 English Language Lesson Note For JSS3 (SecondTerm)

Below are the 2022 complete JSS3 Second Term English Language Lesson Note 

Week One: Revision of last term examination, Speech work: Consonant sound /t/ and /θ/, Grammar: Expressing exceptions, Composition: More on writing to a pen pal And Literature: Features of folktales

INTRODUCTION:

The consonant sounds are sounds that are produced with obstruction in the vocal cords. They are about 24 consonant sounds in the English Language. And while some are voiced sounds, some are voiceless sounds.

Also, consonant sounds are classified in terms of their place of articulation (speech organs used in pronouncing them), and manner of articulation (how they are produced). To learn more, click here.

Week Two: Speech Work: Consonant contrast /t/ and /s/, Grammar: Preposition which expresses relations with people, Composition: The School Prize-Giving Day And Literature: Poem- A lonely Child Literature: How the tortoise got the pattern on his shell

INTRODUCTION:

Consonant sounds /t/ and /s/ have the same place of articulation, which is alveolar, and they are both voiceless sounds. In this lesson, we would be describing each of them, and thereafter, contrast them from each other.

The /t/ sound is a voiceless alveolar stop. It is produced with the tip of the tongue, behind the front teeth. During pronunciation, the air is built up in the mouth and then released suddenly, this is what makes it a stop or plosive. And its other pair, in the classification of consonant sounds is the /d/ sound. To learn more, click here

Week Three: Speech Work: Consonant Contrast: /ʃ/ and /Ʒ/ And Grammar: The Simple Sentence

INTRODUCTION:

There are 24 consonant sounds in the English Language. The sounds /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ are pairs of both voiced and voiceless sounds.

The /ʃ/ sound is known as the voiceless palate-alveolar fricative. It is produced when the front part of the tongue is slightly moved towards the hard palate, and the tip of the tongue is behind the alveolar ridge. It is a voiceless sound, as the vocal cords do not vibrate when it is produced. To learn more, click here

 Week Four: Speech work: Consonant Contrast /ʌ/ and /a:/, Grammar” The Compound Sentence, Composition: A letter to a friend telling him/her about your best subject And Literature: Features of prose

INTRODUCTION:

The sound /Ʌ/ is a short vowel sound, while sound /a:/ is a long vowel sound. A description of both sounds would be carried out, alongside contrasting them.

The /Ʌ/ sound is a short vowel sound, and it is known as a mid-central unrounded sound. It is produced by raising the middle of the tongue, and like every other vowel sound, it is voiced and the air passes through the mouth. TTo learn more, click here

Week Five: Speech work: Nasal Sounds- /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, Grammar: The use of the Capital Letter And Composition: A letter to your grandmother/father telling them you are coming to spend your forthcoming holiday with them

INTRODUCTION:

Consonant sounds are sounds that are produced with an obstruction in the articulatory organs. The /m/, /n/ and /Ƞ/ sounds are nasal sounds, and this means that the air is expelled through the nose during pronunciation.

The /m/ sound is a voiced nasal bilabial sound.  It is a nasal sound because, when it is pronounced, the air is released through the nose. And it is bilabial because, the lips come together when it is pronounced, and it is voiced because the vocal cords vibrate when it is pronounced. To learn more, click here

Week Six: Speech Work: Vowels- /ӕ/ and /З:/, Grammar: Reflexive and Relative Pronoun And Composition: The Evils of Youth Unemployment

INTRODUCTION:

The vowel sounds /æ/ and /ʒ:/ are short and long vowel sounds respectively. They would be described, and examples of words in which they occur would be given.

The short vowel sound /æ/ is a voiced sound. During pronunciation, the front part of the tongue is pushed forward but lowered in the mouth, and the lips are spread. To learn more, click here

Week Seven: Speech Work: Vowels- /ƥ/ and /Ͻ:/, Grammar: Personal Pronouns, Composition: Drug Addiction, Literature: Language in poetry And Literature: Construct sentences with irony and hyperbole

INTRODUCTION:

The short vowel sound /ƥ/ is a voiced sound. During pronunciation, the mouth is open, the lips are rounded, and the front part of the tongue is lowered, while the back part is raised to the roof of the mouth. To learn more, click here

Week Eight: Speech Work: Vowel Sounds /u/ and /u:/, Grammar: Demonstrative Pronouns And Composition: Teachers are better than farmers in a society

Week Nine: Speech Work: Vowel /Ə/, Grammar: Differentiating between demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives And Composition: Population Explosion
