Generate a list of at least four sets of three words that sound similar to each other, for example, sink, think, fink. Create 12 new folders and organize them in four rows of three. (On a PC desktop, right click, choose Folders, then choose New and click.) In the first row, name each folder with one of the three similar-sounding words. For example, the first folder is named sink, the second one is think, the third is fink. You will need to make the folders accessible on each students' computer. If you do not have computers networked, an easy way is to copy these to students'
desktops by doing the following: Put the 12 folders you created inside a folder you name
'Pronunciation' and save it onto a disk. Copy the Pronunciation folder to students' desktops by dragging it
from your disk onto their desktops. Then open it and drag the 12 folders
onto each student's computer desktop and place them in the correct rows. To avoid
cluttering the desktop for other classes or to have the folders rearranged
by other computer users, it may be a good idea to place the folders on students' desktops
just before class. |
