Lesson 4 Word Knowledge

to run a farm

•You might want to expose your students to the many dozens of meanings of run; however,

for this unit, it is critical to emphasize the meaning used in this story.

• In to run a farm, run means to be in control of, to take care of the daily chores and tasks that

need to be done on a farm, such as feeding the animals, cleaning the barn, tending the fields.

• Review and reinforce farm/barn concepts.

•Discuss the phrases to run a business and to run a household.

•Discuss and list what is needed to run other environments. For example:

a daycare center

a school or classroom

a restaurant like McDonald’s

the school cafeteria

demand

• Note that demand comes in different forms: demand, demands, demanded, demanding

•Demand can be both a noun and a verb.

Noun = an urgent need or the act of asking for something with extreme authority

Verb = to ask for with authority or urgently

•Discuss if the act of demanding something is polite or impolite (referring back to the list of

‘im’ words). Role-play a situation where you ask politely for something and then demand it.

For example, a student could ask another student to borrow a pencil in two different ways.

“Could I please borrow your pencil?” vs. “Give me that pencil now!” Discuss which is more

effective and why.

•Have the students write sentences using the word demand as well as the more polite way to

ask. “May I have some of your snack?” “I demand that you give me some snack!”

• Explain that some people have the ability or authority to demand, sometimes because it is a

matter of safety, such as policemen, firemen, lifeguards, teachers, principals, and parents.

These people don’t necessarily have to use the word demand, but the manner or tone of voice

in which they speak lets you know that they are making a demand.

Writing

•Pretend you are a person in authority and state a demand that you might make and why.
