I have a couple of questions that I
need help with. Please let me know if
you agree with my answers.
1. "I'm cutting the apple into six
pieces so that you can share
with each of your friends,"
is an example of:
A. elaborated speech
B. explanatory speech
C. expansion
D. detail-oriented language
2. "I eated it all up!"said Jimmy.
Mrs. Newman,his teacher,should
say:
A. "Jimmy,say that again,but instead
of saying "I eated it all up!
say,"I ate it all up."
B. "You eated it all up? Then what
happened?"
C. "What did you eat up?"
D. "That isn't the right way to
say that. Try again."
#1. (B) explanatory talk
#2. (C) "What did you eat up?"
I am a little confused on the second question, (I know you should model the
correct word.)
"Please Help!"
Both of your answers are correct. :-)
I'd tell the child, "You ATE it all up? What did you eat up?" That would give the child the correct form of the verb for both past and present tense. But since that's not a choice...I'd go with your answers.
Let's go through the questions and answers to help you understand them better.
1. "I'm cutting the apple into six pieces so that you can share with each of your friends" is an example of:
The correct answer is B. explanatory speech. Explanation: This statement is providing an explanation or clarification about why the apple is being cut into six pieces. It is giving a reason for the action.
2. "I eated it all up!" said Jimmy. Mrs. Newman, his teacher, should say:
The correct answer is A. "Jimmy, say that again, but instead of saying 'I eated it all up!' say, 'I ate it all up.'" Explanation: Mrs. Newman should correct Jimmy's grammar by modeling the correct way to say the sentence. By repeating the sentence correctly, she is teaching him the correct form.
So, your answer for the second question is correct. Mrs. Newman should ask Jimmy, "What did you eat up?" to prompt him to rephrase his sentence using the correct past tense form of "eat."
I hope this clarifies the questions and answers for you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
