Assignment A Text 3 – Elementary **Elicit and Explain:** To introduce the word "addicted," I would engage the class with a reference to the story of Violet from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Here’s how the interaction might proceed: **Elicitation:** Teacher (T): "Who has read this book or watched the movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'?" Class: *Various responses indicating familiarity.* T: "Do we all remember the girl, Violet?" Student 1 (S1): "Yeah, she was the girl who couldn’t stop chewing gum." T: "But why was she unable to stop?" Student 2 (S2): "I think it was like a bad habit thing she had; she could not resist the gum." T: "Nice use of the word 'resist,' Max. We are on the right track. If Violet cannot stop chewing gum, it’s something she does all the time, and she cannot resist the temptation, then maybe the chewing gum was…?" Student 3 (S3): "She was addicted!" **Explanation:** T: "That’s right! And if Violet is addicted, the chewing gum must be addictive." T: "When something is addictive, it is so enjoyable that you want to do it or have it as often as possible." **Teach the Pronunciation:** To ensure correct pronunciation: T: "Because we are describing something about the chewing gum, we need to be very careful with pronunciation and stress. Let’s count the syllables (3): A. Where is the stress in this word?" Class: "The second part!" T: "Great! Repeat after me: Don’t eat Violet’s chewing gum, because it’s very addictive (Uh-dik-tiv)." Class: "Addictive!" **Concept Check:** T: "Okay, so just to make sure we all understand the meaning. Do we think video games could be addictive?" Class: "Yes, they can." T: "Because…?" Student 3 (S3): "You want to play them all the time and they are very enjoyable." --- This structured approach ensures that the students not only understand the meaning of "addicted" but also practice its pronunciation and apply it to different contexts. Next, let's proceed with ITEM 2: Mode(s).
