Instrc Stratgy- Story Mapping. What is Story Mapping? A story map is a visual depiction of the settings or the sequence of major events and actions of story characters. This procedure enables students to relate story events and to perceive structure in literary selections. By sharing personal interpretations of stories through illustrations, students increase their understanding and appreciation of selections.
Story maps can be used as frameworks for storytelling or retelling, and as outlines for story writing. What is its purpose? To enhance students' interpretative abilities by enabling them to visualize story characters, events and settings to increase students' comprehension of selections by organizing and sequencing main story events to develop students' sense of story which will assist storytelling, retelling and writing to increase students' awareness that story characters and events are interrelated How can I do it?
Introduce story mapping as a collaborative activity. How can I adapt it? Teacher Resources. Instrc Stratgy - Researching. What is Researching? Research projects are very effective for developing and extending language arts skills as students learn in all subject areas. While doing research, students practice reading for specific purposes, recording information, sequencing and organizing ideas, and using language to inform others. A research model provides students with a framework for organizing information about a topic. Research projects frequently include these four steps: determining the purpose and topic gathering the information organizing the information sharing knowledge. What is its purpose? To increase students' ability to access information, organize ideas and share information with others to provide opportunities for students to read a variety of reference materials and resources to involve students in setting learning goals and in determining the scope of units of study How do I do it?
Students at all grade levels can be involved in the process of research. Determining the Purpose and Topic: Instrc Stratgy - Structured Overview. What is Structured Overview? Structured Overview is verbal, visual or written summary or outline of a topic. It can occur at the beginning of a unit, module or new concept, or it may be used to help relate a learned idea to the big picture. A Structured Overview distills difficult or complex idea into simple definitions or explanation, and then shows how all the information relates.
It is the process of “organizing and arranging topics” to make them more meaningful. What is its purpose? The purpose of a Structured Overview is to help students place new ideas in context. How can I do it? There are three main ways in which Structured overview can be used. How can I adapt it? A Visual Structured Overview can be a very strong tool for students who are struggling with the content of a subject. Teacher Resources. Serif. In typography, a serif /ˈsɛrɪf/ is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol,[1] such as when handwriting is separated into distinct units for a typewriter or typesetter. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). A typeface without serifs is called sans serif or sans-serif, from the French sans, meaning "without".
Some typography sources refer to sans-serif typefaces as "Grotesque" (in German "grotesk") or "Gothic",[2] and serif typefaces as "Roman". Origins and etymology[edit] Serifs originated in the Latin alphabet with inscriptional lettering—words carved into stone in Roman antiquity. The explanation proposed by Father Edward Catich in his 1968 book The Origin of the Serif is now broadly but not universally accepted: the Roman letter outlines were first painted onto stone, and the stone carvers followed the brush marks which flared at stroke ends and corners, creating serifs. East Asian analogues[edit] Classification[edit] Serif. Rhotic and non-rhotic accents. Preconsonantally. It was present in older New York and New Orleans regional accents, but became stigmatized and is sharply recessive in those born since the Second World War. of the 1930s and 1940s. Other mergers[edit] In some accents, syllabification may interact with rhoticity, resulting in homophones where non-rhotic accents have centering diphthongs.
Possibilities include Korea–career,[16] Shi'a–sheer, and Maia–mire,[17] while skua may be identical with the second syllable of obscure.[18] Distribution[edit] The red areas are those where Labov, Ash, and Boberg (2006:48) found some non-rhotic pronunciation among some whites in major cities in the United States. AAVE-influenced non-rhotic pronunciations may be found among African-Americans throughout the country. Examples of rhotic accents are: Scottish English, Mid-Ulster English, Canadian English and most varieties of American English and Irish English. The English spoken in Asia, India,[21] and the Philippines is predominantly rhotic. Scriptio continua. In the West, the oldest Greek and Latin inscriptions use word dividers, but these are rare in the later periods when scriptio continua becomes the norm (in Classical Greek and late Classical Latin).[1][2] By around 1000 AD, alphabetical texts in Europe are written with spaces between words.
Scriptio continua is still in use in Thai, other Southeast Asian abugidas (Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese script), and in languages that use Chinese characters (Chinese and Japanese) though with sentence breaks. Modern vernacular Chinese differs from ancient scriptio continua in that it does at least use punctuation, although this was borrowed from the West only about a century ago. Before this, the only forms of punctuation found in Chinese writings were punctuations to denote quotes, proper nouns, and emphasis. Before the advent of the codex (book), Latin and Greek script was written on scrolls.
Examples[edit] Latin text[edit] Which in modern punctuation is: Modern English[edit] Ah! 北京在中国北方；广州在中国南方。 Space (punctuation) In writing, a space ( ) is a blank area devoid of content, serving to separate words, letters, numbers, and punctuation. Conventions for interword and intersentence spaces vary among languages, and in some cases the spacing rules are quite complex. In the classical period, Latin was written with interpuncts (centred dots) as word separators, but that practice was abandoned sometime around AD 200 in favour of scriptio continua, i.e., with the words running together without any word separators.
In around AD 600–800, blank spaces started being inserted between words in Latin, and that practice carried over to all languages using the Latin alphabet (e.g., English). In typesetting, spaces have historically been of multiple lengths with particular space-lengths being used for specific typographic purposes, such as separating words or separating sentences or separating punctuation from words. Modern English uses a space to separate words, but not all languages follow this practice. 35-mm film. Homophone. Euler diagram showing the relationships between homophones (purple) and related linguistic concepts. Venn diagram showing the relationships between homographs (green) and related linguistic concepts. The word derives from the Greek homo- (ὁμο-), "same", and phōnḗ (φωνή), "voice, utterance". In wordplay and games[edit] Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader (as in crossword puzzles) or to suggest multiple meanings.
The last usage is common in poetry and creative literature. His death, which happen'd in his berth, At forty-odd befell: They went and told the sexton, and The sexton toll'd the bell. In some accents, various sounds have merged in that they are no longer distinctive, and thus words that differ only by those sounds in an accent that maintains the distinction (a minimal pair) are homophonous in the accent with the merger. Pin and pen in many southern American accents. merry, marry, and Mary in most American accents. "ice cream" vs. "euthanasia" vs. Wiktionary. IPA for English. Throughout Wikipedia, the pronunciations of English words are conveyed by means of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA); for a basic introduction to IPA, see Help:IPA/Introduction.
In particular, the following tables list the relevant transcription for various English diaphonemes; for a more complete key, see Help:IPA, which includes sounds that do not occur in English.

Dialect variations This key accommodates standard General American, Received Pronunciation, Canadian English, South African English, Australian English, and New Zealand English pronunciations. Therefore, not all of the distinctions shown here are relevant to a particular dialect: Other words may have different vowels depending on the speaker. Key. Subscript and superscript.
In professional typography, subscript and superscript characters are not simply ordinary characters reduced in size; to keep them visually consistent with the rest of the font, typeface designers make them slightly heavier than a reduced-size character would be. The distance that sub- or superscripted text is moved from the original baseline varies by typeface and by use. In typesetting, such types are traditionally called superior and inferior letters, figures, etc., or just superiors and inferiors. In English, most non-technical use of superiors is archaic.[1] Superior and inferior figures on the baseline are used for fractions and most other purposes, while lowered inferior figures are needed for chemical and mathematical subscripts.[2] Uses[edit] The four common locations of subscripts and superscripts.
The typeface is Myriad Pro. A single typeface may contain sub- and superscript glyphs at different positions for different uses.
