Page 62: “News in brief”

GOALS

1. Demonstrate understanding of vocabulary / terms by filling in the blanks of incomplete sentences.
2. Demonstrate Reading Comprehension by matching the stories with the headlines.
3. Learn 3 types of pronunciation for past participles ending with “ed” (/t/; /d/; /id/) – /id/ is the extra syllable on words ending with t or d. (Practice spoken pronunciation with 4 in a row game.)

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS

• Follow Directions
• Participate in reading and writing
• Take Notes
• Listen When I Speak

PRESENTATION

1. LISTEN as I read while reading along. I will pause to define the vocabulary for you to complete part 1 of the classwork. Read again on your own and use a separate piece of paper for your answers.
   
2. The ed ending on regular past simple verbs ending in /t/ or /d/ is pronounced with an extra syllable (/id/). For example: started, waited, ended. For all other past simple verbs there’s no extra syllable. After unvoiced sounds: /k/, /p/, /f/, and /s/, ed is pronounced /t/. For example, stopped, walked, watched. After voiced sounds, ed is pronounced /d/. For example, arrived, changed, used.

Voiced and Voiceless Consonants

What is a Voiced Consonant?

A simple explanation of voiced consonants is that they use the voice. This is easy to test by putting your finger on your throat. If you feel a vibration the consonant is voiced. Here is a list of some voiced consonants. Pronounce each consonant sound (not the letter) and feel the vibration of your vocal chords.

b
d
th (as in then)
v
l
r
z
j (as in Jane)

What is Voiceless Consonant?

Voiceless consonants do not use the voice. They are percussive and use hard sounds. Once again, you can test if a consonant is voiceless by putting your finger on your throat. You will feel no vibration in your throat, just a short explosion of air as you pronounce. Pronounce each of these consonant sounds and feel NO vibration in your throat.

p
t
k
s
sh
ch
th (as in thing)
