Each student writes one body paragraph. (Body A, B and C for each essay are divided up equally among students) After writing the paragraphs, each student exchanges his paragraph with another student to be corrected.(Students correct as many grammar and structure errors as possible.) Each student types up his corrected version of the paragraph and brings it to class the next day. In the following class, students analyze the modal use in the paragraphs by answering the attached questions about modals and by peer-editing the modals in the paragraphs. Students then present their findings about modals to the class and the entire class discusses whether the student’s findings are accurate. GRAMMAR WRITING Modal Review Find and write down the modals that are used in this paragraph. Circle certainty modals. Underline necessity modals. Are the modals used correctly or should the author have used a different modal? Explain. Write two sentences from the paragraph. One sentence should use a certainty modal and one sentence should use a necessity modal. Explain why each modal was used in each sentence. (If there are not both in the paragraph, make up your own sentences to add to the paragraph.) 1. 2. Lesson: The English Verb System Collaboration ,[object Object]
