PRE WRITTING TECHNIQUES..10 June 2011_Friday

hello!! we all have learn about reading and speaking on our previous class..so,we move to writing..Miss Zu teach us about Pre writting techniques..miss Zu explain 4 type of pre writing technique..That are Brainstorming,Clustering,Free writing and quick writing..

                    1)Brainstorming 

•  Brainstorming is an informal way of generating topics to write about, or    points to make about your topic

example of brainstorming

                                 2)Clustering

• One pre-writing technique that is especially helpful for visual learners is called clustering.  In a cluster diagram the central events or components of an essay are presented visually; more detailed events branch off the main events to provide a visual overview of the entire narrative or report.  Although in this example the main events are numbered chronologically, it isn't necessary to do so and may, in fact, hamper the writer's ability to re-order these events to "fit" the thesis or to present the material more dramatically.

                                     3)Free writing

• Freewriting (writing quickly about the general topic; the idea is to keep writing rather than focusing on correctness or sense)

                                                                  

Miss zu want we all did this technique..she want we all write what the thing in our mind that time..so ,let me show to you all what i have write..I want to back home now.I miss my family so much.Today I go back by bus with my friend.That is my first time ..I hope no bad thing happen to me..thats all in my mind.hee 
               
                                    4)Quick writing

NOUNS....9 June 2011_Thursday

hye..on that day,we learn about grammar..

seriously,im not good in grammar..Miss zu teach us the basic of grammar that are nouns..so,I pay attention when Miss Zu explain this..Lets me share what are nouns.

What are Nouns?

The simple definition is: a person, place or thing. Here are some examples:

• person: man, woman, teacher, John, Mary
• place: home, office, town, countryside, America
• thing: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog, monkey

The problem with this definition is that it does not explain why "love" is a noun but can also be a verb.

Another (more complicated) way of recognizing a noun is by its:

1. Ending
2. Position
3. Function

1. Noun Ending

There are certain word endings that show that a word is a noun, for example:

• -ity > nationality
• -ment > appointment
• -ness > happiness
• -ation > relation
• -hood > childhood

But this is not true for the word endings of all nouns. For example, the noun "spoonful" ends in -ful, but the adjective "careful" also ends in -ful.

2. Position in Sentence

We can often recognise a noun by its position in the sentence.

Nouns often come after a determiner (a determiner is a word like a, an, the, this, my, such):

• a relief
• an afternoon
• the doctor
• this word
• my house
• such stupidity

Nouns often come after one or more adjectives:

• a great relief
• a peaceful afternoon
• the tall, Indian doctor
• this difficult word
• my brown and white house
• such crass stupidity

3. Function in a Sentence

Nouns have certain functions (jobs) in a sentence, for example:

• subject of verb: Doctors work hard.
• object of verb: He likes coffee.
• subject and object of verb: Teachers teach students.

But the subject or object of a sentence is not always a noun. It could be a pronoun or a phrase. In the sentence "My doctor works hard", the noun is "doctor" but the subject is "My doctor".

Thats a little bit about nouns..

P.Ramlee Movie....7 June 2011_Tuesday

Actually,today Miss Zu wanted to teach us about nouns but it was delete to another day

Scanning and Skimming...3 June 2011_friday

Usually,on friday we learn about reading..
So,Miss Zu teach us the new technique of reading..
This technique are SCANNING and SKIMMING..

Lets me share to you all what I have learn ..

                        Scanning

• This is a selective reading skills to locate facts and answers to specific questions..
• To save time you do not read every word on the page.
• You can scan a timetable ,pages of a dictionary,charts,table etc          

                         Skimming

• This is a reading skill employed to obtain the general idea of a text,to find out the writer`s point of view and to see how the contents in a passage are arranged
• When a text or a passage is too long and we have limited amount of time,we use this reading technique.
• When skimming,look for key words and phrases,the headings or subheading for the general idea of passage..
