add suffixes to change a word to a different part of speech. To play this game, you have to follow these instructuions,
Play one against one or in two teams of two.
Each team has a different coloured set of word
cards.
Take turns to pick a card.
Is it a noun? Find a suffix on the board that will
change it into a verb.
Is it a verb? Find a suffix on the board that will
change it into a noun.
Is it an adjective? Find a suffix that will change
it into a noun.
You may also find verbs that can be changed in
adjectives.
The first team to get four cards in a row, vertically,
diagonally or horizontally is the winner.
PS Use the record sheet to write down the words
you create, and use a dictionary to check their
spellings.
