Introduce students to unit 2 of ML.

This lesson today is designed to prepare you for writing assignment #5:  Writing an article about Teamwork.

To get started, let's take a look at a unique way of approaching teamwork...

P. 16, question 1: What lesson did the new boss want his employees to learn?

1. How to work together better
2. How to apply creative destruction
3. What he had learnt at the municipal government
4. How to demolish a fridge

THE LESSON THE BOSS AT HAIER WANTED THE EMPLOYEES TO LEARN WAS ONE OF "CREATIVE DESTRUCTION" : 

TO DO THINGS WELL, OR TO BE MORE CREATIVE, IT IS SOMETIMES BETTER TO DESTROY WHAT YOU AHVE DONE AND START ALL OVER AGAIN. 

Which word is used in the text to say that in order to do something well, or to be more creative, it is sometimes better to destroy what you have done and start all over again.

P. 16, question 2: How would you react if a manager at your organisation did something similar?

Could you think of an instance where you might apply this lesson? If not with fridges, maybe with.....?

Reading

Your homework task was to read: 

"Training Leaders to Connect the Dots" on p. 16.

Answer questions B on p. 16.

Answer questions D on p. 17.

For grammar, do you prefer reading it, or watching a web lecture?

Reading from the book

Watching a web lecture

Combining the two methods

How do you emphasise your point in your writing?

Let's count the ways:

1. Using lists of three
2. Using superlative forms
3. Using 2 contrasting ideas
4. Using interesting or extreme adjectives
5. Emphasising a negative statement

You will be expected, in your next writing assignment, to apply AT LEAST 5 of these writing techniques/tools in your article about Teamwork.

Tool 1:   List of three

My grandmother was known for her generosity, cooking abilities and sheer intelligence.

The teacher was strict, funny and fair.

Useful tool: Creates impact and makes the statement more memorable.

- For longer sentences, use linkers: firstly, secondly, thirdly. 

Tool 2:  Using superlative forms

This is one of the juiciest and most extraordinary hamburgers I have ever eaten in my life.  

That exam was the most difficult exam ever!

THE MOST ...., THE BEST...., ETC. ARE

 OFTEN USED WITH EXPRESSIONS SUCH AS (ONE OF THE).... IN THE WORLD, IN THE COUNTRY, OR WITH ever.

Tool 3:  Using 2 contrasting ideas

I love classical ballet while my brother loves rugby.

  

My father is a die-hard conservative whereas my mother is a bleeding liberal.

The contrast of 2 different or opposite ideas using balanced or parallel words or the same grammatical form can make an impact.

Used often by public speakers and politicians.

Tool 4:  Using interesting or extreme adjectives

The last book I read by Stephen King was mesmerizing.

Our guest speaker, Queen Maxima, was very eloquent.

If you want to emphasis your point when writing or speaking it is much more engaging for the reader if you use a variety of adjectives and EXTREME adjectives RATHER than more ordinary ones like: GOOD / BAD / NICE/ DIFFICULT

MESMERIZING:  have someone's attention completely so that they cannot think of anything else:

ELOQUENT:  Expressing oneself readily, clearly and effectively.

Tool 5:   Emphasising a negative statement

This statistics course is anything but easy. (In other words, it is difficult.)

The student didn't do any homework whatsoever/at all.

Can use expressions such as ANYTHING BUT + an adjective.

WHATSOEVER / AT ALL

IT ISN'T / WASN'T
