Module 12

Interview report back

Activity 1:

To interact and understand and use direct and indirect speech orally and in writing

[lo 2.2, 6.3]

In this activity you will see how the rules one learns and practises in class are relevant in our daily lives: an interviewer uses direct speech while interviewing someone and then in the report back, the interviewee’s words are in indirect speech.

In fact, have you ever thought about the fact that every time you tell your friend or parents or anyone anything that anyone has told you, you are using indirect speech as you learnt it at school!

Oral:

You are now going to assume the role of interviewer . Consider all the talented learners and educators you come into contact with every day. Choose someone from your school and interview him or her on how he or she discovered and developed his or her talents.

Write the questions you want to ask your interviewee here. You can also record the response here.

It is now time to share this information with the class. In reporting back this valuable information orally, make sure you are following the rules of indirect speech. Your classmates are going to indicate this on the assessment chart (at the end of the direct and indirect speech test).

The following activity will give you a good idea of your ability to change direct speech into indirect speech in writing.

DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH TEST

Read each postcard and then complete the indirect speech which follows.

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
