EDITING AND PROOFREADING CHECKLISTS

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The primary purpose of writing and the use of language is communication—to get one’s message or ideas across to another person in an effective manner. It is important that the message is clear so that there are no misunderstandings.

Ensuring that there are no barriers to effective communication, due to poor spelling and grammar or incorrect structure, is vital. Provided on the following pages is a series of checklists for each of the five writing formats: procedures: recounts, expositions, narratives and reports.

Each of the writing formats has its own particular structure or elements which help the students communicate their ideas within the given format. The checklists allow students to ensure that these elements are included and that they have thoroughly checked and edited their work for any errors.

The checklists, which list specific points, provide an opportunity for students and their peers to evaluate their writing and develop their writing and editing skills.

Ideally, providing this opportunity for self-evaluation will allow students to develop a habit of always editing and proofing their work.

SPEAKING AND LISTENING

SPEAKING SKILLS Students need to have a sense of audience and to learn how to engage and communicate effectively.

The chart, ‘How effective are you as a speaker?’ on page 20, can be photocopied and enlarged for classroom use. It focuses attention on the preparation and presentation of information as well as oral communication skills.

Opportunities are provided for students to organise and communicate their ideas to a partner, a small group or the class. Students should be encouraged to set individual speaking goals on which to focus and to evaluate their performance.

Teac he r

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u LISTENING SKILLS S

ew i ev Pr

Providing opportunities for students to engage in active listening is essential, but some students may need to have explicit instruction to understand the requirements of effective listening.

The ‘How well do you listen?’ chart on page 21 can be photocopied and enlarged for classroom use.

It is suggested that teacher and students decide on a particular goal as a focus for a lesson and then evaluate how well this goal was achieved.

VOCABULARY

To enrich the communication skills of students, it is important that they understand all of the concepts of English vocabulary. An increased vocabulary develops the students’ ability to communicate their ideas, making their writing and speaking more descriptive and interesting to read or listen to.

COMPOUND WORDS

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

‘Compound’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘putting together’. Each part of a compound word must be a word that can stand alone.

For example: toothbrush mother-in-law Note: As language changes, many words that were previously hyphenated no longer need a hyphen. Students should be encouraged to consult a recent dictionary.

HOMOGRAPHS

Homo – same graph – write Homographs are words that are written in the same way, but have different meanings, origins and sometimes are pronounced differently. Homographs that sound the same include: sack, ruler, pupil, spring, squash, stole, swallow, bear, saw, felt, train, fast, hold, park, club, court, duck, cape, chop, coach, grave, cricket, march, prune, right, ring, table, wake, dear, watch, last, kind, cross, blind, bored, down, iron

VOCABULARY ANTONYMS Antonyms are words with the opposite meaning.

Finding synonyms and antonyms helps students to develop a wider vocabulary and allows them to write more precisely and interestingly.

Some antonyms are formed by adding a prefix; for example: un, dis, in, im, mis.

USING A THESAURUS

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

The word ‘thesaurus’ comes from ‘thesauros’, a Greek word meaning ‘treasure’. It is considered a treasure trove of words that can be useful when seeking synonyms and antonyms for writing or solving word puzzles.

It is divided into two parts: • a list of entries • an index.

Teac he r

For example (refer to Roget’s thesaurus): fade shade off 27 vb to transparent 114 vb be dim 419 vb lost colour 426 vb deteriorate 655 vb

ew i ev Pr

Students should look for words in the index (the second section), where they will find most words with general synonym(s) and a page reference number, followed by an abbreviant. (The index is arranged alphabetically and the headwords are in bold type.)

The abbreviation indicates the part of speech; e.g. n. noun, adj. adjective.

Students should be encouraged to communicate more exact meaning by avoiding the overuse of some words; e.g. ‘asked’, ‘said’, ‘nice’, ‘got’ and ‘then’.

enquired, requested, queried, questioned, begged, quizzed, appealed, demanded, beseeched, required, implored

ACROSTICS

Teac he r

SIMILES

A simile compares one thing with another and is introduced by the words ‘as’ or ‘like’.

For example: As dead as a doornail.

She ate like a horse.

Similes are used to convey ideas and images and to enrich language.

ew i ev Pr

An acrostic is a series of lines or verses in which the first letters form a word or phrase.

Completing acrostics improves students’ vocabulary and spelling and allows them to concisely describe a concept by their choice of appropriate words and phrases.

SPELLING

o c . che e r o t r s super

Because of the complexity of the English language, there are a number of exceptions to most of the spelling rules.

After students have learned a rule, they should be encouraged to consolidate this learning by seeking exceptions to the rule.

SYLLABLES

Breaking words into syllables is very useful for pronouncing and spelling words.

A syllable has one vowel sound.

The following is a list of rules to determine how words are divided into syllables.

