When you read, you will find different language features that create emotion, interest, visual images and link ideas. It is what makes you want to read more.

You are a member of a linguistic team investigating a language feature that adds meaning to sentences.

Your task is to work out the how, and when we use these language features..

1You are a member of a group of 6. There are three different language features for the group. You will form groups of two. The teacher will assign to each pair a different language feature.

Each pair will research the language feature, video examples, create rules of use, and then you will work together to create a powerpoint.

You will present your powerpoint to the class on Friday.

You will also present a worksheet for the class to complete.
