Kwame: That’s right! Let’s start by identifying stress in di-syllabic words and practice

pronouncing them. After that, we’ll work on writing sentences and creating dialogues.

Ready?

Activity 1: Stress Identification

Students will listen to words and identify which syllable is stressed in di-syllabic words.

1. Instructions:

 - The teacher pronounces words, and students will indicate which syllable is stressed.

 - For mono-syllabic words, the entire word is stressed.

 - For di-syllabic words, students must identify if the first or second syllable is stressed.

3. Worksheet Exercise:

 - Listen to the teacher pronounce these words: student, visit, dog, rabbit, answer.

 - Write down whether the stress is on the first syllable, second syllable, or on the whole

word.
