Word Classes and Grammar Frameworks - Building up analysis

Morning everyone,

Today you will be starting to use the grammar frameworks and word classes we have covered in the last few lessons to look at a text critically and build up analytical paragraphs. We will be using the 'Ode to a Hoody' text that we've annotated in class, so if you don't have one of these please come and see me before you begin.

Firstly, scroll back through my recent posts to find the PowerPoints on the frameworks and word classes to re-familiarise yourself with the content. If you missed Thursday or Monday's lesson this is essential and you must read the PowerPoints before starting.

Today's Task

Using GRAMPS, the grammar frameworks and word classes, write an analysis of 'Ode to a Hoody'.

In order to do this successfully you may want to first spend some time annotating the text and making notes so that you have the foundations for writing paragraphs.

You may also want to give each paragraph a framework to focus on, for example your introductory paragraph could discuss the GRAMPS of the text, and then each paragraph following could focus on a different framework. Remember to discuss the word classes in each paragraph, for example how the use of dynamic verbs suit the GRAMPS.

When finished, email me your paragraphs as a word document and then post them on your blogs.

Any confusion, come and see me.

Claudia
