Visual Language

In our second lesson, we re-vised the definitions of verbs, adjectives, pronouns etc to make sure we understood what category any particular word in a sentence falls into.

Verb - A 'doing' word
Adverb - Describing a verb
Adjective - A 'describing' word
Noun - Person, place, thing, name, animal, object
Pronoun - A name
Subjective personal pronoun - When the pronoun acts as the subject

We were then given an article which we had to summarise into 140 characters (if you were posting it on Twitter, for example). The characters included spaces and punctuation therefore we had to make sure it was concise yet still conveyed the basic understanding of the story. This was the article:


Which we then summarised to "Xfactor Katie Waissel reads everything about herself and tries to make amends regarding Matt Cardles sex scandle. Judges deny such rumours."


RIDDLE: What is more greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and when you eat it, you die? Answer: Nothing
