Writing- Framing sentences using New Words.

Grammar- Active and Passive Voice Learning Objective:

- Able to convert the sentence into passive voice - Able to know the usage of Active and passive voice in the

sentence.

Forms: Active Voice Form When we want to say that the subject of a sentence is doing the

action, we use the verb of that sentence in its Active form: e.g. A man is cutting down a tree. ‘A man’ = subject -- doing the action -- cutting - Active

Passive Voice Form When we want to say that the subject of a sentence is not doing

anything but is allowing something to be done to it by somebody else, we use the Passive Voice form:

e.g. A tree is being cut down by a man. ‘A tree’ = subject = not doing anything, but allowing ‘a man’ to

cut it. Passive The Modal Auxiliary (helping) Verbs in Passive Voice Form take ‘be’:

e.g. He will give you a book. Active Voice You will be given a book by him. Passive

e.g. They can pick a number. Active Voice A number can be picked by them. Passive e.g. We must finish this job. Active Voice This job must be finished by us. Passive

Convert the sentence into passive voice:

Duffy painted this picture. Passive- This picture was painted by Duffy

• They threw away the old newspapers. Passive- The old newspaper was thrown away by them.

• John is writing a book. Passive - A book is being written by John.

• They carried the injured players out safely. Passive- The injured players was carried out safely by them.

• I was writing a letter when the bell rang. Passive- A letter was being written by me when the bell rang.

Imagery And Alliteration: Alliteration: Definition and Example: Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter at the beginning of words in a sentence. Example: - P eter P iper p icked a p eck of p ickled p eppers - S he s ells s eashells by the s eashore

• These sentences are nursery rhymes also known as tongue twisters because they start the words within the sentence begin with the same letter.

Imagery- Definition and example Imagery is visually descriptive language using the 5 senses Example: - The red blazing sun shone bright throughout the wide pale blue sky over the rich green grass.

• This example of imagery appeals to the sense of sight by stating colors of specific nouns.

Degrees of Adjectives

Lo : Able to identify the degrees of adjectives in a sentence.

Able to frame sentence using degrees of adjectives.

Able to complete the notes neatly in notebook.

There are three Degrees of Adjectives in English. 1. Positive degree. 2. Comparative degree. 3. Superlative degree.

Positive dark tall useful

Comparative darker taller more useful

Superlative darkest tallest most useful

There are two ways of forming the comparative and the superlative: 1) By adding er, est to the positive:

Small smaller smallest

tall taller tallest

2) By means of more and most:

Difficult more difficult most difficult

▪ The positive degree is the normal adjective form, the one you probably think of

when you think of an adjective.

▪ You use this form when describing one thing or a group of things.

For example:

• Jessica's backpack is really heavy!

Heavy is an adjective in the positive degree.

▪ The comparative degree is used to compare two people, places, or things.

▪ The word "than" typically follows the comparative form.

For example:

Heavier as a comparative form - it compares Susan's backpack and Pedro's backpack. The

word "than" follows the comparative form heavier.

• Susan's backpack is heavier than Pedro's backpack.

• The superlative degree can be used if you are comparing three or more

people, places, or things.

• The word "the" typically comes before the superlative form.

For example:

Heaviest is the superlative form - it compares the backpacks of all of the students.

• The heaviest backpack belongs to Luke, because he never cleans it out!

Topic – Simile and Metaphor

Learning Objective – I can

• Identify similes and metaphors in writing

• Differentiate between similes and metaphors

• Interpret the meanings of similes and metaphors in context

Com – Independent Learning

Value – care

Simile - (pronounced sim--uh-lee)

What is a Simile?

Simile is a literary term where you use “like” or “as” to compare two different things and show a

common quality between them.

A simile is different from a simple comparison in that it usually compares two unrelated things.

The importance of using Similes

Similes are an important tool that make language more creative, descriptive, and entertaining.

Similes give the reader a more vivid experience of the story, calling powerful images to mind.

Examples of Simile:

▪ Strong as an ox

▪ Bright as the sun

▪ White as a sheet

▪ His heart was as cold as ice

▪ Sleeping like a log

▪ Fast as lightning

Metaphors (pronounced meh·tuh·for)

What Is a Metaphor?

Metaphors are comparisons between people, things, or places.

Metaphor states that one thing is something else. It is a comparison, but does NOT use like or as

to make the comparison. Example: Her hair is silk. Hair and silk are being compared.

Examples of Metaphors:

• A heart of gold

Franklin has a heart of gold!: Franklin doesn’t actually have a heart made of gold! This

metaphor is used to emphasize how kind and loving Franklin is – as if he was full of lovely things,

like gold.

The world’s a stage: This metaphor is used to say that people’s lives are full of drama because

so many things happen, so it’s comparing the world to a theatre stage.

Some more examples of metaphors:

• She is an angel.

(She is a nice.)

• My hands are ice.

(My hands feel very cold.)

• The stars were a blanket over the earth.

(The stars filled the night sky above the earth.)

• The wind was a piercing arrow.

(It was windy and very cold.)

• The jet was a bolt of lightning shooting across the sky.

(The jet flew fast across the sky.)

Label each sentence simile or Metaphor:

1. That man is an ogre. ___________________________

2. He is as smart as a fox. _________________________

3. The football player is a giant. _________________________

4. My abs are hard like a rock. __________________________
