AS English Language
This exercise uses an extract from a real-life article and dissects its sentences. The exercise asks students to examine the sentences, identify them and comment on how they contribute to or create meaning. Solutions are given afterwards so that students can confront what they have missed.
The exercise shows how sentence structure - syntax - can contribute to meaning. Very often disregarded, worth writing about though.
One Pdf file - 4 pages - task and solutions (to be given out for reflection afterwards)
The Powerpoint presentation - use the text to read extract together; then only use the rest when students have tried to dissect the sentences. make them identify sentences, then consider how syntax effects meaning.
I have included a reference material I have created that shows the nine patterns of possible sentence structures to help identification. (maybe a good thing could be to spend a lesson beforehand to learn these patterns.)
