After our mini lesson, we will deal with a new topic: dialects, accents, and intonation.
PROMPT 1:
Explore the following website about dialects, pick one or two partners, and translate the fairy tale "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut" that I distributed as a handout back into Standard English.
PROMPT 2: Creative Writing Task
Write your own story (can be a fairy tale, a poem, or anything you like; limit 1 page) in "dialect"! Email that to me. If you don't finish today, it will be homework with due date this Friday at class time. For an example, use the story I emailed out which was created by the grammar 300 course of last semester...
