Steps for Students

Click the link: ACTIVITY 3

During this activity, your team and the other teams will alternate turns and decide which part of each word is stressed. For instance, in the word “GIRAFFE” (gi-RAFFE), the stress falls on the second syllable, not the first one. Similarly, in the word “CALENDAR,” the stress is on the first syllable (CA-len–dar).

  4. Click on Check and decide whether the answer was correct or not. The answer shows syllables which should be stressed in CAPITAL LETTERS. Click on Oops if a word was mispronounced. 
  5. You might want to show students how silly words would sound if we kept stressing the wrong syllables all the time. Students usually have lots of fun with it.
