THE LINKING TECHNIQUE APPROACH

What is Linking Technique approach?

Linking technique approach is where the pupils are to write other corresponding
sentences to the sentence they wrote before. Here, the use of WH-Questions tag
plays important role to brainstorm and generate ideas of what to write. Pupils
are also not bound to the only words given to help them write. However, this
technique is used solely to help pupils to write something if they are short on
ideas.

What is Linking Technique?

Linking technique acquires few step or method. First, they have to group the
words given in each picture into smaller group. Then, they write simple sentence
based on one smaller group words. From there, pupils will circle words that they
can elaborate on – using WH-Questions tag. Same process goes to the new
sentence.

EXERCISE 7 ANSWER

The female frog lays many eggs in static water or water that does not flow. They will usually
hatch six to twenty-one days after being fertilised. After hatching from the egg, the tadpole
will feed on the remaining yolk. The young tadpole only has gills, a mouth and tail. It will
first stick itself to floating weeds or grasses in the water. Then, seven to ten days after the

only has a small tail. It looks more like a frog. The frog will be fully grown between twelve
to sixteen weeks.
