SLIDE 4

This week

Appreciating the music of English by listening and

practicing the rhythm of poems.

Understanding how English sounds are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d

and shortened to fit into the rhythm (English as a stress timed language).

It’s all about the rhythm

Dr Seuss – “Oh, the places you’ll go” (to 0:58)

lgo/ohplacesyoullgo

Listen to the rhythm of the poem more than

following the words.

Now pick some lines from the poem. Identify

which words are stressed to make the rhythm and practice these lines in pairs first, then around the table, getting feedback on the rhythm with which you speak.
