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 21, 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 22 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.

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

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.

SIMILES

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

w ww

ALLITERATION

Alliteration is the repetition of consonants at the beginning of words.

m . u

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

. t e o MASCULINE AND FEMININE NOUNS c . che e r o t r s super For example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Alliteration can create rhythmical or musical effects and can focus attention on qualities or attributes.

Although some nouns refer to the masculine and feminine genders, others are gender neutral. For example: mother, father, parent

Students need to be aware of gender bias and understand the fact that some long-established vocabulary has been changed. Because many of the the former occupational restrictions no longer apply, more neutral terminology is needed. For example: police officer, actor, waitperson To increase students’ vocabulary, it is recommended that they be encouraged to identify and correctly use a variety of these gender terms for people, occupations and animals. Lists of these nouns are provided on pages 35–36. Students can research to compile similar lists of people and occupations.

SPELLING

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

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S swim/mer

con/test

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

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.

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

mu/se/um

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.

joy/ful

sub/mit

dis/o/bey

w ww

PLURALS

. te

rain/coat

m . u

6. Compound words divide between the small words. la/dy-/in-/wait/ing

• Most nouns form their plural by just adding ‘s’.

o c . che e r o t r s super socks, shoes, shirts

• 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 exception 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.

• Many words ending in ‘o’ also add ‘es’ in the plural form. tomatoes, potatoes, heroes, echoes But there are numerous exceptions, including words ending with ‘oo’ and some words associated with music. In many recent dictionaries, both endings are included. ‘oo’ words: bamboos, kangaroos, cockatoos, zoos, shampoos music: banjos, solos, duos, trios, pianos, sopranos, radios, altos, cellos, videos others: ratios, zeros, merinos, silos 26

The English workbook – Teachers resource book – Book F

R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

SPELLING • Nouns ending in ‘f’ or ‘fe’ change the ‘f’ or ‘fe’ to ‘v’ and add ‘es’. knives, wolves, halves, selves Exceptions include: words ending with ‘ff’: stuffs, puffs, skiffs, cliffs, staffs, sheriffs

Note: Both forms of some words are accepted: dwarves or dwarfs, wharves or wharfs, hooves or hoofs.

others: reefs, gulfs, chiefs, roofs, waifs

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

• Nouns ending with a consonant and a ‘y change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ before adding ‘es’. babies, puppies, flies, spies, libraries

tooth – teeth oasis – oases person – people goose – geese parenthesis – parentheses criterion – criteria ox – oxen cherub – cherubim, cherubs

woman – women foot – feet die – dice cactus – cacti, cactuses radius – radii, radiuses fungus – fungi, funguses axis – axes crisis – crises emphasis – emphases louse – lice medium – media, mediums phenomenon – phenomena sphinx – sphinges, sphinxes child – children mouse – mice, mouses (computer)

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Some plurals are made by changing some letters of the base noun or by adding an unusual suffix.

• Some words may have the same singular and plural forms.

• Some nouns have no singular form; many of them are thought of as ‘a pair of’.

w ww

m . u

trousers, bathers, spectacles, glasses, pants, tweezers, pliers, clippers, scissors, secateurs, bellows, tongs, measles, billiards

ADDING SUFFIXES

A suffix can be described as a group of letters added to the end of a word. Suffixes changes the meaning of words. Examples of suffixes include:

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

able, age, al, an, ance, ary, ate, en, ence, er, ery, ese, est, ful, fy, hood, ible, ic, ion, ish, ist, ive, less, ling, ly, ment, most, ness, or, ous, ship

• Suffixes are usually just added to the end of the word.

work, worked, workable, working, worker

• Sometimes the spelling of the base word changes.

shut–shutting, happy–happily, shape–shaping The one-one-one rule for adding suffixes beginning with a vowel requires understanding of: • consonants and vowels • short and long vowels • syllables.

R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

The English workbook – Teachers resource book – Book F

SPELLING one-one-one rule When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to words of one syllable, with one short vowel sound followed by one consonant, double that consonant. shop – shopper

cut – cutting

Note: Words of more than one syllable with a prefix or which are compound words also double the final consonant.

