In today’s class we went onto the Nearpod app to practice our pronunciation. For this, Jose Ramon had prepared a few phrases for us to record ourselves saying. Once we played back all the recordings, our teacher then went on to explain to us that every sentence requires a different type of intonation (rise, fall, rise-fall, fall-rise), and for this we had to read different sentences and determine which type of intonation corresponded to each phrase; for example:
Finish your homework now! (Rise, because the emphasis is on the word “now”
Finally, to conclude the class, Jose thought of a very fun game for us to play. He asked us each to record ourselves reading a short story, using different voices and intonations, to see who could be the best story-teller! When we got to hear the recordings of our classmates, we couldn’t stop laughing! It was hilarious!
Everyone had done such a good job, and it was so fun giving each of our friends a score because sometimes we’d give someone a very low mark just to tease them! And then we’d end up laughing even more.
