Learning Goals • Express a complaint using a gerund • Use negative prefixes • Write a formal letter These glasses are just the worst! I can barely see with them!
Gerunds!!!. VERBS with an ING ending that ACT as Nouns! Crazy, but we all use them in English. Example: Verb= Annoy Gerund = Annoying. Jake annoyed his sister. Jake’s sister found him annoying. Icebreaker
The Bad Review: Our thoughts matter! Many people, before purchasing a product, read online reviews by everyday customers who have used the product Include in Review: • 1 -2 Gerunds in review • 1 -3 negative prefix words • Describe what was wrong or bad about the product. • Have a clear complaint: it was hard to use, it did not work well, it was very slow. . Diagnostic Review a Product • Pick a product you have used or purchased and returned. • Create a negative review outlining what you do not like about the product.
Negative Prefixes Activities A prefix is a beginning that is added on to a word. Example: Honest with prefix “dis” would be dishonest. • Negative Prefixes are: un, im, in, dis, ir, il. • Each prefix when added to a word changes the meaning of the word. • Un + Happy changes the meaning to not happy • Im+possible changes the meaning to not possible