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

dropping the ‘e’

babysitter

outrigger

Teac he r

Another rule for adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to a word, usually with a long vowel sound and ending with a silent ‘e’, is that the ‘e’ is dropped before adding the suffix. shape – shaping

close – closing

ew i ev Pr

Note: An interesting exception is ‘likable’. Macquarie dictionary prefers ‘likeable’, but also acknowledges ‘likable’. A simple way for students to remember part of this rule is: ‘e’ goes away when ‘ing’ comes to stay

adding ‘ly’

‘Ly’ is usually just added to words. quick – quickly

love – lovely

LONG VOWEL SOUNDS

m . u

There are some exceptions. 1. Whole – wholly. The ‘e’ is dropped before adding ‘ly’. 2. True – truly, due – duly. There are already two vowels at the end of these words so one is dropped before adding ‘ly’. 3. Horrible – horribly, simple – simply. These are two examples of words ending in ‘le’ after a consonant. The ‘e’ is changed to ‘y’.

w ww

Students need to be aware of some of the different ways the common long vowel sounds are represented in English. Compiling a class list is recommended. These include:

. te a e i

CONTRACTIONS

o u

– o, oa, ow, o–e, oe, ough – u, u–e, ue, iew, ew, ui

Contractions are more common in speech and dialogue. Contractions are used to make communication quicker and easier. Students need to be aware of the purpose and conventions of contracting words and understand that the apostrophe indicates that letters have been omitted. Contractions are often: • pronouns plus auxiliary verbs (e.g. am, is, are was, were, has, have, had, will, shall, would, should) Note: Proper nouns and auxiliary verbs can also be contracted; e.g. January is the hottest month, January’s the hottest month. • auxiliary verbs plus not • other words often contracted include: who, where, there, that, how, why, let, must, might, ought, need, dare 28

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.

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

the future

walked

walk

will walk

has walked

walks

should walk

see

will see

sees

should see

irregular saw

has seen

Note: The future and past tenses often use auxiliary or ‘helping’ verbs to form a compound verb; e.g. have written, can open, may visit, were asleep.

Adverbs

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

regular

the past

Adverbs are words that can modify or enhance the meaning of verbs; e.g. He swam slowly, I sang yesterday. There are adverbs of time, place and manner. time; e.g. tomorrow place; e.g. outside manner; e.g. quickly

w ww

Nouns can be can be categorised as: • Common nouns name general rather than particular things.

. te

For example: clock, chair, tree

m . u

For example: boy, school, book, joy, courtesy.

• Proper nouns are used to name particular people, places or things. Proper nouns are written with capital letters. For example: Tom Smith, Sydney, Yarra River

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Collective nouns name groups of people, animals and things.

For example: gang, herd, collection

An extensive list of common and less familiar collective nouns used to describe many of these groups is on pages 33–34. Note: Some groups have more than one collective noun and some collective nouns are used for a number of different groups. • Abstract nouns name feelings, states and actions. For example: anger, hunger, theft

The English workbook – Teachers resource book – Book F

LANGUAGE FEATURES Pronouns 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)

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S He gave the book to me.

(subject) (verb)

(object)

‘He’ is the subject of the verb. ‘Me’ is the object of the verb.

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

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

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.

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’.

w ww

m . u

I went to the movies. Me went to the movies. With the proper noun omitted, students can usually identify that ‘I’ (the subject) is correct and sounds ‘better’.

An added complication occurs when the pronoun at the end of the sentence refers to a verb that is understood but not written or spoken. For example:

. te

Adjectives

o c . che e r o t r s super Tom can run faster than I. (can) He is taller than I. (am) She rides her bike faster than I. (do)

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

Comparatives and superlatives Comparatives are adjectives used to compare two things and usually use the suffix ‘er’. For example: bigger braver Superlatives are adjectives used to compare more than two things and usually use the suffix ‘est’. For example: biggest bravest If the adjective is a long word (more than two syllables), ‘more’ or ‘most’ is used. more satisfactory most satisfactory 30

Teac he r

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between nouns and/or pronouns in the same sentence. Common prepositions include: during, for, between, in, up, on.

