Paragraphs middle

It outlines 6 steps: 1) Draw boxes to structure the paragraph; 2) Add time connectives; 3) Add topics; 4) Add arguments; 5) Add examples; 6) Finish the paragraphs. As an example, it demonstrates completing the first paragraph about mobile phones causing distraction at school with examples from a study and a student survey. It prompts the reader to finish the other two paragraphs on mobile phones increasing bullying and being expensive.
T7 types of verbs
There are three main types of verbs: action verbs, being verbs, and having verbs. Action verbs express physical actions like run or swim. Being verbs include forms of to be like is, are, was. Having verbs involve forms of to have like has, have, had. Verbs are the most important part of a sentence since they supply the action and make other elements interact.
Subjects and objects
This document discusses identifying the subject and object in sentences. The subject is who or what is performing the verb. To find it, identify the verb first. The object is who or what receives the verb. Several examples are provided to demonstrate finding the subject and object. Students are then prompted to identify the subject and object in sample sentences. The purpose is to teach the concepts of subject and object and have students practice applying these grammar rules.

T7 comparison

T7 scaffold ul
The document discusses exposition writing and provides examples of different types of expository writing such as letters, newsletters, definitions, and reports. It also explains that a scaffold provides structure for writing by outlining the key parts needed, including a statement of position, arguments, and concluding statements. The three sections of an exposition writing scaffold are described as the introduction of the writer's viewpoint, arguments supporting their viewpoint, and a conclusion that restates their position without new information.
T7 statement of claim
The document provides guidance on structuring an expository essay. It recommends writing the middle section first, then the opening paragraph or statement of claim, and finally the conclusion. It also provides a template for organizing the essay using three boxes and a dotted line to represent the structure of introducing the topic, providing examples, discussing the larger issue, and stating the argument and position in the linking sentence below.
T7 purpose of exposition
The purpose of this exposition text is to:
Persuade the reader that homework is unnecessary and should be reduced or eliminated. The author argues that research shows time spent on homework does not improve academic performance and infringes on family time. Children would be better served spending their non-school hours pursuing interests, reading for pleasure, or relaxing rather than doing homework. Schools should not interfere with home life without valid evidence that homework provides benefits.
T7 end marks
The document discusses the differences between statements and questions. Statements are sentences that tell or inform the reader about something, do not start with question words, cannot be answered, and end with a period. Questions ask the reader something, start with question words like who, what, when, where, why, how, can be answered, and end with a question mark. The document provides examples of statements and questions and asks the reader to identify whether examples are statements or questions based on these defining characteristics.
T7 nouns
A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Common nouns are general people, places, things or ideas that do not have capital letters, while proper nouns use specific names that do have capital letters. The document provides examples of common nouns like "farmer" and "school" and proper nouns like "Max" and "Maryborough District Hospital". It then has quizzes to identify whether underlined nouns are common or proper, and find missing capital letters in sentences.
T7 apostrophes
An apostrophe is used to show possession and to indicate where a letter has been removed from a word. It is placed after the possessive noun to indicate something belongs to that noun, such as "Amy's ballet class" or "the Jones' lives." An apostrophe is also used after plural nouns not ending in 's', such as "the parents' bedroom." Other uses include contractions where two words are combined, like "they've" from "they have." The document provides examples of correcting use of apostrophes in a passage about a family and their busy week.

T7 scanning texts
- 3. What is scanning? Scanning is not reading every word in the text. Scanning looking at a text and quickly finding information. For example. As quickly as you can find out from the following text how big a Redfin fish grows. When you have found the information raise your hand. Your teacher will time how long it takes. Of the original ten English Perch or Redfin as they are known here, received from England in 1868 only seven survived. From these seven have come the Countless millions of Redfin found in Australia today. The Redfin’s popularity as an angling fish stems from the fact that it is found in a wide variety of waters, grows to a large size, has excellent eating qualities, and can be caught on wet flies, spinners and baits.
- 4. Lets try again! This time scan the text for the names of the two British legends mentioned. In modern times many people live in cities or Urban areas. Although people Have many books to read and films to view, stories about strange events and happenings in city life are still sometimes passed on by word of mouth. Such stories are called ‘urban myths’ or ‘urban legends’. Like the old British legends of King Arthur or Robin Hood, they have no known author and have been passed on by word of mouth.
- 5. A challenge! This is a competition to see who can scan a text for information the fastest. When you have found the information raise your hand and turn your page over. Look at the text you have been given. (English Mosaic p48 Bushfires). Scan the text to find the following information. When should people leave their house if a bushfire happens? What is it very dangerous to store near a house? In which paragraph does it mention the fire brigade? What should people do with their lawn? What should people do with their cars?
- 6. Scanning your own book Partner challenge Using the book you are reading, set a scanning challenge for your partner. Find some words or events that happen on a page of your book. Decide on three words or events on that page that your partner must find. For example: In which paragraph does the word Norway appear? What was the taxi driver wearing? Write out your three questions then give them to your partner. Time how long it takes for your partner to scan the text and find the information. Can you beat your partners time?
