English
Learning Objective: To combine words to create sentences.
Listen to me read the story from the beginning and an extra page today. Can you follow along with me?
New words:
- harvest- gathering crops The farmer harvested the carrots.
- lashing-beating The rain was lashing down on the windows
- flesh-the part of a fruit or vegetable that we eat I bit into the flesh of the peach.
Lots of things happen on this last page. Which words does the author use to describe what Pattan is doing?
The author manages to fit lots of actions in a short piece of writing by putting two actions (verbs) in one sentence.
Battling the lashing rain, Pattan climbed the mountain.
Cutting a big hole, he dived into its orange flesh.
How does this change the way we read this piece of text?
I think that it makes it more dramatic, like Pattan is rushing and panicking.
Think about a time when you have been in a rush or panicked. What were you doing? Think of two verbs. Use them to write a sentence with two actions in just like Chitra Soundar, the author of this story.
Here is my example.
When I rush I sweat and run.
Have a go at writing 2 or 3 sentences with two action words (verbs) in each.
