10TH GRADE ESL CORE Teacher : Ammar

 Comprehension- Skim and scan the text

Examine relevant information from text and find factual details (C/W: Week beginning 15 April 2017)

Note-taking exercise: Use bullet points at the beginning of each line and write short answers that fit the space on the line. Although your answer must be short, make sure you include all the key information

Write a summary: Remember no introduction or conclusion and use linking words to write a summary. Include all the key facts, this will mean looking again at the entire text and underlining relevant points. If you use your own words instead of copying from the text, you have more chance of getting a higher mark.

 Write a longer piece - Directed writing, always check what is the task? a letter, an email etc.

Check that it is the right length and remember to have paragraphs. Answer the question – don’t forget to answer any bullet points. Also, be careful to check your spelling, grammar and punctuation and lastly the writing must be clear to read – so keep your handwriting tidy.

 Review Simple, Compound, & Complex Sentences

For Compound sentences remember Fanboys (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So)

For Complex sentences remember ABE IS TUW (Subordinating Conjunction) a. after, as, before, because, besides, even though, even if, if, since, though, unless, upon, until, when, wherever, while, whenever, whether

 Revise Past/Present simple and Past/Present Continuous
