Read an article about the overuse of plastic straws.

https://get-green-now.com/environmental-impact-plastic-straws/

The Environmental Impact of Plastic Straws – Facts, Statistics, and

Infographic

Take Action: Combat our

Single-Use Plastics Problem

Plastic straws and other single-use

plastics are a non-essential part of

our life. Yet, they cause so much

damage to the environment.

The simplest way to reduce plastic

pollution is to reject the use of

single-use plastics, like straws.

For example, the next time you go to

a restaurant, make sure you request

for your drink without a straw.

Another way to combat this problem

is to use reusable straws. These

reusable stainless steel or glass

straws can be used, cleaned, and

reused over and over again.

https://get-green-now.com/environmental-impact-plastic-straws/

[J] Phonics

In this module, we are going to do the following:

A. Revise all letter sounds.

B. Discuss the /s/ sound and the weak /ə/sound.

C. Discuss the /u:/ sound and the / ʊ/ sound.

D. Discuss syllables: plural and other –s endings.

A. Revise all letter sounds

All words have consonants, vowels and syllables. Look at the tables below and read aloud all the

sounds with your teacher.

Consonants:

Voiced

consonants:

b, c, d, g, j, l, m, n, r, th, v, w, y, z

/k/

Unvoiced

consonants:

c, ch, f, h, k, p, q, s, sh, t, th,

/s/

Vowels:

Short vowels: a e i o u

(bad) (pet) (hid) (hot) (cut)

Long vowels:

*with a magic “e”

A E I O U

(bade) (pete) (hide) (hote) (cute)

(late) (pete) (size) (bone) (tune)

B. Discuss the /s/ sound and the weak /ə/sound

/s/ sound is usually spelt ‘s’, ‘ss’, ‘c’ or ‘sc’.

Listening exercise 1

Look at the table below. Listen and read aloud the words.

‘s’ save separate spoke bus

‘ss’ class glass actress waitress

‘c’ city cinema circle pencil recycle percent

‘sc’ science scissors scenery


Underline all the /s/ sound. Listen and read aloud the following sentences.

1. The waitress saved two sisters in the city.

2. Do you see the scientist who is wearing glasses?



For words with two syllables, the unstressed syllable has a weaker sound. In this module, we will

look at the weak /ə/sound.

The weak /ə/sound can be found in the following spellings.



‘a’ aware annoying again sugar

‘e’ Separate spokesperson under

‘o’ police correct doctor

‘u’ support favourite subject(v.)


Listen and circle the word you hear.

1. show / sow We would like to see a show / sow in the park.

2. gain / again We’ll take this gain / again.

3. dress / address Do you know where Mary’s dress / address is?

4. away / way Take this away / way

C. Discuss the /u:/ sound and the / ʊ/ sound

/u:/ is a long sound. It is spelt ‘oo’, ‘ou’, ‘oe’, ‘u’, ‘ue’ or ‘ew’.



/ ʊ/ is a short sound. It is spelt ‘u’, ‘oo’ or ‘ou’.



‘u’ full bull sugar put pollution

‘oo’ look book boot

‘ou’ would could

‘oo’ too poo tool

‘ou’ group coupon

‘oe’ shoe

‘u’ music reduce fuel

‘ue’ blue true

‘ew’ few new

‘wo’ two

‘ui’ fruit juice nuisance

For the spellings ‘u’ and ‘ew’, there

is usually a /j/ sound before the /u:/

sound.



Complete the following sentences using the words given.

juice group fuel pollutes nuisance look

1. ! The car is coming.

2. Tom is in our .

3. Some bad drivers use illegal .

4. Smoke from car the air.

5. Noise from construction is a .


Listen and check your answers.

D. Discuss syllables: plural and other –s endings

When we change the noun ‘job’ into its plural form ‘jobs’, it is still a one syllable word. The ‘-s’

ending is just a consonant.

When we change the verb ‘call’ into its third person singular present, it is also a one syllable word.


Listen to the following phrases.

1. Susan’s sister

2. Sam talks

3. Daisy’s shoes

4. Jane jumps

However, when we add ‘-s’ ending to some words with the following endings, there will be one

more syllables. Look at the following table and read aloud.

/s/ classes glasses kisses

/ʃ/ wishes washes brushes

/z/ roses houses

/tʃ/ watches beaches witches

/dʒ/ fridges

In the example above, the ‘-s’ ending gives the word one more syllable. That syllable is pronounced

/iz/.

Pronouncing the ‘-s’ ending is very important. It can change meaning. Look at the following

examples.




Listen, read aloud and compare the following.

Noun Verb

1. Candy’s nose. VS Candy knows.

2. Mary’s comb. VS Mary comes.

Singular form plural

1. Danny’s friends dance. VS Danny’s friend dances.

2. The witches make a wish. VS The witch makes a wish.

Match the last word of each entry in column A with the words in column B so that they rhyme.

e.g. Mr fox’s d a. fridge

2. Miss Chan’s ____ b. watches

3. Mrs Bridge’s ____ c. yells

4. The witches’ ____ d. boxes

5. Michelle ____ e. wishes

6. Mr Smith’s ____ f. plans
