Discussion
- Do you have any sounds in your L1 that rarely appear, like zz in English? Give examples of words containing them.
Practice
- Practice saying the words with zz on slide 6 out loud. Can you add any more words to this group?
- Look at the eight different ways that the sound sh can be spelled on slide 7. If possible, write at least three more words with each spelling. Practice saying them out loud.
- Practice saying the words ending with sh on slide 8 out loud. Can you add any more examples in each group.
- Use the words on slide 8 to create new phrases with CV and CC connections, e.g., ‘dish of’ / ‘dish cloth’. Practice saying them out loud, moving forward sh in both CV and CC connections. Put your phrases into whole sentences and practice saying them out loud.
- Write sentences that contain at least two connections with sh moving forward, e.g., ‘I wish we were having mash for dinner.’ Practice saying them out loud.
- Practice saying the phrases on slide 10 out loud. Focus on making the sh sound in both CV and CC connections. Try to imagine longer sentences based around these phrases, e.g. ‘He put the dish of uneaten crackers in the trash bin.’ Say them out loud.