Prepositions of time: after, in, about, before, during, while, between, for, since, until, from, on, till, at, around place: beside, against, outside, inside, beyond, along, through, over, under, above, below, between, near, towards, behind, within, around, by across, beneath, down, up, on, in, upon, to, into, from

Capital letters

m . u

w ww

Idioms are sayings used in speech where the real and the literal meanings are different: to be caught red-handed See page 37 for a list of better-known idioms.

Capital letters are needed for: • sentence beginnings; e.g. I like my teacher. She is kind to me. • proper nouns; e.g. people’s names (Bob Brown), names of places (Pacific Ocean), days of the week (Tuesday), months (May), countries (New Zealand), nationalities (French), languages (Russian), religious faiths (Christian), holidays and festivals (Passover) • titles; e.g. Red Cross, The sound of music, ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ Note: R.I.C.

LANGUAGE FEATURES Commas Students need to understand the purpose of commas in text and particularly how commas can change meaning. I enjoy watching horses, eating hay and galloping around a paddock. I enjoy watching horses eating hay and galloping around a paddock.

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

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Commas can be used: • to mark a pause in text. Sometimes these may be a matter of personal choice. The trend seems to be to use commas less frequently • to separate a series of names (nouns), descriptions (adjectives) and actions (verbs—including adverbs) • to separate direct speech from the rest of the sentence • at the beginning and end of a letter • to separate parts of a sentence, including the name of the person being addressed, additional information and so the reader will not connect words that do not belong together.

Apostrophes for possession

Apostrophes are used to show that something belongs to someone or something. The placement of the apostrophe can be challenging but the simple rule is that it is placed after the owner or owners. (The ‘tail’ of the apostrophe ‘points’ to the owner(s).) the girl’s dresses (one girl) the baby’s shoes (one baby)

the girls’ dresses (more than one girl) the babies’ shoes (more than one baby)

Grammatical contractions

Grammatical contractions are words that have been made by joining and shortening two words. An apostrophe is used in place of the missing letters.

I had – I’d

it has – it’s

m . u

Quotation marks

w ww

Quotation marks (inverted commas) are used to enclose quoted speech or thoughts. Single or double quotation marks are acceptable but must be used consistently.

. te

‘Please feed that noisy cat’, Mum shouted. ‘I fed him yesterday, it’s Ben’s turn’, Adam replied.

Note: R.I.C. Publications® punctuates speech as recommended by the Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, 2002.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Quoted text must start on a new line unless the same speaker is continuing.

‘Look out, Ben! There’s a train coming’, Brad yelled. ‘I can see it‘, Ben replied. ‘Well get off the track’, yelled Brad. ‘You’ll need to hurry.’

Paragraphs Paragraphs separate text into meaningful sections to facilitate reading and understanding. Paragraphs start on a new line. A space is often left between paragraphs. The first sentence of a paragraph should indicate and introduce the content of the paragraph. Students are able to make use of this writing convention when ‘skimming’ text to quickly gain an understanding of the content.

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 48) • problem-solving charts (page 49) • senses charts (page 50) • tree charts (page 51) • semantic webs (page 52).

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.

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

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.

NOTE MAKING

w ww

In order for notes to be useful, students need to understand the information. Note making requires practice.

. te

m . u

Note making is a very important skill for students who need to be able to record what they read, see or hear.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Making notes from books Students need to: • concentrate to gain understanding • focus on main idea • identify keywords and facts Preparation • Work out what students already know and want to know about the topic. • Locate appropriate resources • Use table of contents or index

R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

• sequence information for easy retrieval • present notes neatly.

• Skim read by: looking at the title, reading first sentence of a paragraph, glancing at visual information, subheading etc. and reading final paragraph.

The English workbook – Teachers resource book – Book F

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Making notes • Be aware of the purpose for recording information. • Read through each paragraph for the main idea, supporting ideas and examples. • Record information so it is organised and easily understood. A graphic organiser can be very useful to link ideas.

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

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Making notes from oral presentations Writing notes can be useful because it helps to focus the listener’s attention and aids concentration. • Look at the speaker. • Look for clues to what is important; e.g. emphasis, repetition and pauses. • Concentrate on the main points. • Jot down headings and subheadings. • Note any concluding comments. • Develops useful personal abbreviations.
