TEXT ATTACK STRATEGY: CHUNKS

CHUNKS ARE TWO OR MORE WORDS WHICH ARE FREQUENTLY USED TOGETHER e.g. A GREAT MAJORITY OF, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF. Students need to know and use both general and topic specific chunks. Possible tasks: A melting pot text Underline specific chunks: cotton farms, descendants of the slaves. Underline general chunks: arrived from , there are about 25

READING USING ANAPHORIC REFERENCE

Students divide the chunks according to anaphoric reference. Use different coloured pens to show the reference chains in the texts. Tell your partners your chain patterns. The cat sat on the mat. It was grey. It was very old. It was on the floor. Mrs. Green liked it a lot.

Adjective + noun chunks

Work with a partner. Draw a circle in your copy book. Choose noun or adjectives. One of you writes the adjectives outside the circle and one writes the nouns inside the circle. Work together and match them up.
