When you read, you will find different language features that create emotion, interest, visual images and link ideas. It is what makes you want to read more. You are a member of a linguistic team investigating a language feature that adds meaning to sentences. Your task is to work out the ‘how’, and ‘when’ we use these language features.

3. You are a member of a group of 6. There are three different language features for the group. You will form groups of two. The teacher will assign to each pair a different language feature. Each pair will research the language feature, video examples, create rules of use, and then you will work together to create a powerpoint. You will present your powerpoint to the class on Friday. You will also present a worksheet for the class to complete. Presentations should be 10 minutes long with a one-page worksheet. INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION TEACHER NOTES THE TASK
