Grammar Warm Up

LC: to know how expanded noun phrases are used in writing for effect

 

 

LC: to retrieve information from a text from what is stated and what is implied

When we read stories, we learn information about the story in two ways. 

One is what is stated clearly in the text. 

The second is what is implied (suggested but not said directly or clearly). 

Let's read the story together.

 

Let's look at what is stated clearly in the story.

With your partner, write short answers to these questions on your whiteboards:

 

1. Where is the story set?

2. List 2 things we learn about Llywelyn from the first paragraph.

3. Describe Gelert using 3 adjectives.

4. What happened to the Prince's wife?

5. What did Llewelyn ask Gelert to do in the second paragraph?

 

Now, let's read again and think about what is implied in the text. 

This means that we understand a meaning in the text even though the writer has not stated it clearly. 

We need evidence to support this which is a quote that we have copied from the story. 

Look at the example below:

 

It is implied that people liked Llywelyn even though it is not written exactly in that way. 

Instead, it says in the text that there was ....

'  a brave and well-respected Prince called Llywelyn'

and this implies (suggests) that people liked him. 

 

What would it imply if the writer said, 

' .... a short-tempered and brutal Prince called Llywelyn'

 

Discuss with your talk partner.