1. When two consonants (same or different) come between two vowels, divide between the consonants. swim/mer

con/test

2. When there is only one consonant between two vowels, divide before the consonant. fa/mous 24

The English workbook – Teachers resource book – Book E

mu/se/um R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

SPELLING 3. When consonants make one speech sound, they are kept together. pro/phet

me/thod

dol/phin

4. The letters ‘re’ and ‘le’ cannot stand alone at the end of a word and must take the preceding consonant. me/tre

sad/dle

5. Prefixes and suffixes are usually separated from the base word.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S joy/ful

sub/mit

dis/o/bey

6. Compound words divide between the small words.

PLURALS

la/dy-/in-/wait/ing

• Most nouns form their plural by just adding ‘s’. socks, shoes, shirts

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

rain/coat

• Words ending in ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘s’, ‘x’, and ‘z’ usually add ‘es’ to make the plural word easier to pronounce. churches, wishes, buses, boxes, quizzes exceptions include: stomachs, monarchs, matriarchs, patriarchs

Note: The ‘ch’ is pronounced like ‘ck’ in these words, so the ‘es’ is not needed for ease of pronunciation.

LANGUAGE FEATURES PARTS OF SPEECH Understanding the different parts of speech will help students construct effective sentences.

Verbs Verbs are words used to show actions or states of being or having; e.g. eat, was, has.

Command verbs are imperatives and are often used in procedures at the beginning of a sentence; e.g. ‘Roast the meat’.

Verb tense: There are three basic tenses. However, because there are so many irregular verbs in English, these can be complex. the future

walked

walk

will walk

has walked

walks

should walk

see

will see

sees

should see

Proper nouns are used to name particular people, places or things. Proper nouns are written with capital letters; e.g. John, Singapore, February.

Collective nouns are words used to name groups of people, animals or things; e.g. a team of footballers. An extensive list of common and less familiar collective nouns used to describe many of these groups is on pages 31–32.

Note: Some groups have more than one collective noun and some collective nouns are used for a number of different groups.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Pronouns are words substituted for nouns; e.g. We asked them to help us.

Students should be able to use personal pronouns in the: First person (used when talking about ourselves; e.g. I, we, me, us) Second person (used when talking to someone; e.g. you) Third person (used when talking about someone; e.g. he, she, it, they, him, her, their) I or me These pronouns can cause difficulty.

‘I’ is used for the subject of a verb.

‘Me’ is used for the object of a verb.

He gave the book to me. (subject) (verb)

(object)

‘He’ is the subject of the verb.

‘Me’ is the object of the verb.

LANGUAGE FEATURES Students often find difficulty with sentences with a pronoun and a proper noun together.

For example: • He gave the book to Mary and me/I. A simple way to work out which pronoun to use is to omit the proper noun.

He gave the book to me.

He gave the book to I. ‘He gave the book to me’ is usually identified by students as sounding ‘better’ and is correct because ‘me’ is the object of ‘gave’.

For example:

C.Publ i cat i ons Comparatives and superlatives •f orr evi ew pur posesonl y• Comparatives are adjectives used to compare two things and usually use the suffix ‘er’.

Adjectives modify or enhance the meaning of nouns and, less commonly, pronouns; e.g. deserted playground, lucky me.

For example:

w ww

Superlatives are adjectives used to compare more than two things and usually use the suffix ‘est’.

For example:

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Graphic organisers are visual frameworks that are used to represent ideas and to organise them in a way that promotes learning and facilitates understanding. They are particularly useful for planning the content, sequence and organisation of a writing task.

Graphic organisers allow students to: • make connections and understand how things are related • develop their more complex thinking skills; e.g. analysing, categorising and evaluating • use visual representations to assist memory and facilitate recall • apply multiple intelligences simultaneously.

Graphic organisers include: • mind maps • flow charts (page 42) • problem-solving charts (page 43) • senses charts (page 44) • tree charts (page 45) • semantic webs (page 46).

MIND MAPS

Mind maps can be used for note taking and as visual prompts for oral presentations. They usually use keywords, colour, drawings and symbols linked with arrows and branches. They are intended to be understood only by their creators. Space should be left so further ideas can be added.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CARTOONS Cartoons use a picture or a series of pictures to communicate a story or message.

Cartoons are often found in newspapers and comment on current political events, politicians and prominent people; for example, Michael Jackson’s nose. Usually the cartoonist aims to make his audience laugh. There are four types of cartoons.

1. A comic strip Generally found in newspapers, they can vary from two to several panels. Often the comic strip will be a complete story; however, it can be written as a serial and continued in the next issue of the newspaper.

Examples of a comic strip include Garfield, Snake, Wizard of Id.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

2. A single cartoon Also found in newspapers, the single cartoon has only one picture. Even though they are funny, often a serious message is portrayed.

3. A comic book This is a collection of cartoons in one book or magazine. The cartoons may be presented as one long story or a series of short stories. Some well-known examples include Calvin and Hobbs, Mad Magazine, The Phantom and Archie.

4. TV and film cartoons Cartoons may be used as a series or a complete work to create a feature-length film. The detail in the drawing and the story line is more complex and may require thousands of pictures to create movement.

Voice-overs, music and sound effects are also required. Some well-known animated cartoons include Beauty and the beast and The Simpsons.
