SAMPLE SENTENCE STARTERS AND TVROS TABLE FOR WRITING NARRATIVE ESSAY

Here is a sample of how to write narrative essay using a 3V1F TVROS table. In this table, pupils can refer to it during writing practices. It helps the pupils to write a structurally correct sentences using basic Subject+Verb+Object table. You can refer to 3V1F technique in the ealier post. 3V1F (3 verbs 1 feeling) is a way for the pupils to write a paragraph foe each picture in the picture series. They must come up with 3 verbs and 1 feeling to sum up the whole paragraph. Like for instance:

asked (v)
walked (v)
tripped (v)
awful (f)

One Sunday afternoon, Ali's mother asked him to go the market not far from his house.
So he walked by himself to the market to buy the groceries.
On his was, he tripped over a rock.
He felt awful.
(39 words for first paragraph)

This technique will help the pupils to write around 30++ words for each picture.

I hope this help.

MORE UPSR 013 TIPS FOR SECTION B: STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE SUBSTITUTION TABLE

How do you feel about the story?

The story is intriguing. I feel delighted with the story because this story showed perseverance.

Here’s how you can help your pupils to answer like the above. How? By using this structured descriptive substitution table. Pupils simply choose the adjectives listed and fill in the blanks. 

You can change the descriptive words (in box A, B and C) to words that you would like your pupils to use or appropriate to your pupils. Hope this drilling activity will help our pupils to write their opinions about characters, events, and actions.

UPSR TIPS: GIVING OPINIONS

UPSR TIPS (Paper 1 Section B)

Giving opinions on characters / story / action.

For

RELP (PLC) Teacher Sharing Session

SK (Felda) Redong

One of the questions in the Penataran UPSR 2016 sample set, asking pupils to give their opinion on the action of the characters.

(e) Ramli and his wife emptied the box of worms onto Ujang’s head. Was the action correct? Why? __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________

[ 2 marks ]

So these are few words / phrases for you to answer the question.

            STATEMENT:

            Ramli and his wife emptied the box of worms onto Ujang’s head.

            QUESTION 1:

            Was the action correct?

            SUGGESTED ANSWER:

            SUGGESTED ANSWER:

            It is because ______________________________________________

·         the action does not show

	Bravery
	Enthusiasm
P	Kind-heartedness
	Honesty
P	Love and Affection
	Loyalty
	Peace-Loving
	Perseverance
	Sacrificing for Other
	Self-Confidence
	Sincerity
	Strong Belief

            COMPLETE ANSWER:

            Ramli and his wife emptied the box of worms onto Ujang’s head. Was the action correct?     Why?

            What Ramli and his wife did was wrong. It is because the action does not show       kind-heartedness, love and effection to his friend.

On the contrary, these words (moral values) can be use to describe positive actions too. The keyword here lies in the first few words of your answer. Instead of having to memorize different kind of adjectives or morals, use these words instead.

This is an example of positive opinion(s) on an action.
