Ventures 3, Unit 6, Lesson D (p. 76)
When we did this earlier, I read aloud and you took notes.
That is how we would do this, but for this example, you get
to see the text first. Would anyone like to volunteer to read
this aloud at a pace appropriate for ESL level 4 students?
Great! Go ahead, nice and loud.
Good! And students are taking notes. You might read it a
few times and then let them work in partners to recreate
the rest of the text. I had you underline your original
words, so you could see the difference.

It might look something like this. You will see all of our
content words are underlined, yet the function words are
not.
Students discover they words they heard most clearly
carry the most meaning (Content words) and they are
stressed. The rest of the words carry less meaning
(function words) and are unstressed.
You might even extend this activity for further rhythm
practice by having students practice reading chorally with
a partner. End with a choral reading with the full class.
If “might” is debated, one could stress “might”' to
emphasize the possibility. Another way is no stress on
'might' and light stress on 'think' as the main verb.
Ok, that’s it for this strategy, but I that was a lot of info! I
want you to talk to your neighbor for 1 minute. Together,
explain the steps of applying Strategy #2 Teacher Script
for Stressed Words.
Great! Would one pair like to volunteer the steps they
came up with?
