Caleb walked quicker than he usually did because he could not wait

to get home to start on his book. When he first arrived at the school, he

thought that using braille to read would be an uphill task. Surprisingly,

he picked it up quickly and armed with his knowledge of braille, he was

introduced to the world of books. Like many of his classmates, Caleb took

every opportunity to read. Feeling the six raised dots with his fingertips was

what he needed to do to know the letters of the alphabet. Not having

lost his sight from birth, just like the inventor of braille, Louis Braille, Caleb

was devastated when he could no longer read his favourite books and

magazines. It was only when he went to school did he realise that it was

possible to read anything he wanted.

Read about a boy who is visually impaired.

devastated: very shocked and saduphill task: something difficult to do

Suggested Points for DiscussionReading Comprehension / Thinking Skills• Why was Caleb in a hurry to get home? (wanted to start reading his book)• What tool allows the visually handicapped to read? (braille)• What is one similarity between Caleb and Louis Braille? (did not lose their sight at birth)

Vocabulary• Look for the word that is similar in meaning to ‘chance’ in the phrase ‘take the chance’. (opportunity)• What does the word ‘armed’ mean in this extract? (having the knowledge, skills or equipment to do something) What

is another meaning of ‘armed’? (carrying weapons)

Grammar• The second and last sentences of the extract contain the connector ‘when’. How are these two words placed

differently in the sentences? (Placed at the start of the second sentence, placed in the middle in the last sentence) What punctuation is needed in the sentence when the sentence starts with ‘when’? (comma)

• The first sentence ‘Caleb walked quicker than he usually did because he could not wait to get home to start on his book.’ contains a modal verb. What is the modal verb? (could) When is it used? (as the past tense form of ‘can’, to express tentativeness ‘He could complete the marathon.’, to express politeness ‘Could you show me the way?’) Name another modal verb and give an example to show how it is used. (e.g. can, will, would, shall, should, must, may, might)

Oral Skills• Is it easy for the handicapped to move around? Why or why not?• Look around you. What invention are you particularly grateful to have? Why?• Should children of your age be encouraged to spend time thinking of inventions? Why or why not?

GRAMMARUsing Nouns and Noun Phrases in Apposition

Louis Braille was studying in the Royal Institution for Blind Youth, a well-known school for the blind, when a soldier visited the school.

The phrase a well-known school for the blind tells us more about the noun the Royal Institution for Blind Youth. It is a noun phrase in apposition.

Nouns in apposition can be found at the start of the sentence, in the middle or at the end of the sentence.

There are two different types of nouns in apposition.

1. non-defining This tells us more about the noun but it does not define the noun for we already

know whom/what the noun is talking about.

My best friend, Simon, lives across the road from me. (The speaker only has one best friend.)

2. defining This defines the nouns for without it, we will not know exactly whom/what the

speaker is talking about.

My friend the archaeologist will be giving a talk at the auditorium tomorrow evening.

(The speaker has more than one friend. The archaeologist defines which friend the speaker is

referring to.)

Examples:

1. A magnificent ship, the Titanic, hit an iceberg.

2. The scientist Owen Lee discovered a vaccine for an infectious disease.

3. The vineyard Jackson Valley exports its wine to more than twenty countries worldwide.

4. Green Valley Nursing Home, a home for the aged, is located at the top of the hill.

5. The engineers in the company report to Sophia Taylor, the managing director.

vaccine: a substance containing a weak form of a disease to protect people from that diseasevineyard: a place where grapevines are grown to produce wine

SuggestionPair students up. Have the students in each pair write a sentence about each other using a noun in apposition. Have the students share their sentences with the class.

REVIEWA. Proper Nouns

The words in bold are proper nouns. They are the specific names of places (Jerbury, Dale) and people (Caleb). Proper nouns are also the specific names of titles, events, places, days and months. They start with a capital letter.

PreparationA list of proper nouns that can be categorised into common categories such as ‘names of roads’, ‘names of countries’, ‘names of festivals’ for each pair of students in the class

SuggestionPair students up. Give each pair the list of words and have them arrange the words and come up with the categories that the words belong to. Then have them write one additional proper noun in each category. Have students share their answers with the class. Have students select three words from their list to form an amusing / ridiculous sentence. (E.g. Every Monday, Jack swam with his pet turtle in Lake Michigan.)


Date:



B. Possessive Nouns

This is one of Neo Clark’s most popular book.

The word in bold is a possessive noun. We use possessive nouns to show ownership or possession. We use ’s (apostrophe s) or ’(apostrophe) to show possession.

Examples:1. adding ’s to singular nouns that do not end in s John’s invention won the first prize on Innovators Day.

2. adding ’s to plural nouns that do not end in s The men’s shoes are in the hallway.

3. adding ’ to plural nouns that end in s

The scientists’ experiments yielded some surprising results.

4. adding ’ or ’s to names that end in s James’ son is a researcher in the university. Thomas’s car was parked by the side of the road.

5. adding ’s to compound nouns My father-in-law’s dog passed away last week.

6. (a) adding ’s to the second name when nouns are joined by ‘and’ and the people own the same item

Emma and Logan’s new restaurant sells Vietnamese food. (They both own the same restaurant.)

(b) adding ’s to both names when nouns are joined by ‘and’ and the people own separate items

Sofia’s and Wayne’s jobs require them to travel overseas twice a year. (They are working in different jobs.)

EXERCISE 2B

Read the sentences. Add ’s or ’ where necessary.

1. All the farmers’ crops were destroyed after an insect infestation.

2. Without technology, our ancestors’ lives were much simpler then.

3. The author’s book signing session was very popular.

4. The sheep’s wool would be sent to a factory to be processed.

infestation: have a lot of insects in a place, causing damageyielded: produced; resulted in

Learning OutcomeStudents will be able to correct sentences by adding the apostrophe or apostrophe ‘s’ to form possessive nouns.

C. Connectors

Look through extracts from actual notes and find out how archaeologists work.Caleb walked quicker than he usually did because he could not wait to get home to start on his book.

The words in bold are connectors.

And joins ideas that are the same or are related.

Because shows the reason for something.

Examples:

1. The scientist repeated the experiment five times he achieved the desired result.

2. If the temperature is too high too low, the culture will not grow.

3. Lock the laboratory before you leave no one will be able to get in.

4. The invention is interesting useful.

Preparation• A 4 × 4 card for each group in a class to play bingo with a different connector in

each box in the 4 × 4 grid• Sentence parts that can be joined using the connectors on the bingo cards

SuggestionDivide the class into groups and give each group a bingo card. Show a pair of sentence parts at a time and ask students which connector can be used to join the sentence parts. Have students cross out the relevant connector on their cards. Remind students that more than one connector can be used for the same purpose. The first group to cross all the boxes in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line wins. Alternatively, only the group that crosses out all the connectors on the card wins.

Learning OutcomeStudents will be able to complete sentences using connectors.

until

either or

so that

both / not only

Although

and / but also

because / for / since / as

PromptRemind students that when sentences are connected with ‘neither ... nor’, other negative words like ‘not’ in the sentences should be removed. (E.g. He does not like swimming. He does not like cycling. He likes neither swimming nor cycling.)
