Phonics transcription is the representation of spoken sounds using phonetic symbols. Here is the phonics transcription of the following words using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA):

1. Gratitude – /ˈɡræt.ju.d̬i/
2. Truth – /truːθ/
3. Mood – /muːd/
4. Chance – /tʃaːns/

6. Toward – /təˈwɔːrd/
7. Ability – /əˈbɪl.i.ti/
8. Bosom – /ˈbʊz.əm/
9. Slight – /slaɪt/
10. Annoying – /əˈnɔɪ.ɪŋ/

Phonics transcription can be useful for language learners, as it can help them understand how words are pronounced and practice pronunciation themselves. It can also be useful for people studying linguistics or working in fields where precise pronunciation is important, such as acting or voiceover.

 

1. Gratitude – “I am filled with gratitude for all the help you have given me.”
2. Truth – “It is important to always speak the truth, even if it is difficult.”
3. Mood – “I am in a good mood today.”
4. Chance – “I’ll take my chance and try my luck at the lottery.”
5. Deed – “Her brave deed saved many lives.”
6. Toward – “He walked toward the door.”
7. Ability – “His ability to solve problems quickly is impressive.”
8. Bosom – “She rested her head on his bosom and fell asleep.”
9. Slight – “There was a slight chance that we would win the game.”
10. Annoying – “His constant complaining can be very annoying.”

Using words in sentences can help you understand how they are used in context and can also help you remember their meanings. It’s important to use words accurately and appropriately in order to effectively communicate your thoughts and ideas.

Relationship of communication, collaboration and digital literacy in teaching and learning 

Communication, collaboration, and digital literacy are all closely related and can have a significant impact on each other.

Communication is the exchange of information, ideas, or thoughts through speaking, writing, or using some other medium. Good communication is essential for effective collaboration, as it enables people to share ideas and work together towards a common goal.

Collaboration refers to the act of working together with others to achieve a shared goal or objective. It requires effective communication and teamwork, and can often be facilitated by the use of digital tools and technologies.

Digital literacy refers to the ability to use and understand digital technologies, including computers, the internet, and various software applications. It is an important aspect of communication and collaboration in the modern world, as many tasks and activities require the use of digital tools and platforms.

 

Presentation

The lesson presentation is done step by step. The class teacher or subject teacher does the following

Warm-Up:

• Review the spelling of simple words that students have previously learned.
• Have students brainstorm words that are related to the target words (e.g. grateful, honesty, emotions, opportunity, actions, direction, skills, chest, slightness, irritation).

Direct Instruction:

• Introduce the target words and have students repeat them aloud.
• Have students write each word on their own paper, encouraging them to take their time and focus on the spelling.
• As a class, go through the spelling of each word, breaking them down into syllables and sounding them out if necessary.
• Have students write the words again, this time using their best spelling.

Guided Practice:

• Have students work in pairs or small groups to spell the target words using the word search worksheets.
• Have students take turns spelling the words aloud and checking each other’s work.
• As a class, review any common spelling mistakes and discuss strategies for avoiding them in the future.

 

Independent Practice:

• Have students choose five of the target words and write them in complete sentences.
• Encourage students to use their own spelling strategies, such as breaking words into syllables or using mnemonic devices.

Conclusion :

• Have students share their sentences with the class and discuss any challenges they faced while spelling the words.
• Review the spelling of the target words one more time as a class.

Assessment:

• Collect the students’ writing samples and use them to assess their understanding of the spelling of the target words.
• Use a spelling test to assess students’ mastery of the words.
