Verb To Be - Grammar Practice Worksheet

Lesson Objectives: The students should be able to identify the characteristics of a tall tale. The students should be able to explain why tall tales are used to entertain and teach morals. The students should be able to create their own tall tale with a moral lesson. This presentation tackles the concept of tall tales, their origin, characteristics, and how to create them. Tall tales are exaggerated, fantastic stories often used for entertainment and moral teaching. They trace their roots back to Aesop’s Fables in ancient Greece and gained popularity in 19th century America. Tall tales are known for their humorous tone and larger-than-life characters. They often incorporate exaggerated events, supernatural elements, and local dialects. A common moral lesson in tall tales is that anything is possible with hard work and determination. The process of creating a tall tale involves crafting a unique protagonist, giving them an incredible quest, introducing exaggerated elements, and concluding with a triumphant resolution. Students are encouraged to brainstorm and write their own tall tales, demonstrating understanding of their key features. PDF and PowerPoint inlcuded (18 slides)

A colourful presentation (18 slides) on the concept of the Hero’s Journey discussed in detail over twelve stages. The Hero’s Journey, also known as the monomyth, is a common narrative template found in many stories worldwide where a hero embarks on an adventure, faces a crisis, and returns transformed. The Ordinary World: The hero’s mundane, everyday life is depicted, often revealing him as an outcast or someone with a unique trait. The Call to Adventure: The hero is spurred into action by a discovery, event, problem, or danger, leading them from their ordinary world into a new one. Accepting the Call: The hero is given a task that only they can complete. They must decide to embark on this quest, eventually accepting the call. The Mentor & the Talisman: The hero encounters a mentor who provides them with a special object, skill, or advice that aids them in their journey. Crossing the Threshold: The hero enters a new, unfamiliar world with its own rules and challenges. Tests, Allies & Enemies: The hero faces obstacles and challenges, meets allies, and confronts enemies, which strengthens and prepares them for their main ordeal. The Approach: This is the preparation stage for the final battle or supreme ordeal. The Supreme Ordeal: The hero faces their biggest challenge, often losing something significant but emerging victorious. The Reward: The hero receives a reward for their bravery and endurance, which could be treasure, love, respect, or admiration. The Road Back: The hero decides to return to their ordinary world, still facing some remaining obstacles. Growth or Atonement: The hero, now wiser and stronger, uses their new skills to confront the ultimate power in their life. The Return: The hero returns to their ordinary world, transformed and often with a special object or ability that allows them to fit in better with society. The audience is encouraged to apply this knowledge to identify these stages in various stories, both written and visual.

This presentation (49 Slides) delves into the expansive world of poetry - its definition, types, creation, and its all-encompassing presence in our daily lives. The workshop also included multiple exercises to stimulate creativity and engage participants in writing their own poems. The workshop begins with a warm-up activity and a review of the basics: what is poetry, who writes it, where it can be found, and examples of famous poets and poems. Then, the presentation delves into the technical aspects of poetry, including figurative language, meter, speaker, subject, sound and rhythm, rhyme and rhyme scheme, theme, syntax, structure, form, tone, and mood. The session emphasises that poetry is not limited to traditional forms but can be found in song lyrics and even in social media platforms and everyday conversations. This is demonstrated through a game of identifying whether certain lines were from Shakespeare’s works or popular song lyrics. The ‘9 dots 4 lines Challenge’ introduces creative thinking and ‘thinking outside the box’ The second section off the session focuses on the creative process of poem writing, including preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and implementation. Participants are encouraged to note down their ideas and start writing using a variety of prompts provided to kickstart the writing process. Lastly, participants are encouraged to read, share, and re-write their poems, all while maintaining a positive and constructive attitude towards their work.

UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW IN NARRATION Points of view in narration serve as a bridge between the reader and the characters, providing a specific perspective for the story’s events. There are three primary types of viewpoints: second person, first person, and third person. Second Person: This unusual narrative style employs ‘you’ or ‘your’ pronouns. The narrator may be an observer or involved in the story. First Person: The narrator, often the main character, uses ‘I’, ‘me’, or ‘my’ pronouns. This viewpoint brings the reader closer to the protagonist and personalizes the story. Third Person: Using ‘they’, ‘them’, ‘he/she’, or ‘his/hers’ pronouns, this viewpoint creates a distance between the reader and the narrator. It can be limited or all-knowing (omniscient).

The canal is home to a diverse range of wildlife. This includes various birds, mammals, insects, and fish. Whether day or night, there’s always something to spot! Birds such as Mallard Ducks, Mute Swans, Waterhens, and Coots are common along the canal. The Kingfisher, known for its bright blue and orange feathers, can also be seen flying quickly along the water’s edge. Gray Herons, Water Voles, Brown Rats, and Weasels represent some of the mammalian life around the canal. In more wooded areas, you might find Gray Squirrels. At dusk, you might glimpse bats, like the Common Pipistrelle, hunting insects. Other common sightings include Dragonflies and various fish species such as Pike, Roach, and Carp. Amphibians like Frogs and Toads are frequently found near canals. Bird species like the Crested Grebe and Canada Goose are also common visitors. Keep an eye out for Rabbits around dawn and dusk. Nocturnal and shy animals like Badgers, Foxes, and Hedgehogs can occasionally be spotted. Many species of Butterflies and Shrews are also common during the warmer months. Songbirds like blackbirds, robins, and wrens can be heard and seen along the canal, as can Bumblebees during spring and summer. Although elusive, Otters have been making a comeback in UK waterways. You might also see different duck species other than Mallards. With such rich biodiversity, a walk along the canal can feel like a mini safari!

This presentation provides an in-depth exploration of the various genres in literature. It covers the different types of prose and poetry, and the sub-genres within them, along with their definitions and characteristics. The presenters for this topic are Chad Gibbons, Sean Dellosa, and Shawn Garcia Understanding literature involves recognizing its different genres and their specific characteristics. Literature serves multiple purposes - it provides insight into human experiences, helps develop language and communication skills, offers a form of escapism, inspires and motivates, encourages empathy, and builds connections between people. Prose, a major category in literature, uses ordinary language and consists of various genres like novels, essays, short stories, and newspaper articles. Poetry is another key category that uses imaginative and often rhythmic language to express ideas, evoke emotions, or narrate stories. Fiction and non-fiction are two broad categories under prose. Fiction includes novels, short stories, novellas, fables, parables, and legends. Non-fiction consists of history, news, biographies, diaries, anecdotes, and essays. Narrative, lyric, and dramatic are the three sub-genres of poetry. Narrative poetry tells a story, lyric poetry expresses personal emotions or thoughts, and dramatic poetry is meant to be performed in a play or theatrical setting.
